No results in search for "anytime upgrade".
Improved a Dell XPS in Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium about two years ago. Now, I want to go back to Windows 7 Professional. Bought the upgrade package, but cannot pass through step 3: look for "anytime upgrade". The computer's search comes back with no results. Now what?
UPDATE... UPDATE... UPDATE.
I took my open software to Office Depot for a refund. A clerk here offered a few suggestions that I have not in this forum. He said to go to the Control Panel, look for the button "view by" and select "large icons". Lo and behold... it was Windows Anytime Upgrade even if a search could not find. I clicked on the choice to enter my upgrade key and 10 minutes later, I am running Windows 7 Professional.
I do only this last message to give this information to JW Stuart and HOD17 in the hope that it can help others. I don't know why you guys do not know this information and Office clerks deposit made... and I don't like. Hope you read this and maybe go.
Good luck and thanks again.

Limit the number of results when searching for users?
Hi all.
The following rule works very well:
But in the production environment, we want to limit the number of results to a manageable level, say 200 users. I tried resultLimit and LignesMax in the stock option plan, but nothing helped.<invoke name='toList'> <invoke name='listObjects'> <ref>context</ref> <s>User</s> <map> <s>conditions</s> <list> <new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'> <s>DEFERREDTASKDATE</s> <s>notPresent</s> <s></s> </new> </list> </map> </invoke> <s>name</s> </invoke>
Pointers to help me in the right direction?
Best regards
StefanThe JavaDoc for AttributeCondition does not list these operators or conditions.
You will need to add conditions to your query that limits the response by other means.
I don't know what your user name looks like, but for us, we have an ID for each account that you could put limits to
i.e.
UserID > current_place and userid< current_place="" +="">
that, if the user name is a number, would limit the answer to a maximum of limit, but if no user is in the meantime it would obviously be zero.
the alternative is to create your own rule to query the repository on your own and use the resulting data to browse normal calls.
It's a bit heavy if you use attributes that are not available at hand, only existing in the xml BLOBI also think that you could make your own javaclass and do the same thing, but I'm just not proficent in java as to who try here: P

Windows anytime upgrade, the product key is not valid
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.
Is the installed version must be exactly the same with the WAU product key pack? I think of my installed Professional is an advanced version of Home Premium. Why not the product key be compatible?
Any contribution is appreciated!

Failure of Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade on the new computer laptop
Hello
We just bought a new Asus laptop that came with Windows 7 Starter as standard.
A week later, we bought an Express Upgrade Home Premium 7.
The upgrade has failed at first time around; following the advice of the community, I tried the following:
Check all updates;
Installed the CheckSUR tool fix;
Disabled user account control;
Disabled antivirus;
The hard drive to find errors;
Profiled selective startup in MSConfig.
In the end, I got was a "invalid product key" - which it is not.
Windows displays as entered, and I have SP1.
As a last resort, I have reset the specifications of the factory and tried the Express upgrade as the first thing on the PC 'cost '. Upgrade failed after 25 minutes.
In the very final resort, I reset all the solutions above workaround to the specifications of the factory again, re-directed (except by disabling the antivirus because I have not reinstalled which again - there is only Windows Firewall between me and the world wide). Update failed.
I just tried to disable the Windows Firewall and tried the upgrade - my product key verified program, was asked to accept the terms, told me it would be as little as 10 minutes - but now it's to say the upgrade button that I entered is a version of Windows that does not work with the Express upgrade... but it IS an Express upgrade.
It took nine days so far - please you have the magic answer? Thank you waiting...!
You have already done most of what I have posted, but it can't hurt to read and review as it is possible that you missed.

the key is a W7 starter upgrade to W7 Home premium. bought the Comet, unfortunately.
The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
What happens if I lose my product key?
If you lose your product key, you can return towww.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
orHere are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-restore-a-backup-from-an-external-hard-drive-in-Windows-7/
-------------------
The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
-Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
-HP use F9 on most of its systems
-Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
-Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow-Dell uses F12
In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
