• Vista - product key not accepted when I type in, what should I do now?

  When I try to use Office or Power Point, I asks me to enter the product key. I do it after reading it on the sticker on the base of my laptop, but it's not accept it? Any ideas what I need to do? I'm short of attempts, I can do. Thanks for your help.
  Harry.

  I believe that the key to product based on the portable computer is for Vista. It is not for the office.

  My laptop came with a trial version of Office that I had to buy a license online to continue using it after a few months.

• Should what product key I use when installing an operating system.

  Original title: tyrone needs help.

  my product key sticker is on the work of microsoft more cd cover, its the only one I can find on my disk or computer. Is this the one I have to reinstall everything? I don't know what works most is 2008. Can someone tell me?

  Hello

  The product key to reinstall the operating system is on a sticker on the case of your computer and contains 25 digits divided into 5 groups of 5 digits.

  With a PC, it is on the side, at the top of the page or the box.

  With a laptop, it is on the bottom or in the battery compartment.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If you can our find it, read this.

  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.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  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.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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.

  Windows Xp reinstall the product key invalid pop up

  OK, so here starts my road of woes. First of all, I got a problem with a driver updated on a COMPAQ DeskPro ENS P866. It complements removed all the sounds of this PC. I tried every fix on every techie forum goes without result... including uninstalling, resettlement (thanks to automatic and manual methods). Stop and start services, Fix IT, restores... etc etc. You name it I tried it. I knew that these drivers were on the original Windows installation, so I decided to bite the bullet and do a complete Tassel and take all the patches from its state of origin (desperate that Yes). OK so I took screen prints of my information on the product and information system before you start... I started to follow the XP Reinstall instructions by the support site for windows... and everything seemed to be going great until I arrived at the main screen of the product. I put in my 25 char key and got the pop up "the product Id you entered is not valid. The CD I have, was not a copy retail it was a copy of illigit. However, I bought a license real profit to perform this legal copy... then this could explain why its causing me problems? Otherwise why the * it will not accept my key bought. I checked then double I indexed in as it was printed... and I am really frustrated. Ive gone 1 speaker works do not, no noise, no computer/XP... I tried the Chat Support and they confirmed my product key is still valid... and is the version correct etc etc. But thensaid I need to call a number paying to discuss further. I realize XP is under extended warranty... They want to pay my 46 + VAT + extras before they will even speak with me... at all. So what now? Product ID is 7558881-76487-084-22948 Microsoft Windows XP Professional... updated originally to NT/2000. The sticker on the unit refers to the earlier version HELPPPPP!

  My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.

• Hard drive is dead, it was loaded with a play version of XP, I have the product key but don't have XP disc and need to get a

  Hello

  My title says about the history. My hard drive (XP) died and the local tech confirmed is not a replacement value (it's an old machine).

  I have a MacBook and that you have loaded Parallels on it so that I can run Windows. Now I want to install XP on the MacBook, but I don't have the installation disc.

  1. is there somewhere I can download it from?

  2. once I have it loaded, my product key will work?

  3 anything else I should be aware of when to load XP on a MacBook?

  Thank you

  
  

  Thanks for the reply.

  I bought the laptop used on ebay from a company that has sold thousands of refurbished machines. I know that she buys lots of companies that no longer need them, wipe data, reinstalling Windows and then sell them. Installing XP is legitimate, because the laptop has a certificate of Authenticity on the back Microsoft.

  So I suspect that the Windows installation is not related to the motherboard.

  Other thoughts?

  Thanks again.

  It is quite possible that XP has been reinstalled on your computer using an OEM disc "generic" as well as your product key from the computer.  However, the product key itself is linked to the motherboard.

  For example, my son recently bought a used computer from a friend.  The friend had removed the original hard drive and replaced it with a smaller.  The computer has been a mess, but that's another story.  No installation disk came with the computer, however, it doesn't have the product key on the back of the case.  I replaced the hard drive with one more great I had on hand and then used an OEM disc 'generic' to reinstall XP, which works perfectly with the product key of the computer.  However, this computer must die, product key can be moved to any other computer.  The product key is the original computer motherboard.

  In short, a product key of your laptop if it is by the OEM product key, will not work on another computer.  No matter how legitimate the software's product key will not work on another computer, it is not transferable.  Product keys for the full retail version of Windows can be moved to another computer; However, the key to product can only be used on one computer at a time.  If the computer in question is delivered with Windows XP preinstalled, it is extremely unlikely that nothing else than the version the manufacturer OEM has been used.

• Software Windows 7 was a fake and the product key does not work on this version

• Trying to enter the product key

  I entered the product key correctly but when I hit the enter button its not available so I can't do anything. What can I do? It's not even say whether its wrong or not the option to continue or enter is not available when I get in there.

  Hello Nicole Hollins.

  The product key on the bottom of the computer is for the operating system of the computer not for an Office product.
  Some computers come preinstalled with a trial version of Office that is usually 60 to 90 days. However, if you wish to continue using
  an Office product, you need to buy Office 2007 from a store online or in a retail store. to get the product key code. It will be on the box or the CD cover.

  To buy online, you can click here for a link to the Microsoft Store: http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Office-Compare-Office-2010-Suites/category/213
  They will e-mail your product key.

  I hope this helps.
