Which is the real key to my new windows. One returned by MGA Diag tool/Jellybean key finder (both give even) or one at the back of my COST?
There are two types of OEM suppliers. Royalty OEM vendors can distribute Windows products by using the preinstallation (SLP) product keys so that end users can bypass product activations. All other OEM vendors distribute Windows products by using the standard product keys that require the user to activate Windows products.
If your recovery partition is damaged or missing, or you lose your recovery disk, you can use either the COA key at the rear with a disc of Windows 7 genuine.

I think I have a virus that took my product key of Windows 7 and I am also able to do the windows updates.
Try first to activate by phone (have the product key on the COA/sticker loan). Sticker is usually on the side of a desktop computer, a laptop computer background, sometimes inside the battery compartment, and you may need to remove the battery). If the activation of the phone does not work, then run the tool of diagnosis below and post your results.

Product key for Windows 10 is not authentic
* Original title: windows 7 ultimate
I have a product key and the version is authentic. This os has worked flawlessly until the recent updates have been installed. Now I'm said that it is not genuine and will not authenticate. Is it just chose him the method of forcing people to use windows 10?
Thomas,
It is not a method to force you to 10 Windows. But to say that is rather requires data "MGA results."
Download & run the MGA tool. When the results appear, click on the continue button & it turns into a key copy after a short break. Click copy [ignore the error message that is displayed]. Paste the results directly in Notepad or another & save them to ensure that you can not lose the information.
- Then go back on this forum & click change under your question
- Change the title of the question - add no real message, MGA posted results to get your issue noticed by the people with the skills to diagnose results
- Then paste the results in your question
- Change the question to download, install & activate category using the drop-down lists under the box of your issue description [text]
Add a brief history of the computer & operating system. To avoid too much back & episodic, you must include this information in your question:
- The brand and model of the computer
- When & where you bought: new & directly from the computer manufacturer, new & from a manufacturer of small scale computer, pre-owned, refurbished,...
- What OS was already preinstalled when you bought it
- What further facilities of the BONE [replacements & upgrades] have you done since
- Where you bought your OS [replacements & updates] facilities
- What type of license [OEM / System Builder or retail] you believe that the pre-installed OS & the following facilities OS [replacements & updates]
- What, if any, actions that you have taken to activate in the past to achieve or restore activation
- What [s] certificate of authenticity ['COA'] you have on the computer itself, or even provided with the following facilities [replacements & upgrades] OS - COA is the label with the product key of Windows 7 on it but do not reveal the product key itself online [the excerpt shown in the MGA results you post is correct] Note that many laptops have the certificate of authenticity within the battery compartment.
- What editions of Windows 7 {Starter, Home Premium, professional, full edition} are indicated on the certificate of authenticity [s].
- Windows 7 edition identified in the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], System
- What activation status is indicated in the lower part of the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], System
- What recent changes have been made to the computer [replacement HDD, motherboard,...]
- What indication do you have that your Windows is not genuine?
- You have already done to try to solve the current problem
- Please note that the people who will try to help you maybe in a different time zone. Display of all the information in your original question can avoid delays based on the current time zone [someone asked what your model of computer during their day, you don't see the question until the next day, they do not see your response until their next day - 3 days might therefore have passed without any progress].
- Display of all the information in your original question also establishes a single point of reference so that people who are trying to help you can get all the information they need in one place. It also helps to avoid delays.

Need to exchange the product key of Windows 7 with Windows XP
Hi... I bought a windows 7 Professional, but I use windows xp pro... the problem is that the product key of windows 7 will not work on windows xp... I have a program that works under windows xp and so I need to activate my windows xp... is it possible that microsoft will grant a scholarship or exchange of product keys?
Original title: product key problem
I would say no, but you never know unless you ask. If you do not, contact the Head Office of your area, but don't do it with any hope of a positive outcome.
You can run "XP mode" in Windows 7 Professional, who can make such a useless Microsoft request...

Anyone know how to get a new existing product key of windows XP Professional 32-bit OS?
NECESSARY EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PLEASE!
Hello
Anyone know how to get a new existing product key of windows XP Professional 32-bit OS? (my key has reached the max limit).
Please HELP URGENTLY if youi can as I have now just 1 day left to activate (& risk losing all my work in the last days where I reformatted and reloaded all programs, etc.). Really, I don't want to not upgrade to windows 7 (already tried) until I absolutely have to also really enjoy windows xp prof os - but complete support & can't buy more then? Download the new key or extend my use of existing key?
PLSE Help!
Thank you
Angie
There is no such thing as a "max usage limit" (other than to be in use on a single computer at a time) for a Windows XP product key.
There is no limit to the number of times where you can reinstall and activate the same license of Windows XP on the same PC. Is never a charge. No more than a product key (as long as it is not an evaluation license) never expire. If it's been more than 120 days you finally turned on this specific product key, you will probably be able to activate via the Internet without problem. If it was less, you may need to do a five minute phone call.
Here are the facts relating to activation:
