• Change the product key for Windows 7 Code

  I bought a package of Windows 7 from a supplier without realizing it was a distribution of subscription "not for sale". It is now installed on my computer after a painful migration from a dying hard drive which had Windows Vista installed. The old drive is now corrupt and not repairable.

  When I tried to record the installation, I found that he was blocked. I have to make sure that it is for the reason above somehow. How to check this?

  It seems I have to buy another Package of Windows 7 but I don't want to do a fresh install since I went to great effort to set up the installation on a new SSD and have all of my applications transferred intact.

  Is it possible to just change the product key of the new package to apply to my existing install without having to reinstall everything?

  Just for the completion of this thread, I decided to pass my final action to get my computer system operating system up-to-date.

  Assuming it was a MSDN product licensed, it was repackaged in a retail store packaging and sold as such.

  Needing my computer back to the status of full support, I bought a 64-bit edition (non - OEM) of Windows 10 full retail on USB media. Is it installed just fine on top of the MSDN license of Windows 7 and allowed me to install without erasing the contents of the disc. My applications and drivers are intact. Windows 10 also all updates installed correctly.

  This allowed me to remedy the situation without having to re - install everything that would have been very time consuming.

  Thank you for your help.

• Change the product key to use COA OEM during the product upgrade

  I found the kkid106 question "can I use a product key Windows 7 OEM to a retail facility.

  But as it is not my particular case, I want to be sure and make the issue.

  The question is on a clean install of Windows 7 Home Retail using Windows 7 OEM Home.  My case is not a clean install.

  I have the following two scenarios:

  Scenario 1. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage.  I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer.  I get a retail upgrade of Windows 8.  I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM with retail upgrade to Windows 8.  Technically I find myself with a computer without a license since the upgrade come from an OEM from another computer.  Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.

  This scenario is correct.  Can I validate the license online or by phone?

  Scenario 2. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage.  I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer.  I have an Upgrade download Windows 8 without product key.  I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM upgrade download to Windows 8.  I find myself with a computer without a license, because the upgrade is unlicensed and comes from an OEM from another computer.  Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.

  This scenario is correct.  Can I validate the license online or by phone?

• I am trying to change my product key and get a 0x800402c9 error when I run the product key Wizard

  Update product key

  I'm trying to change my product key and get a 0x800402c9 error when I run the product key Wizard, so I am unable to enter the product key

  You must acquire the recovery discs right from the manufacturer - if you're lucky, your office don't reinstall it properly and leave you with the recovery partition that would do the same job.

  Read your manual, on the recovery of the system and try the options there.

  If they do not work, you will need to contact it manufacturer and order a set of htem recovery disks.

• How can I change my product key.

  Hi, I had my computer fixed. Its a really old computer and the person who fixed improved many things. He even re-installed Windows XP and makes it seem smoother and faster by adding more ram. I have been using this machine for awhile now, but then when I tried to install new software to the Microsoft Update page online I received a message that says that my windows Machine is not a genuine copy of Windows XP.

  I do not understand why I would get this message that I have been using this computer since 2005 with the same product key... I asked the guy who fixed my computer which key he used, and he used another key that does not match that of the sticker on my computer. Now I want to change the key to the right one and there is no setting for it.

  He told me to reinstall XP with the product key on my computer, but I don't want to do that...

• I need to change the product key

  We work with images here and we have a lot of machines that are identical.  We have activated Windows on the original image and did all the updates before creating the image.  Now, when we use this same image, it is still saved and activated with the initial machine where the image has been created, but the key to use is different because it is another computer with a new Microsoft Windows XP sticker (certificate).  I used the "KeyUpdateTool_enu" downloaded directly from Microsoft and after you enter the new key, it says that it cannot update the key.

  I tried the msoobe /a registry proposed on the site of Micrsoft hack and it says that Windows is already registered.

  So what I want to do is to just change the product with a new key.  The key corresponds to the version of Windows, so this isn't the problem.

  Thanks in advance.

  Its slow but it works as long as you don't have too many computers:

• Product key took flight, I have to change my product to the real key.

  My product key of Windows has been by one theft...

  I need to change my product to the real key. It is requested that my problem please can be resolved.

  Your post makes no sense. Firstly, you say that your product key is stolen. Anyone know how that you're not the thief?

  We cannot help you in this forum. You will need to make a police report, claim on your household insurance and buy a new copy.

• Change the product key

  Hello
  The situation is like this: I have 10 Acer laptops with linux installed on them and 10 Windows XP home sp3.
  I have instaled on laptop and after that I created an image of the hard drive and installed on a computer to second and third.
  The problem is that all 3 computers have the same product keys. I want to change the product key.
  Before I created the image I activated the license and I tried to change, with a few small programs, the product, but keys with no luck. Is there a way to do this without having to reinstall the operating system?
  Thanks in advance.

  Given that you have a valid Windows XP key license and product for each computer, try this:

  1. run the registry editor and change at least one digit of the value of this key:

  HLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT / CurrentVersion / WPAEvents / OOBETimer

  2. click on start > run and enter this command:

  %systemroot%\System32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

  3. Select Yes, I want a phone rep > next > change product key.

  4 type the new product key, and then click Update.

  5. turn on.

  WARNING: Incorrectly editing the registry can damage your system and prevent Windows to start. Before you do, back up your important data, make a restore point and make sure that you know how to repair a damaged system.

  Hi all

  I tried to change the product key on my netbook, because I had to replace the hard drive and I used my recovery disks of the brothers that he has the same exact model. However when I had done restoring the product key is also the same so I wanted to put the original back on.

• change the product key on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit full

  Let's make has a history very very short.  Earlier this year, I bought 4 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate full 64-bit for internet and loaded mrechant on 4 machines (3 upgrades from Vista and 1 new installation) without a hitch.  The software was perfect for a few months until recently Microsoft me notified that the software was not "authentic".  Apparently this software was not allowed to sell in the USA.

  In any case, if I buy a new genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Full 64-bit version, can't I just change the product key to solve this problem?  I know I need to ultimately get 4 copies.

  Thanks in advance!

• How to change the product key because it uses the product key previous I have used before

  Original title: Windows Anytime Upgrade

  I used an upgrade product key to Windows 7 Ultimate edition. However I had problems with it so I want to use another, but whenever I click on it, he's trying to update with the previous key. Is it possible to "get rid of" the existing key out there so I'm able to use my new?

  Hello eemiaturner,

  I usually don't link to the non-microsoft pages, but I couldn't find a 'How To' with screenshots.  The following URL shows how get you to the section change the product within Windows 7 key.

  http://www.sizzledcore.com/2009/10/26/how-to-change-Windows-7-product-key/

  You can also try the command line to change the product key:

  1. Click the Start button, and then type: CMD (in the field "search programs and files" in the Start Menu)
  2. The Start Menu displays "CMD.exe."
  3. Right click on the file CMD.exe and select run as administrator.
  4. In the CMD window, type: slmgr.vbs - ipk
  5. To activate windows after changing the key, type: slmgr.vbs - ato

  I hope this helps.
