• I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

  I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

  Thank you

  If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

  You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

  If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

  However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

• Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?

  Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?  Or can I use a disc that I have to restore the windows on a second laptop and activate it with a different product key?  It is not a question to find out how many users I can put in place, but whether the disk and product key are mutually exclusive.

  As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work perfectly, no exclusivity.

• Record and the product key of Windows 8

  Unfortunately, my husband has one person to put up my new PC for me and I do not know now what is my windows product key and whether or not it is registered.  How will I know (the PC came with Windows pre-installed).

  If it was built by an OEM System Builder, then the product key must have been connected to the computer on a certificate of authenticity. If this isn't the case, it could be on the envelope that came with your PC. Otherwise, you must contact the manufacturer and ask him if he is or consider purchasing a product key for your installation.

  How to buy additional keys:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click System

  Click on see details in the Windows Activation

  Click on the link: buy Windows to another computer

  http://www.Windows.com/buy

  Yes, you may be prompted to go through the installation routine with just the web installer of 5 MB, but you don't actually have to download, simply to purchase and the product key will be presented to you in the Upgrade Wizard (you also a copy is sent to your email address).

• Re: PowerPoint on Vista and the product key

  Today, I bought a new pc with Vista professional all installed, opening an application to view some work on PowerPoint, asked me the product key. The product key for Vista is on the bottom of the laptop so I jumped this! It is saying that it is incorrect?

  Can anyone help?

  As the product is installed on the laptop (nine) I have no case etc... so why the sticker of authenticity is at the bottom of the pc. Trying to open the file in PowerPoint in the free trial version (as has been applied to no product key) the file opened, but showed a blank presentation.

  Is there someone who knows something about this and could help?

  Thanks for your time, x

  Hi Yvette

  As said above the laptop was not delivered with Microsoft Office and you will not be able to use the power point if you don't have a key!
  The Toshiba does not provide all the keys for MS Office, but only for the MS works.

  If you want to use MS Office (Word, Powerpoint, excel, etc.) then you will have to buy an original CD!

• How can I reinstall windows after new HD, but don't have windows or recovery discs, I have valid Vista COA and the product key

  I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?

  Hi again,

  You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.

  As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this

  The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.

  I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.

  The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.

  When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.

  Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.

  See you soon.

• I lost two of my windows vista product key numbers! What can I do?

  I lost two numbers of the product key sticker under my toshiba laptop! How can I restore it

  Hello

  Contact toshiba and ask them to send you recovery disks vista to reinstall the operating system as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  partition disk and restore from recovery is a recovery from the manufacturer software and normally does not require a product key of your hand entry

  Contact Toshiba and ask about it
