On the license

Hello everyone

I have a question that might sound stupid, but I'm not used to these questions.

I got a laptop as a grant of an Institute, and I found that the license is stuck on the laptop without Windows CD and they said I can get any copy of windows from anywhere and activate it by the activation key which is with me.

So my question is: is it legal to get a copy of anywhere and activate it? and if the answer is to know, what is the solution?

It's legal.

When you got the laptop, they should have you provided a way to reinstall vista.

To get a recovery media to reinstall vista in the future.

Either make the way you just did.

Or:

Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

Hope the above helps you.

See you soon.

  • No sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100

    I lost the sticker with the license number Windows XP for Toshiba NB100. I have an invoice.
    How can I recover the license number?

    Licensed refused to support this topic.

    Hello

    You can't get the license number.
    First the sticker on the bottom of the unit has been a serial OEM key. This key cannot be used and would not work under Win XP installed system costs.

    The point is that Toshiba image which was preinstalled on this laptop has already been activated, which means that this key has been useless.

    I assume that you have not created a disk recovery Toshiba (or flash USB stick) in the past? Right?
    These records would be reinstall the image of Toshiba containing the active Win XP system.

    Well, usually it of possible to order this disc [here | http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] but I think that would be more because of the age of the laptop.

    Solution: you have to buy Win XP with valid serial key.

  • iTunes installs, but only the license agreement is available!

    I just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I'm trying to reinstall my software.

    ITunes has presented a problem. It seems to install & puts an icon on the desktop, but when I click it a box opens with the license agreement. I scrolled through it at the end, but there is no button "I agree", or anything like that. There is no way to proceed in front of her. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Trying to save the file on my PC. I tried to fix it. Tried to install as an administrator. Have rebooted and does it all again. Nothing works.

    Any ideas?

    Just a note: this isn't on a desktop PC, the MacBook Air, I own.

  • Failed to start service to Xcode because of the license agreement

    Since the upgrade to 5.0.15 server, I have met some problems trying to start the service of Xcode, which prevents good start:

    When I tried to select Xcode by clicking Choose Xcode in the server window, after I chose/Applications/Xcode, I saw the message 'preparation to set the server to Xcode' and Xcode was launched. Xcode then displays a message indicating "Xcode requires permission to use accessibility for the user interface controls. "Click on request access to open system preferences add Xcode to the list of allowed applications to control your computer." When I click on Request Access, nothing significant happened. I opened System Preferences > accessibility manually, but did not know where to add to the list of Xcode. I didn't see any list under Interacting > keyboard, mouse and Trackpad, or switch control. None of the other sections seems to contain a list of applications either. After some digging around, I noticed that there is an entry in System Preferences > Security & privacy > privacy for Xcode for assistance that has been disabled. Check the box seems to have accomplished the goal here (fingers crossed).

    Server, and then displays the message "you must accept the terms of the licenseXcode. Restart Xcode and accept the software license agreement or choose another version of Xcode'.» When I launched Xcode, however, he showed not the license agreement. Delivering the xcodebuild-license sudo and sudo xcodebuild-license accepts commands in a terminal window do not appear to do this in the right way, because the server continues to display this message every time I chose the Xcode application.

    There must be some reason Xcode does not display the license agreement when I run the application, any server insists I did not accept the agreement despite having accepted several times.

    Any ideas?

    Potentially a bug known, according to the affected versions.   (Look for the license in the Xcode release notes).

    If the approach in the release notes does not work and If this existing thread does not work...

    .. then see if the brute force approach works...

    Turn off of Xcode,.app services.    Xcode remove the system.  Reset.  Reinstall Xcode, a new download (current) or a (current) version stored on another local system, launch Xcode, accept the license.  Then configure Server.app and see if he's happy now.

  • Where the license DRM for music files are stored

    Hello.

    I received an email from moduslink yesterday, they will ship vista in max. 3 weeks ;-) I wonder when I'll get it? But I found something else, I'd like to know:

    on the laptop with Windows XP pre-installed, there was these pre-installed music files (shared documents folder) with different music etc..

    I copied these files on my desktop-pc computer and (of course) the music is not played due to the absence of DRM-rights... (btw: I really hate this kind of thing DRM!)
    WindowsMediaPlayer 10MS on my desktop pc tries to download these DRM files, but cannot get a connection to a server. Probably because, I suppose, the right DRM of these songs is only stored locally somewhere on the laptop.

    On the laptop I have MediaPlayer 11 installed (I didn't want it, but I clicked OK for an update of WMP10 and did not know that it is just the upgrade to 11...).

    OK, with 11 WMediaPlayer, I guess, I can't save my license... files? ! ?

    Are the license files of these music titles stored somewhere on the hard drive? and where?
    Therefore, it would be best just to copy these files from my desktop pc license.

    I don't know if there is the same music-files included with Toshiba-Express-Vista-set at level - Programm (?)
    , so I want to store (including DRM files) on the desktop pc and then paste them to the laptop.

    you have a few tipps?
    Thank you, goodbye, kai

    Hello

    To my knowledge the DRM files has nothing to do with the operating system. The mp3 files must run on XP and Vista, but you know...
    I m not a music license expert ;) and can only suggest

    However, I studied a little on the net and it seems that the DRM files are stored
    in Windows 2000 and Windows XP in this folder:
    drive: \Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM

    In Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition (Me)
    drive: \Windows\DRM

    If you can't find the DRM folder, the exact location of the DRM folder on your hard disk is stored in the following entry in the Windows registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DRM\DataPath

    That's all what I found, but if you want to get more info on the DRM please check this Microsoft Knowledge base article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/810422

    Good luck

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

  • Can the License Manager load the computer license first, instead of the license based on users?

    We have several machines in the lab with licenses computerized on them and a number of technicians who have licenses based on users. When he signed from time to time as themselves, instead of the generic service account, a technician of the License Manager fits on the machine their user account. Not a problem until they're trying to connect to their own PC again LabVIEW and they get the trial of 14 days notice period.

    Is there a way the License Manager looking for the license to the computer first instead of the user license?

    Thanks for any help.

    Joe

    Hey Joe,

    In the license file on the license server, you may be able to manually change the tag "sort" in the file to change the order in which VLM withdraws licenses. Licenses are checked in descending (2, then 3, then 4, etc.). As a general rule, your license file is set up in a default order, but in special cases like this, it may be advantageous to change the order. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open the license file with a text editor (such as Notepad)

    2. search for the tag "flows out". For example, the entry "VLM_Core" will sort tag value will appear as "sort = first". Do not change this value. VLM_Core must always be the first.

    3. change the value of sorting tag for the license to the computer named to a value less than the value of sorting tag for the named user license. (for example 'sort = 2"for named computer and 'sort = 3" to the named user).

    4 save the file and reinstall the license.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

  • Rock KING how to ignore the outside frame of the license plate

    Hello. I'm doing an OCR program to detect the license plate numbers. However, I am having this problem where I specify the return on investment for OCR recognize my characters.

    Otherwise the program cannot read the characters correctly due to the presence of an outdoor setting on the image (probably OCR is read as a single character).

    Operations I can do to fix this?

    Photo 1: This is when the return on investment is not specified

    Photo 2: After the return on investment is selected manually

    Thank you.

    Hello

    In fact the answer to this question varies based on the other terms of your system. But first, I think you need to localize the position and angle of the plate.

    If we act with the image you shared, you can search the frame of the plate (shape of rectangle) using match game model/geometric model functions, while ignoring the characters inside. After that, you can set a benchmark using the position and angle of it. Then you can select your return on investment and make the system work.

    It's just a suggestion, look at the image above, you should find your way, given all the conditions.

  • disable the license dialog box

    We have just installed LV 2012 on 85 machines and checked the box in the license dialog box that says do not show this message.

    but without fail, it keeps coming back every day because we have not authorized the Application Builder (and don't want).

    How get rid of this very annoying screen?

    It happened when we installed LV 2011 but now it's even worse because after checking the box (AGAIN) to display the Panel, it is said that we can extend the evaluation period, if we want (probably for the Application Builder which we do not want).

    Finally, after the expiry of the period of 30 days for App Builder evaluation I imagine it will go away, but it's very inconvenient in the meantime.

    Use OR License Manager to disable the evaluation for the application builder, as shown. the box next to components that are in the evaluation is 1/2 yellow rather than green you see here:

  • Designating the license number of the window?

    Hello

    I had a problem with my Lenovo all-in-one (C series), and I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows. I have to download a Windows8.1 on the net, and then I'm going to need my license key. Those who are usually a sticker somewhere, but I don't see no sticker with a key Windows, anywhere on the computer or on the packaging. Anyone know how to find the license number?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Cyril

    Good day and welcome to the community.

    If your machine came with Windows 8/8.1, factory-installed, the license key is embedded in the UEFI/BIOS. As long as you install the same version (Home to home;) or Pro for Pro, the installation process should automatically pick the key.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards.

  • How to get the license information on VxWorks?

    Wind River requires a few details of the license before allowing access to their programming documents. Presumably, the purchase of a controller for crio running VxWorks includes a license for the operating system. How can I get information on this license?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hello Chris,

    When you buy a goal based on VxWorks you get only one deployment license, which means that you can deploy to the VxWorks target, but you don't have access to the support or documentation.

    Access to their programming documents requires a development license, usually coupled with Wind River VxWorks Workbench.

    See you soon.

  • How to completely uninstall a computer labview and avoid to occupy the license

    Hello

    Usually a labview can be installed on three computers. Now I already installed all and will install in another computer. So I need to uninstall one of the three and want to know how can I completely uninstall the labview. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Use License Manager TO deactivate the license.  Will release the database entry of NO, so that you are OK to activate the license even on a new machine (can't really uninstall LabVIEW - the absence of activated license will prevent the use).  As I remember reading the license agreement, you can do up to 4 times per year.

    If you do not have access to the old machine (that is, because it fell from the roof or something like that) call OR service and they can manually remove activation.
