Place of product key

Where can I find the 25 character product key. It is not in the computer box. I did not receive the CD with the computer

Hello Harriet of Texas,

Thank you for your message.  Are you referring to the product key of Windows 7 or a key for Office?  The Windows 7 product key should be on the bottom of your computer.  If she is not there, contact the manufacturer of your system.  There are also some third-party tools that display the product key on your machine if you have already activated your copy of Windows 7.

See you soon

    Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite C850-1 kN and am upgrading to 8.1 windows I got to the screen asking for my product key to activate windows 8.1.

  • Product key is not readable

    Hello
    by looking at the label of the product key on my laptop it is not more readable as quite a long time since the device in use and it is carried away.

    Somehow, it happened that a virus took place and I luckily able to use HARD drive pre-installed for a recovery so re-installed outside. But now, I have a problem with my activation Win7 Home Premium, even if officially purchased before. The original installation media seems not to be available on the disc more and even if I tried to use my previously created recovery image, the victory is not always enabled and that the version of 30 day´s waiting for activation.

    Is it possible to get the personal touch from somewhere, for example based on the serial number of the laptop or so, pls?
    Thank you, Patricia

    Hello Patricia

    Most of the new laptops comes with the pre-installed operating system, what we called recovery image. This recovery image is the version of the OS that includes a product key and after a new installation, first connect to the internet, it will be enabled, so you will have legal version of the OS.

    Sticker product key on your laptop is just evidence that your laptop has been offered with the valid license code. This product key is for the version of the OS that you have with your machine and it cannot be used by any other installation of Windows so there is no possibility of this key to be ordered separately.

    To be honest, I don't understand what the problem is here, but after installation of image recovery connect your computer to the internet and the preinstalled version will be activated automatically control panel > system > Windows activation status.

  • Find product key Microsoft OS 'lost' on my laptop

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite u300. I got there an hour required to access my Microsoft Vista product key from the bottom of my laptop. To my horror, the sticker has a few scratches and at least one of the characters is unrecognizable. Another character was overshadowed, but it seems to be part of a '4 '.

    My question: "is there another place where I can find the product key? For example, can I get from the recovery disk?

    I'm really desperate and would appreciate any help.

    Hello

    Why do you need this key. I mean, Don t you must enter somewhere because the recovery is already on and he didn't need a key. The thumbnail is just a proof of purchase for the license of Windows Vista.

    Regarding your question: no, there is no other way to find the product key and won´t you need.

  • Sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable

    Hello Toshiba Help Center

    Please help me solve this problem

    Three years ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista preinstalled. I also received a DVD with her recovery. I now want to reinstall Windows and completely format the hard drive - however, the sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable. So what I did... I formatted my laptop for windows 7 and after a few months, I want to recover my product key and install windows vista pre - with the original product key that sound now
    unreadable...

    Is it possible to get it back by, my laptop series No, or...
    Best regards, TOSHIBA
    IM bluebird.jeff

    Hello, Jeff

    At first, I must say that it is not toshiba Help Center, but user forum created by Toshiba, so if you wait for the response from Toshiba people here you are in the wrong place.
    In any case, in this forum, you can pick up some very useful information and a lot of people here can help you with your problems.

    Return to described the issue.
    Unfortunately you do not understand how it works with the product key and Windows Setup, so I'll try to help you with this.
    Each computer toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and the product key at the bottom of your laptop belongs to this version. With other words: when you buy the new laptop, you have to pay for hardware, operating system and a license for this preinstalled OS. Product key at the bottom is not a kind of universal product key and cannot be used for activation of another version of Windows.

    You can use the delivered Toshiba recovery disc that contains mage replicated several times and each time you will have activated the operating system. When you use the Microsoft disk for the installation of the OS you must have valid product key which belongs to this particular version.

    In your case product key is for Vista, and you cannot use it for Win7 activation. This product key is... unnecessary.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • HP 250 G4: HP 250 G4 Windows Product key

    Hi, I recently had to completely format my laptop for work.

    This lead me to have to reinstall the OS's multiples, including one that was previously installed on it.

    In my haste to get the machine put in place in the client's facilities, I chose to use instead a generic product key in order to get the configuration of the window quickly, with the intention to recover the BONES of my initial credential.

    However, I can't seem to find the key anywhere and am unable to open it, due to conflicts of warranty.

    Is there a way to get around this?

    As I would like to activate Windows 10 Pro license key I already had.

    Thank you for the answers

  • Windows 7 product key blocked - not genuine notice

    My T420 is 3 years old and all of a sudden yesterday I received the notice and black screen saying "this copy of Windows is not genuine". And nag screens on it about every half hour (and annoyingly at startup).

    I tried several fixes online, including the re - enter the product key. When I do this I get the error 0XC004F063. There is no place to contact Microsoft for a replacement key, it says to contact Lenovo.

    I talked to Lenovo support this morning and told me I might need to reinstall Windows, and they were mailing - me to restore disks. He checked and said with this error code that I had to call Microsoft.

    I called MS and we checked the product key... it's blocked. I gave her my product ID and which is also blocked. He said to come back to Lenovo.

    Lenovo doesn't know anything about. Or what to do about it. The woman was told she had someone call this morning with something similar, if it was Windows 8. She checked and several other people support had similar appeals this morning. She also said that I would probably have to reinstall Windows. I asked if she would have never had this before and she said no. I asked if she knew other people having these calls before and she didn't say that she didn't know. I asked that if it seemed suspicious that all of a sudden some people had this problem. It seems that Lenovo blocked a series of product keys. It was covered on if she was really out of hand and said the Commissioner knew it and they would look inside. When I asked if they would contact me if they found anything, she said that this does not work like that. They you me sending restore disks and I am for the reminder Friday to see if someone knows something.

    In the meantime, here is my log Genuine Ms. It seems correct to my untrained eye... does anyone have any ideas or know of others, especially in the last 24 hours?

    Hello

    To add to the advice of Shawn, Amazon.com are about the only place to buy Windows 7 online with a sort of reliability. But beware the buyer is the rule.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

    There are sites online that sell only product keys.

    Do not touch the as they are for most pirated product keys or MSDN subscription product keys sold several times.

    Even if you don't need it, always buy the packaged product, DVD, product key, etc. in a sealed package.

    See you soon.

  • Laptop HP G62-451SA: cannot read the label for Office 2010 product key as it dissipated over time

    Obliged to restore settings after a total crash.

    Spent the whole day as recommended by HP, including using my recovery disk that has failed.

    Tried to open Microsoft Office 2010 as usual, but said to give the product key to activate it.  Mine is on a sticker on the bottom of my laptop.  Unfortunately it is place to be where it is that some of the numbers have disappeared over time.  Now I can read only the last 15 digits.

    Ages worn on Microsoft support pages and basically they said that the onus to solve this problem since I legally paid for it when buying their product to HP.

    I'll lose more than a year of work, if I can't get this sort.

    Thank you.

    The label on the bottom of your laptop is not for the office. It's your Windows license key. It should say Windows 7 Home Premium above the numbers.

    Most of the HP machines come with a trial of office unless order you it with more full Office and pay extra. The trial usually actually works after the period 60 day trial - unless you do a recovery. After a recovery it will require you to buy a license key to use.

  • When Microsoft will release product keys for the new xbox live beta dashboard for users? 26 August

    Hello

    I am registered for the new program to update xbox live dashboard beta and I was wondering when microsoft will likely make the product keys available for this update will take place. I waited more than 24 hours now and I find it unacceptable to keep the people waiting for such a highly anticipated update.

    did anyone know when these product keys are likely to become available because I'm starting to lose my patience now.

  • How will I know that my Windows product key is if one on the sticker that is located on the computer does not seem to work?

    You want more details. For two hours I answered all the questions that ask you that. And still no support. You up to the date of this laptop, every day at 03:00, so don't tell me the product key, which is on the back of this box is incorrect. Or that it is not the country I say. Just send me what is on the back of this box, which I paid too much for in the first place.

    We are not Microsoft. We are volunteers who give of our spare time to help people. Complain about Microsoft is a waste of time. We are in the same boat as you when it comes to most of the problems and not more control or access that you have to do.

    A product key is not in the box where everyone can see.  It is a sequence of alphanumeric 25 digit of 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes for the operating system.  If this is the original installation, the key will be on a label on the underside of the laptop.  It has been upgraded or purchased as a product of the retail (suggested by saying you that you have a box), then the product key for the product to the retail sales would have been on a piece of paper inside the box.  The product key on the label of the laptop would have been crushed (which would have been in the computer would have been product key from the manufacturer that could not be used to enable or provide proof) by installing the retail or upgrade.  Microsoft has no idea what is your product key regardless of the case - even if you bought them (unless it was by a download and then you should have an email from their share with the product key to this topic).

    If this is not a problem of activation or re-installing and that you have installed and activated the product yourself, try of Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and see if the product key, it reveals work best of all what you use now.

    For more information, if it does not help, post to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_install?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376.

  • Windows XP Pro product key

    I got a laptop for my father and I try to reformat & get going for him. I got an operating system disk Windows XP Pro to the place of the local computer. I am trying to install & using the product key on the bottom of the laptop tells me that the CD key is not valid. The Lady instead of the computer told me that the product key on the bottom of the laptop is what I needed. As I walked she told me that they reformat for $80. So if the product key at the bottom of my laptop does not work, how they will reformat? Something smells like fish on this subject. My question is how can I get a valid product key code?

    This is a question for the people who sold you the XP disc.  Microsoft sells more than XP, and as much as I know they will probably not help with activation.  You might have a chance with the manufacturer of the laptop; they might be able to give (sell) you the installation media that work with the product key on the computer.
