My CD key is for Xp, but I got a free upgrade to Vista, how can I get a new CD key now its saying that my Windows is not genuine?
I have a HP Pavilion laptop, which came with XP on it and XP key on the back sticker. However, when I bought it, it came with a free Vista Upgrade, that I used. Now several years later it says that my copy of Vista is not authentic, but I can't get the CD key to verify that the CD key is for XP, not Vista.
Any ideas of how to fix cela, or should I just try it backward on a XP machine with old code?
Thank you!

I lost my product key to my disc of windows 7 Home premium how can I get a new
Microsoft recommends that you only buy a new product key if you have lost your Windows 7 product key.
Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
Full version (retail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive
Upgrade version (detail):
-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
-require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
-Expensive, but less expensive full version
OEM System Builder version:
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

How can I get a new Windows 7 product key for free?
I am a person who has the life out of a well-being which means I have very limited funds for money to buy a new product key for my windows 7. Now to say that I bought my laptop on the street market, and lucky me a friend bought me a new hard drive form my computer and I don't know what or how he got windows7 here but he did. With someone who doesn't have a credit card and life out of $500 a month, how can I get a new product key, which I can't afford and so I am unable to work
Please if anyone can help it would be so appreciated.TylerThis means that you must install the original version of Windows shipped with your computer if you are not Windows 7. Otherwise, you will need to set up or ask a family friend or a member of the family gift that you register.
If you know a student, you could ask to purchase a license at price reduced for you.

How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?
Hello
There are several potential issues at stake here.
First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.
Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side. If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."
Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key. You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.
Hope that helps.

I have never installed my MS when I bought my PC and now it will not accept the product key, how can I get a new key
What "MS"?
Microsoft is a company, not a product.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, pleasePlease also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you a) in the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but does NOT quote the key on the sticker!

I bought adobe dc - annual fees - have an order number but no serial number... . How can I get it?
I am working on mac book pro$
Creative cloud does not use a serial number and creative cloud subscribers for not having any serial number associated with their programs. Creative cloud subscribers use their adobe ID to activate their programs.
Download and install the desktop creative cloud application (after signing with your adobe - the same as that used to pay for your creative cloud subscription ID), https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Open the office application (a shortcut will be on your desktop) > click applications, and then select the programs you want to install.
the desktop application gives you access to cs6, cc, cc 2014 and cc apps for 2015. and probably more in the future.
If you already have the cc desktop application and you need to update your adobe id, log out and then back to your client application using the adobe id to pay for your subscription in cc: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
