• HP ENVY Sleekbook 6 PC - C8B53PA #ABG - OEM Activation

  Hi all

  I have a new laptop listed above and I am trying to install Windows 8 Professional so I can attach it to a field.

  The problem is that whenever I have install from media Windows 8 Professional (copied on a USB key), it is automatically installed and active as the core of Windows 8, which cannot join a domain.  At no time invited me to enter my product key Windows 8 Professional.

  I think it's due to data OEM Activation 3.0 is stored in the BIOS or somewhere similar.

  How disable Activation OEM (or remove these activation data) so I can install Win8 Pro?

  See you soon,.

  Have you tried to do an upgrade within Windows 8 to join professional?

  Go to the start-up and upgrade research.
  Select the category of settings and open "Get more features with a new edition of Windows".
  Here, select already have a product key and enter your product key of Windows 8.

  As long the COMPUTER service company allows upgrades to produce, then this should unlock Windows 8 Professional using your product key.

  To the best of my knowledge, HP does not actively block upgrade to the operating system. They may require the original OS to be handed on for purposes of support, but the system is up to you to any software you want on it. A COMPUTER service with a domain policy would be the only factor limiting.

  Let me know what happens.

• HP 350 G1: 8.1 Windows OEM Activation not working anymore?

  Hello

  After asking here on the forum about the restore a deleted partition, what issue has been resolved. We are facing another problem.

  My sister has recently infected laptop computer at a point, it has become UNUSABLE! Kept complete HARD drive, she had more than 400 GB remaining (girl stuff, unlike the guys, they don't download a lot of things); but all of a sudden the drive HARD filled with 400GO remaining at 5 GB

  And... the computer is VERY SLOW at the beginning, it used to take a few seconds to start, but it took almost 5 minutes to start when it has been infected. We tried many antivirus software, the laptop came with a preinstalled (can't remember which), beside that, we tried other software Antivirus, Avast, Kaspersky, Eset and Avira.

  Most of them don't have a scan of C: / drive with an error message such as "unable to scan the c drive".

  Our best option was to reinsert the system.

  I first backep keys of Activation OEM (supposed to be encrypted in the BIOS). I found useful tutorials online which allowed me to show how activation key is beinf used, so I just copied it in a safe place, just in case something goes wrong. I didn't not use a third-party software to view the key! Just Windows tools. A third-party application can not be VERY trustfull in terms of license keys.

  I then downloaded a genuine 8.1 Windows Pro MSDN Web site with a product key.

  The installation went without problems, but when I rebooted I noticed that Windows has not been activated!

  I tried to use the saved key more early, unfortunately it does not work, windows said I can't use this key with this edition of windows.

  

  My questions are:

  -Can someone tell me WHY I can't use OEM Activation on any edition of windows?

  -Is it possible to make it work on all editions anyway?

  -A complete reinstallation of version 8.1 of Windows non-Pro is automatically enabled by the BIOS?

  -If I buy an activation key for windows pro 8.1, this key somehow will interfere with that in the BIOS?

  Thank you

  It has been activated automatically after I installed a version of windows not pro 8.1.

  Now I understand how it works

• EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

  Greetings!

  I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

  I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

  I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

  The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

  The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

  I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

  Any advice would be welcome!

  The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

  And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

  Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
  
  Good luck

• A clean reinstall will remove the OEM Activation code on my computer?

  If a Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade activation code has been used on a computer, a few months earlier, could set up a re-use of the drive of the person and the activation code to do a cleaning on the same computer? Or would be the clean install remove the Activation Code defined on this computer?

Or would be the clean install remove the Activation Code defined on this computer?

   

  I'm not quite sure what you mean.

  An upgrade installation effectively removes all the evidence that it was the previous operating system. If the previous license was an OEM one, it remains valid for this computer, in case you want to revert to the original OS.

   

  If the previous operating system was a retail one, it is part of the upgrade and can be used either in another installation on this machine or on another machine, unless the upgrade is removed (i.e. formatted), date on which the license is released and made available again.

• 32-bit Windows 8 Pro OEM activation using a 64-bit OEM key activation - is it possible?

  I have one still to be put in service oem 64-bit of windows Pro 8 copy and I was eager to install the 32-bit version on an old pc running Windows XP and with only 4 GB of memory. The 64-bit activation key can be used for this installation of 32-bit version?

  I downloaded an iso of the equivalent of 32 bits, it installed OK but when I tried to activate it using the 64-bit activation key I got the message "this product key does not work. Is it because the key provided with the 64-bit oem disk is usable only on a 64-bit install (unlike the commercial versions non - oem where the same key works for 64-bit and 32 - bit)- or is the invalid key for some other reason?

  64-bit disc is titled HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 and the 32-bit version, I downloaded HRM_CCSA_X86FRE_EN-US_DV5

  Product keys are not specific architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), the problem is, some keys do not work in some channels.

  A touch of detail will not work with OEM media and vice versa OEM key will not work with the media to detail.

• Windows OEM Activation 8 - HELP!

  I have an OEM version of windows 8 current enforcement on my new pc that I built myself. I read that winofws 8 if active once u enter the product key during the installation. I did this and everytime I turn on my pc it says to activate windows. I click on it to go into the settings and turn it on and it does connect, it just says: "in waiting to connect." My pc is connected to the internet. I also read that u cannot activate OEM by phone and receive no assistance by phone. I don't even know if I can receive support here. So, what should I do to activate windows? fear that it is being "low-functionality mode" after 30 days. Help

  This is not true, that the software can also be activated by phone:

  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.

• Two computer Activation Limited by Suite or title?

  I wonder if the activation of the two computer limited is thereafter or if we title?

  Here's the scenario:

  I have three computers.  One is my main computer to do all kinds of work, the entire suite would be on this one here.  However, I have two other more dedicated computers.  One is about printing and data, while the other focuses on the web and screen.  Is it possible to have everything on the main computer, while having my second installation of Illustrator on a secondary computer and Dreamweaver secondarily installed on yet another computer?

  I guess not, but still need for clarification.

  Thank you

  Hi Esaeonyc2,

  It's only two computers, activation applies to all products included in the suite. It's the same if you purchased a perpetual product suite.

  Hello!

  I have laptop Packard Bell EasyNote TV11HC 33124g50mnks. When I bought it, it has a pre-installed OEM Windows 8.

  Can I use Windows 8.1 rather Windows 8 by this OEM license?

  Please get in touch with support technique Packard Bell

• Windows 7 Home Premium error Code 0xC004E003, trying to key OEM activation

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop that is about 3 years now and last month that the laptop hard drive had crashed, with whom i coudnt restore using my backup media.

  I changed the hard drive and knowing full well that I would need to install a new operating system, I bought the windows 7 Home premium full license DVDs. I have installed windows on the hard disk with no real probems but as I tried to activate the product key, but I get the error 0xC004E003 Code.

  I tried to find a way to activate by phone but it does not have this as an option, instead, it gives an option to call Toshiba. The warranty on the laptop was completely outdated, but I noticed that in Control Panel-> system-> system security that the product ID is xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx.

  What I have to write off the record that I use is more an OEM version of windows? If so how is this done? I would have thought that the new product key would have replaced the OEM version?

  IM new on these forums, please take it easy on me :) If you need more information, ask me, I tried my best to give the events cronological order.

  Cheers in advance

  Thank you for your help on this confusing subject, I do not understand how it may not be true with all holographic stickers on the DVD and a COA product key is looking for real?
