Original XP Pro activation key need
I had my house computer lock up when installing a windows update and my sister in law pulled the power cord to stop it. When I restarted I got no start menu or other items on my desk. I used Acronis as a backup, for a few years so I thought I was safe make a collection with her. Instead of check my backup file for corruption, I just started the process, and in the meantime, I've eliminated my existing operating system. I can't find my OS drive and wonder if I buy another disk XP Pro, can I get my Microsoft activation number to use the same?
Hi Weyrleader2000,
Thanks for posting. You will need your XP key to reinstall somehow. Microsoft cannot provide you with a new key if you have lost.
I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

Help please - recover Vista Activation key
The two HARD drives on my son Jonathan HP laptop recently became corrupt and then dead beyond resuscitation (according to two disc test utilities).
A few years ago, we bought the laptop for him. I removed the wrong drive and formatted backup drive (because there are corrupted files), and since it does not create the rescue disks, I installed my old copy of Vista Home Premium 64. The computer that I installed initially this O.S. has since been wiped and a new copy of Windows 7 was installed.
The sticker with the original serial number / activation key # on the back of the laptop of Jonathan carried through beyond being readable. However, the serial number of HP is still readable.
1. How can I retrieve the original key to the original installation of Vista 64 Home Premium?
1. work this key with the installation of my Vista installation disc anymore?
2. If an answer to Q1 is not available, can I use my older disk of Vista 64 Home Premium laptop of Jonathan key successfully can continue to receive vital updates?
3. If the answers to both 1 & 2 are negative, Microsoft will release a new key/activation code, and if so, where should I go to acquire it?
Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Hello
Microsoft will not replace your lost on an HP machine pre-installed product key
support comes from HP for this computer not microsoft
If a computer came preinstalled vista dell HP etc it is selected as an OEM license and is linked to the original computer it is installed on and is not transferable
When the computer dies dies of windows with her license
He bought a retail vista license yourself it is transferable
but you must still know the product key
and it can only be installed on a computer at any time
but as you never said what kind of vista licenses you have read the above and decide what licenses you have
and if the hard drive has been wiped and the product key sticker is unreadable we cannot help you recover a product key
If your son's computer came with preinstalled vista application to HP you send for her recovery disks
normally is not required during their use product key entry
BUT ask 1 HP

Because I lost my original Vista Business CD & key, are there opportunities to get the key from your please side?
Thank youHello
If I understand you correctly, Vista Business has been bought and installed by yourself and not preinstalled on your laptop when you bought it.
If the above is correct and the laptop is still running you can use Key Finder programs to get the product key:
Here are two of these programs:

You can also borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed.
The product key determines which 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:

Pro (Mac) to WIndows activation key 8.
Hello
I installed Windows 8 Pro on my iMac year last through Parallels Desktop and I put the key here... And a few months, I just want to use Windows 7 because it is easier for my programming software. So, I remove the Windows 8 Pro, I planned to use Bootcamp (found it faster), and start a clean installation of Windows 7.
And suddenly, yesterday I think using Windows 8 Pro for a reason any on my MacBook Air. After installing it, I try to put the key, but it says that it has been used. So I think:
1. I thought that I already remove my Windows 8 Pro on iMac (I remove it without clean uninstall, I restored my iMac; which means that it is just a blink of an eye-gone).
2. How can I use my key again once rather than buy a new one? Is it still possible?
So my question is: do I need to uninstall the activation key for the iMac? As I don't even know if the key is installed in the equipment of the iMac.
I would really appreciate if someone will help me :)
Computer:
iMac (mid 2011)
MacBook Air (mid-2013)
If you are connected to the Internet during installation, disconnect then you can enter the product without verification key.
You should be able to reactivate the Windows 8 Pro license:
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) 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.

I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6. Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key. Any ideas would be appreciated
Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key. 1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key. Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch
