Notice to activate Windows.

I've owned my computer for more than 10 years.  Purchased from an independent dealer who is no longer in the busines (bought specially for video editing.  Computer was shipped with Windows XP installed.  Now, I get a notice to activate my windows program.  Why do I get a notice like that after 10 years owneship?  Cannot find the activation key.  How to solve this problem?  If I ignore the notice, what will happen?

I see nothing wrong with the report except that it asks for activation. This can happen after a significant hardware upgrade, or if the system has been affected by the malware files or change file or ill-judged registry problems.

Try Internet activation - if this fails, first use telephone activation.

If this fails, then try using telephone activation again, but this time is NOT an answer when the ansafone asks which service you require - it should force a live operator to pick up that can solve your problem.

    I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

    XP has been activated years ago? now, they say both need equipment to enable the garbage.

    There is nothing wrong with your report that I can see - so you should not receive not authentic or notice of activation.

    The notification came at one time and then disappear later?

    If Yes, then it is probably due to a "race condition", where two programs or more are fighting for the possession of a file--in this case, it prevents the system WGA, checking the status of the operating system, resulting in the notification. A plus later re - test then clears the air.

    The addition of SH Devolo may have been the straw that broke the back - is the amount of RAM on the system? XP SP2 requires at least 512 MB for a reasonable speed, so if your system has less, I'd say you are trying to upgrade if possible.

    Reading these threads, I noticed that many threads mentions a copy of Windows by computer - but I have 2 computers with the same copy of windows 7 on it. My understanding is that a copy of windows is associated with a single person, not every computer that person has, as long as its for personal and non-commercial use.

    I don't remember exactly where I got this idea, it may have been the person who built the first time, my office about 4 years ago, but nevertheless I've always had a desktop and a laptop with the same copy of windows inside. I also experienced a few computers since I no longer use, but I still installed the same copy on the computer replacement without any problem.

    What should I do? I have to buy a new copy of Windows? Or should I report somehow old computers that had the copy in it but is now trash?

    Hello

    Operating system Windows licenses: license = one Installation.

    ________________________________

    And this rule also applies:

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), or OEM System Builders license, this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    The OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc. machines and OEM System Builders license) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    _______________________________

    If it is a retail license and transfer it to you and it is installed on a machine, you may need to follow these steps.

    If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

  • Can't activate windows 7 by phone or internet

    I recently reinstalled windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition on my laptop lenovo that my cpu was upward and I had tried everything but cela to try to fix without success. In any case, cpu problems fixed but I noticed that my edition of windows 7 has not been activated. "When I went to turn it on with the code that gave me it came with the error code ' 0xc004e003. And before someone suggests that I type ' slui.exe 4' in the search box and press on enter, I don't get the option of phone.» The only options I get are:
    Buy a new product key online,
    Type a different product key,
    Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem (and it does that open windows help and support which is useless).
    It's frustrating because I bought this laptop News 6 months ago and I won't have to shell out 100 extra pounds to activate windows when I have a genuine copy (or at least im sure I have).

  • can't activate windows 8

    I've done the research and notice that you can activate win 8 on the first PC you installed cannot install on multiple PCs. So here's the microsoft problem! I installed the OS on my old computer for two weeks only; I noticed that it is slow, so I create a new computer and I wanted to install on it. I don't sell the old computer, it'll just be recycled or whatever. If you tell me that we spend hundreds on a BONE that cannot be reused or relocated? Is this a joke? What happens if our hard drives failed on us? If we lose not only the hard disk, but hundreds on the windows OS?

    Here's an idea:

    Since we have signature options in windows with our email, you guys might associate the to our e-mail account activation key or a special account. Once connect us, windows recognize the user as the owner of the software and activate windows on the computer. This means that we have also other keys (s) software such as office and windows 7, to be associated with the e-mail account or a special account, we create with microsoft - which will allow the owner to use it on a new computer or reuse in the newly reinstalled PC. for those who want to sell the computer, they can remove the key to their account and sell the new user (account).

    If it is a retail license, you can still transfer to another computer as long as it is removed from the previous computer it was installed on. Activation of the phone just use:

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4


    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Envy dv7: cannot activate Windows 10

    A customer brought me a computer laptop dv7 want who came originally with Windows 8.0. He said that he had updated to 8.1 of Windows, then Windows 10. He wanted to transfer the machine to a parent, so doing a factory restore to 8.0. He brought to get me back to Windows 10. To save time, I did a clean install of Windows 10 and he pointed out activated. Now, a few days later he said that it is NOT enabled. After talking with Microsoft, I was told that I had to get the license key Windows 8.0 original of the motherboard anchored an entry like the license key to activate Windows 10. I have no idea how to get that key and reading that I've done, HP is not likely to be helpful on this. I even tried Windows 8.0 and 8.1 OEM key I have in stock, but they work no.  I'm open to suggestions and/or assistance on this.

    OK, finally found a utility called RWEverything that will allow to recover the built-in license key. Windows 10 still wouldn't turn on, so had to communicate with Microsoft. With this key, they have been able to check and activate Windows 10 for my client.

  • Activate Windows 7-> WIndows-> Windows 10 8.1?

    I have a X 220 five years, which was running WIndows 7 Pro. I used a USB recovery to reset the machine, intending to have a clean win7 installation so that I could upgrade to Win10. I tried the restore on board, but it did not work. So I used a USB recovery I had created a year ago. For reasons I don't understand, it installed Windows 8.1 (I think I was using the right USB, but in any case, I can't go back now). 8.1 Windows wouldn't let me activate; the product key from MSFT on a sticker is for Win 7 and is generated by an OEM that does not recognize the site Web of MSFT. But I got messages from upgrade to Windows 10, which was what I wanted. The upgrade went very well, but now I have this permanent message to activate Windows, and of course it does not accept my product key Windows 7. So: What should I do now? Thank you.

    You may need to buy windows 7 Lenovo recovery media, put win 7, but they were mine, I'll try to call Microsoft to try first to activate by phone.
