• How to find my product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer?

  Anyone know how to find my product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer...  I have several licenses and want to ID what license is on which computer.

  Original title: find product key

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:
  Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
  (He did a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

  and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
  and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features

  To find out which product keys are used:

  Summary

  If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

  Details

  Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

  User level: beginner to Expert

  If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

  Click Start, type: cmd

  Press enter on your keyboard

  

  At the command prompt, type the following command:

  slmgr - dli

  
  

  Press enter on your keyboard

  

  A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

  For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:

  
  

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click on command prompt

  Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

  Press Windows key + R

  Type: CMD

  Press enter on your keyboard

• Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?

  I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?

  To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate.  If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case.  It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read).  If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download).  You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation.  It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.

  I hope this helps.  If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?

  Good luck!

• No product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on laptop second hand. Windows 8 not compatible. What are the options?

  A friend of mine bought a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate laptop second hand on it and it has not been activated, and it is not a product key (even the old one is worn and unreadable). It was originally a XP system and it cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 because it is not compatible. Is it possible that he could buy a product key so that it is activated and genuine? I don't want him to enter in some affliction, and I feel partly responsible because I was the one who told him to do and was not with him to look over the first! I feel really bad, because it doesn't have a lot of money and I should have been there when it was sold. I have a Windows 7 professional full version box, but I really need for my own system. Are there any alternatives? Please give me some GOOD news because I feel really rotten over this. ) :

  Thank you

  BAT

  The only alternative would be to buy a license Windows 7 Ultimate full version or a version complete edition cheaper such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and make a custom installation:

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

  Full version-

  Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

  Apart from that, the only other option would be to contact the computer manufacturer for a Windows XP Recovery disk. Which I doubt they still provide.

• Microsoft Store not to issue new product key for Windows 7 Ultimate, but it is has been fully paid for

  I bought a laptop Sony Viao on 19 October 2012.  This laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional.  I used the ease of upgrade to upgrade Windows at the ultimate addition.

  Since October 19 Microsoft doesn't have to issue a new serial number of the product.  My account status indicates that the order is underway.  It does not help to make a call of support for the call numbers eventually gets cut off, because it seems that the Microsoft call center staff is completely clueless about how to solve my problem.
  They have the audacity to tell me to buy a new update.  When I try to activate I just invited to enter a new product key that the existing key is not valid.
  I'm at the point where I'll try to find a pirated product key, because I WILL NOT BUY a new product key and pay for something that I'm supposed to have.  I put challenge Microsoft to report me to tell them I'll be using a pirated key until they solve this problem.
  For the moment is Microsoft who stole money from me, and I'll just steal it back.
  I tried to get help, but your support infrastructure is just completely and totally unnecessary.

• Accidentally, I installed my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. Is there a possible way to activate Windows with this key?

  Activate Windows 7: Home Premium on professional product key - please help!

  Hello world

  I hope you can help me!

  I have a product key for Windows 7 Home Premium. I downloaded it online when I bought it so that I never received a disc to reformat. Someone at work gave me their CD to reformat.

  After you reformat and reinstall ALL my programs, I went to activate Windows 7 again. Guess what? Turns out that I used Windows 7 Professional to reformat.

  Really, I don't want to go through reformatting and reinstalling everything and don't even know if I'll be able to get my hands on a CD to reformat Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Is there anyway can I still activate my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional? In any case I can exchange my Home Premium product key to a professional one? I love how my computer is currently configured and won't do anything else that just activate my legitimate version of Windows 7!

  Thank you all in advance for your time.

  Ramon

  The only way to do it would be to buy a license for Pro-

  Since you have already apparently a licnese to Home Premium, you could buy an upgrade, and then create a repair install with the new key.

  If you bought a full Pro license, you will be able simply to insert your new key and activate that.

• Windows says I need to activate my product key after motherboard change

  product key

  HELP, I recently changed my motherboard in my dell 490 accuracy now my windows activation is indicating that I need to activate my product key. I have been using this product key for now.need some time to get this problem is resolved.

  Hello

  You cannot change your motherboard without the approval and assistance from Dell

  read this:

  If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer

  an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life

  When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you

  If you did this Dell wihtout support and approval, you have cancelled your vista license

  need to fine product key for windows 7

  Hello Butterflylove1983,

  Give you specific help, to a more detailed description of the problem and the question you have.

  Some questions that you can answer to help out are:

  1. what version of Windows 7 are you running?
  2 what is an OEM version that came with your computer, or a retail version that you bought?  (or a beta version)
  3. is your enabled copy?
  4. you are trying to locate the key that you used to activate Windows 7? Or you try to get a key, so you can activate Windows 7?

  If you have already activated and used a key, you can download a product such as Belarc Advisor and run it to extract the key.  However, if you have installed Windows 7 and do not use a key, you will need to purchase a license in order to activate it.  This can be done through computer vendors such as newegg.com or amazon.com, or even by the Web sites online.

  If you are looking for a 'free' or 'key to crack', then you come to the wrong place to ask.  Since it is a Microsoft forum, noone in their right mind will tell you where to look for pirated keys or ways around the keys.

  Hope that this help give you to a more detailed explanation of your problem and have a nice day :)
  Patrick.

• I have the product key for windows vista home basic 32-bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

  I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  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.

  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

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
