Lost for reactivation product key sticker.

Separated from this thread.

1. can not activate this certificate number of product in my pc activation key.

I could not activate my Vista after I am reformatting my PC because the product key sticker missing 2 alphanumeric numbers.  Help, please.

Hello

Try a torch and a magnifying glass to read the missing letters/numbers.

Or take a picture of the thumbnail and blow it up on the computer

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

See you soon.

  • New XPS 8700 - no product key sticker?

    Hi all

    I just got my new 8700 XPS of FedEx today. I was check your box to admire its design and learn where all the ports when... I noticed there is No sticker of the product key of Windows 8. It is also the Microsoft Certificate of authenticity (from what I've seen). In the past, each computer Dell with Windows 7 or more is shipped with a product label key desktop somewhere he had normally on top of the case and laptops he had under the battery, or just on the bottom of the laptop.

    After you call Dell customer service, the representative informed me the product key is embedded in the motherboard. Dell no longer includes a sticker with the product key. I mentioned how it was weird because there is a square area above the service tag label that seems to be specifically for the product key sticker. Yet once, the representative assured me that, if I have to reinstall Windows, installation don't automatically assume the key to the motherboard. The representative was very nice and helpful, no issues here.

    There are probably programs out there to recover the product key of Windows 8, so I can write it physically. For this reason, I'm sure I can get the key myself. My two questions are:

    1.) can anyone else confirm if Dell is 100% not including stickers product key on their new computers?

    2.) any person properly reinstalled Windows 8 with the help of the method of the 'motherboard product key?

    Thank you for your time,

  • Product key sticker - Barcode Format?

    Hello

    I wonder if someone can tell me what format of barcode is used on Microsoft product OOA stickers?

    I have often run into the situation to try to read the number of the product of a warning or damaged COA sticker.

    The key number is often illegible and the ability to decode the bardcode can be useful.

    If MS accepts the comments so they need improve the sustainability of these stickers COST than the Vista and Windows 7 those who wear out much to easily. However Windows XP stickers seem much more durable and often surviving unit.

    If the information on the certificate of authenticity cannot be recovered, what is the process to request a replacement COST?

    Kind regards

  • Vista product key sticker is worn. How can I get code?

    my friend has a Toshiba Satellite phone that she bought from a retailer in the United Kingdom. Vista stopped booting and I checked the hard drive that has no bad sectors. It seems that I need to reinstall Vista, but the product key sticker is affixed to the underside of the computer and some of the numbers are worn. Looking carefully with a magnifying glass class I seem to have 21 out of what looks like 24 digits.

    Anyone know how I can get the rest of the code? I have all the other codes from beneath the laptop. This includes the serial number of the laptop and the number that is greater than the activation key and bar codes.

    In any case a round of applause for the one who puts the sticker under the laptop, where it must obviously be carried away.

    Current situation for laptops.  More recent, some manufacturers are put it in the compartment to batteries or if I hear.
     
    The activation key will be 5 sets of 5 characters.  You write what you can now.
     
    Contact Toshiba and explain the situation.  See if they will give new keys (which I doubt.)  If this is not the case, contact Microsoft by using the information in this article:

  • Faded to the Windows 7 product key sticker

    I had to install a new hard drive on my laptop and did not have a Windows 7 installation disc Toshiba - laptop came with pre-installed software. The sticker of the product key on the base of the laptop is faded, so I used 3rd party software and extract the key from the registry. I downloaded an iso of Win 7 and used this product key and all very busy, and I used it successfully for the past few weeks. Now, it is said, I have 10 days to activate my product key is invalid for activation. I have read various threads that keep that product key recovered and used for the loading of Windows & is not suitable for activation, so I'm back to faded sticker. I figured out all but one the letters/numbers and wonder if I enter the product key sticker, and I guess that last number (I think it's a B, a 3 or an 8), if it turns out to cheat should I get another chance to enter the product key and try one of the other numbers/letters combinations? Thank you

    You will never be able to activate a downloaded the ISO of Windows 7 with the key that came with the laptop. Your laptop came with a Toshiba OEM of Windows 7 version, and the ISO would be a commercial version.

    You have to get a set of recovery discs from Toshiba or purchase the complete retail Windows 7 installation.

  • I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help to send a photo to show him what it's like.

    Original title: product key

    Hello

    I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help if I can send a photo to show him what it's like. I formatted my laptop and he asks the authentic copy. I really need help coz 2 days left to activate.

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.

    Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation.  You can also use a magnifying glass.

    If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file.  However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

  • Can I re-use the product key sticker cost?

    Hello, the key to the sticker on the side of my computer are recoverable for reinstallation on the same computer?

    I just got a new hp computer and right when I turned it on it was loaded with junk. So I went to DigitalRiver and got a copy of the 64-bit Windows7 home premium. When I installed it it ask for the product key because I gave him the key OEM (FG 4, 99 - BC3HD-*-*-*) and it does not work, so I jumped it. Later, I went into my PC and received the sticker product key, which differs from the oem one and it works. It is, if im going to to reinstall Windows 7 (the digitalriver) it will work if I use the sticker product key yet?

    Hello

  • The Windows product key sticker has disappeared and cannot use it to activate

    Windows product key sticker is missing at the bottom of my laptop and I can't do some of the latest figures, my laptop computer manufacturer did not provide any hardware Windows 7 or a disk and I contacted them and they won't help. My windows 7 is actually owner I have the sticker on the bottom of my laptop as evidence, can I send this to microsoft to help out me? also note, I had problems with my laptop and realizing that the hard drive has indeed not my old windows 7 installed and the hard drive is faulty, it cannot be extracted, that is the reason why I have a problem.

    your manufacturer would have provided a recovery partition on your hard drive to recover windows. If your hard disk does not and you can't read your key, you will probably need to order from your manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (no key needed, because the OEM SLP key is embedded).

    Try a bright light and a good magnifying glass to read your product key.

  • Product key sticker not readable

    Hello

    Need help with my product key sticker.  My friend gave me his HP Netbook that has Windows 7 Starter edition is installed.  The sticker that has the code on it is attached at the bottom of the computer, and therefore, I can't read the third channel of information...  I can read as follows: ABCDE - SON-JK? MNOPQ-RSTUV.   The? are at the door of the letters on the product key sticker.    I found the CD key in the registry, but that the CD key is different from what is on the sticker, because I think it is came with Windows 7 Starter and Windows update it took for SP1.  How can I do as I want this info before upgrading the operating system in case it is needed.

    Thank you

    Hello

    We cannot help you find what is the product key.

    We can ARICI give you information to help you reinstall and activate this operating system of Windows Starter.

    As it's a Netbook, it shouldn't have a DVD player.

    But it will be a Partition to reinstall Windows 7 from recovery.

    You can do this passing through HP Recovery Manager or by pressing F11 at STARTUP.

    It is all explained in the link to HP

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c01867418&cc=us&destPage=document&LC=en&tmp_docname=c01867418

    The product key that you found in the operating system's product key which is used on several machine during the production of the factory and is useless for purposes of resettlement.

    It's nothing to do with the SP1.

  • Satellite L300 - Microsoft Office ask again me for the product key

    Hi I have a Satellite L300 and there Windows Vista. When I use Office at home thing he always asking me for a product key.

    I put it in but he falis to recognize? Why? He says that I don't have 18 going to the left. I can no longer access the processor then? If its pre-installed but why it ask me the number?

    In any case it took me forever to get herre to write this. Why cantToshiba have just a simple e-mail response to the queries of customers service! I bought it in August last year and this is the first time that I need help, but you would have thought that they would have made it easier to the needs of customers!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    > Home Office thing
    Nice description ;)

    In any case, I think you mean the version of Microsoft Office that is preinstalled on your laptop. As far as I know that s only a trial version of it and that means you need to buy a version of office if you want to continue using it.

    If you n t buy a version of desktop, you can t more use it.

    Finally, and especially if you have several problems, you should contact a Toshiba instead authorized service provider directly.

  • Worn Windows product key sticker on laptop with failing HARD drive.

    The hard drive on my laptop failed, so got a new one up and started to install windows... just to find out the product key sticker is worn and it don't keep anything about.

    Thus,.

    HP is able to get the product key with the serial number of the laptop?

    Or

    Can I get a recovery disk to reinstall Windows without needing a key?

    Thank you.

    recovery disk is an option that will include license certificates & register automatically.

    Another option is to use a tool that will load the oem certificate & series to your new installation, google help on mydigitallife.info.
