pass Vista activated to another pc

Vista installed & used bus today wish to move to a new pc for the offspring. have insalled & use & activated 7 on my home pc with biger hd etc.

Hi Fortronics,

You can install the operating system Windows Vista to a new PC, but you must make sure that the hard drive where Vista was previously has been installed is formatted before installation or activation on the other computer. Once installation is complete, you will need to do a phone activation to activate the copy of Windows Vista on the new PC.

  • activate, already activated on another machine

    I had Vista Ultimate installed craftsmanship home machine, then I bought Windows 7 Pro and installed on the same machine, so I have Vista Ultimate on nothing, and then decided to install the ultimate to my laptop at home which had Vista Home. allow me to turn on the laptop, said already active on another machine, BTW this is Vista OEM

    If the Ultimate license is OEM, you can not transfer it.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    You can activate it without a SIM card. If it is locked, it takes a SIM card by the carrier, for it is locked. The SIM card should not be linked to an active line of service, but it must be present to activate it.

  • How xp can be disabled so that it could be reused and activated in another machine?

    Original title: activating xp

    I have xp installed on a pc that is currently being discarded. How xp can be disabled so that it could be reused and activated in another machine?

    There is no process to 'disable '. If you have a retail version, you should be able to re - install without problem. If it is an oem version, what you are proposing to do would be not legal.

  • Load a backup of Windows 7 transfer of a Vista box on another box of Vista?

    Get this for luck - as my XP computer was dying, I downloaded Windows 7 transfer (WT 7) and got a good backup to send to my new Windows 7 box.  Then the old computer is dead.  Then I loaded the backup successfully to the new box - and then he died.  Now, I am using the WT 7 backup file to load on a spare box of Vista.  WT Vista does not recognize the WT 7 file, and when I run WT 7 he insists that I must be on the old system and don't go to the screen to load.

    Do I have a chance to do this work?  (Load WT 7 backup Vista box on another box of Vista?)

  • Vista activation error code; 0xc004f063

    Hey all, about 2-3 weeks ago I formatted my computer with a disk I bought online (multi tools); formatting, catering etc. and most of my pilots have disappeared, although I fixed this problem on the internet. After all this time its telling me that I need to activate windows, I didn't know the product key to activate it, so I downloaded a tool to find, he writes in and got an error code; 0xc004f063, I read a lot of similar questions to this to find the answer the phone automated for your code (this was the result in which i made earlier for my laptop to friends). Although this option shows for some reason, everything I have is; "Contact microsoft for help" and which comes to open the Help window. If someone could help me I would appreciate it highly.

    Thanks for your time!

    If you use a license of operating system vista as part of an upgrade, it is related to the new upgrade license

    You can use it NOT then install vista on another computer when it is used in the installation as part of this upgrade

  • Windows Vista active again and again

    * original title - Windows Vista active more and more and more and (you get the idea) *.

    for 3-4 months, at least once or twice a week (currently twice now with 3 days now) VIsta started in a black screen, stating that "this copy of Windows is not genuine" with a dialog box indicating the Activation succeeded.

    Why Vista has suddenly decided to activate so often? OS is fully legitimate, fully serviced, all the installed updates blah blah.

    As such, I have no problem with the activation screen popping up, my main concern is if the activation of MS servers decide my product key was activated too many times and decided to tell me to go away (to say politely!), which would be pretty annoying because nothing on my hardware spec has changed over the last 4 months , and the only significant change was a year ago when I upgraded my HD because of an impending failure alert (SMART State). RAM, processor and motherboard were the same items from the first installation.

    Should he help diagnose etc. machine spec is:

    "Northwood" Pentium 4 3 GHz FSB 533 Mhz processor

    ASUS P4P800 Deluxe

    2GB DDR1 Geil

    NVidia 7600GS AGP 512 MB iirc GPU

    1x500GB (OS) & 1x1TB (data) in a box Seagate HD with a 330 GB Seagate external LaCie firewire.

    Not quite the answer to what I'm asking, system started, decided to reactivate and confirms thus reactivated, I want to know is why he had to reactivate again and again and again...

    This can be caused by a number of things - usually an anti-virus scan of the system at the same time that the licensing service is trying to verify the activation status.
    Nothing to fear (usually) - but if it persists, or the notification remains standing, you should run a report of MGADiag (when the notification is displayed) and post it here.

  • Windows Vista activation problem, error: product key is already in use on another computer.

    Original title: activation problems.

    After installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my laptop, he asks now the product key to activate windows.  He won't accept him, indicating that the product key is already used on another computer.  It is not the case! What can I do?

    Hello les1helen,

    If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • The upgrade of vista activation window

    I have a HP computer I bought several years of 'NEW '.  She had the window XP by HP with a key code on the side of the computer for XP.  Later, I've updated with windows vista, which was more stable and safer.   My computer is turned off and I couldn't have managed to restart.  First, I tried the vista upgrade disc and he told me that I had to use the original windows XP to perform a recovery.  Since the windows XP has been installed by HP I had to use the original recovery discs, I did when I first bought the computer.  Then I had to reinstall the upgrade to vista.  Now to my problem: I tried to activate the vista, but since it was installed by HP there is no activation wizzard, so I used the prompt "Activate now" and he asked that I enter the code I did and he said I have used the original key not upgrade code code.  So, I am entered in the key for the windows XP code he would accept either this key code.  I called the Microsoft Support Center and tried to get help.  Finally, I need to talk to a technical support and he said that I'd give it an activation number that is indicated in the "Activation Wizzard" which I told her that I don't have the "Wizzard" because it was installed by HP.  He said he couldn't help me and hung up on me immediately.  Then, I called HP to see if they could help me get the activation number that Microsoft wanted to.  They said that my computer was more guaranteed and could not help me, but could give me to another group of service that would charge me aqpproximately $60 to help me.  I told him everything I needed was the GOOD key code for the window they've installed on my XP computer or tell me how to enter into the computer to confirm that the key code, they gave me was correct or not.  He asked for forgiveness, but my computer was out of warranty.  I bought two operating systems of windows for this computer and have two key codes and neither one of them can be activated.  The key encoded on the computer is provided by Microsoft and key coded on the Vista upgrade is provided by Microsoft, so why can't the operating system activated by Microsoft.  For both companies CUSTOMER SERVICE leaves much to be desired.  I have spent a lot of time getting this system to the top and re - install the other software that I had to go through all of the upgrade again.  I don't want to not all over again if I don't get the Windows operating system that is activated before the end of the time and the system shuts down again.

    Hello

    It seems that the Windows Vista product key has been blocked, so you may need a new product key.

    You can keep your Windows Vista DVD at hand & contact Microsoft Product Activation Center for assistance.
