product activation limit Windows 7

I acquired a copy of Windows 7 from Dreamspark which includes 2 activation of windows 7 64-bit (and 32-bit, but I'm only using 64-bit). I have two computers that I use, but computers died a long time ago.  I replaced from this computer, but when I used the same product key I now get notifications that the product key has expired and cannot be enabled on the new computer.  Technically, I have 3 installs this key, but I did not use the first years since the computer installation is long dead.  Can I turn off this product not to be linked with my key so I can activate my current product key and I have my 2 computers both running windows 7 64 bit?

The best you can do is to reactivate by phone:

How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
 
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.

  • Error in product activation key Windows 8 0xC0000022 / 0xC004F012 & more...

    Hello everyone.

    I've been running Windows 8 for almost a year now.  Authentic, active, copy no problem whatsoever.  So after some personal problems with security, last week, I did a factory re install my Windows 8 X 64 system with high hopes.

    All I get is the Windows Activation arise regularly, but when I try to activate Windows, error 0XC0000022 code appears. (PARAGRAPH 1).
    Tried to activate by phone, but I do not have Installation ID slui 4 being listening off too.

    Ran 'SLUI 3', product code entered, only to get "could not verify that key, then try another. (SS 2)

    Even tried as mentioned, SLUI 4, enter "Denmark" and new 0XC0000022 (SS-3), then a window with no installation ID

    So, after a lot of research and searching the Internet for a solution possible, I got to try some solutions without success.

    I tried to launch a recommended cmd

    sfc/scannow

    and this is what I have... online or not

    So I tried the next best thing I knew 'The MGADiag tool' only to be again disappointed by this screen

    and that's where he suddenly became chaotic, cause now, I got a new error then look up.

    Apparently, this problem occurs when some files in the update of Windows are missing, even if the update is downloaded and extracted successfully.

    "" So I quickly discovered a fix recommending'Troubleshooting Windows Update tool "fix Microsoft ' and tried, with a real outcome, for the first time since a started with that, a week ago. It looks like this

    Here I am through, Yes! Finally and I keept going on with the recommended steps, which mentioned a 'Refresh your PC without your files' so I did, only to be disappointed again 2 hours later... by (SS1) error 0xC0000022

    Without all the other tracks, so I started poking around in my control panel, just to be surprised by that too... What, my Windows is active, but not active? huh

    When it clearly States in 'view details of activation' ' NOT AVAILABLE ' a click later

    and yet once, click later on this page, I was tempted to look at the details "activation" that lead me to this screenshot for you guys

    Error code:

    0xC004F012

    The software Licensing Service reported that the call failed because the value of the entry key was not found.

    Now, this is where I get really confused, because now we have 3 error codes listed... and am honestly lose trust in all these solutions, but cela a seams to be the problem... It turns out that this error pops up when something is wrong with your 'Software Protection service' in Services.msc. So I checked out and Yes really enough...

    Software protection service does not work! explains that I come back with all the other services are in effect, including the activation of Windows associated with those. So start it leaves are we going?

    Access is denied? Hmm what a surprise. Pretty much identical to the previous error 0xC0000022. Which means normally is wrong with my permissions as access should not be denied... So I went to the next logical place... Properties to verify permissions and Yes, really everything is grey like this

    AHA I got through and I found myself quickly sppsvc.exe file in my Windows dic. and changed all the permissions for FULL CONTROL. Only to return to the exact same small screens.

    Now, here, I'm a week later, with a lot of knowledge, but no real results... really confused and embarrassed... So, I really hope that someone out there is smart enough to offer an adequate solution for this.

    PLEASE DON ' T BOTHER IF YOUR JUST SOME MOD WITH A USELESS FANCY COPY PASTE TO THE SHOW... I NEED HELP, NOT A FANCY FILLERS.

    OK, I don't usually answer and try to help, but as I spent so much time researching this issue after experiencing the same issue here, it will:

    This solution worked for me on Windows 7, it has not been tested on Windows 8, but it worked for me after I have tried all the same steps that the poster original, nothing helps.

    The problem is the Software Protection service, and is unable to start as you found it from the beginning.

    Step 1. Open an administrative command prompt.

    Step 2. Copy and paste the following command into your command prompt, and press to enter. This properly resets the permissions on the service:

    ICACLS % windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform/Grant, "BUILTIN\Administrators: (OI) (CI) (F)" "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM: (OI) (CI) (F)" ' NT Service\sppsvc: (OI) (CI)(R,W,D) "," NETWORK SERVICE: (OI) (CI) (F)»»»

    Step 3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to %windir%\System32

    Step 4. Make sure you can see hidden and system files and folders.

    Step 5. Delete all the files/folders with the following name (you can move them to a folder to archive instead of delete them if you want to be sure):

    7B296FB0-376B-497e-B012-9C450E1B7327-5P-0.C7483456-A289-439d-8115-601632D005A0

    Step 6. In your Windows Explorer window, navigate to:

    %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\

    Step 7. Tokens.dat and rename it tokens.bak

    Step 8. Try to start the Software Protection service. It should start successfully today. If he does then restart the computer and try to activate Windows again.

    Thanks to Craig Garland and Santosh Bennett for their positions on the Technet site on the Software Protection service which lead me to this response.

  • Product activation OEM Windows 7 64 Bit-

    I recently bought an OEM Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit operating system, unfortunately I am unable to find a product key to perform the installation on the DVD itself or on the packaging. I wonder where to get the key code or how to activate windows?

    I'm grateful for any advice!

    Sarah

    Generic OEM? or did you buy a Dell installation disk to reinstall the operating system on an existing Dell computer came with Windows 7?

    If generic OEM, then he should have with a product key.

    If a Dell OEM drive, you have no need to enter a product key, but if you are prompted for one, then you need to get the product key off the coast of the COA sticker on your computer.

  • Get the 'Message (unacceptable)' error while activating my Windows 7 product key.

    * Original title: product key

    When I want to active my windows 7 it ask me to enter the product key, but I can not enter the number (0) and I have this

    Message (unacceptable character)
    

    I've updated since an activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, then I decided to reinstall using either the. ISO file, reset the player's PC or recovery, but I am prompted to enter a product key:

    Click on that later

    Windows 10 automatically reactivates in the coming days.

    Things you should know:

    • A Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key cannot Activate Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own unique product key.
    • By default, the versions of Windows 10 are previously entered, which means, you don't have to enter a product key and should not be invited to enter one as long as you upgraded a activated License of Windows 7 or Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10 Preview build.
       
    • If you perform a clean installation on the first attempt, you will have to start from an activated installation of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
    • If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on Do this later and give it a few days, 10 Windows will be activated automatically.
    • Activation servers may be overwhelmed at the time due to the volume of updates, so give it some time if you get an error of the type ()0XC004E003, 0x8007000D, 0x8007232b or 0x8007007B) 10 Windows will activate eventually as long as you upgrade by using the appropriate method.
    • It does not need to know your product key Windows 10, read "Understanding Product Activation in Windows 10:

    Figure 10 Windows Product Activation:

    In previous versions of Windows, when you have installed a version upgrade of Windows, if you want to reinstall the upgrade version, you had first reinstall permissible version where you upgraded, reactivate, then upgrade again and reactivate again.

    With Windows 10, this is no longer the case. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 and enable, you can simply create a bootable copy on DVD or USB and reinstall all Windows 10 without having to reinstall the release candidate and it automatically reactivates.

    Quote:

    "10 keys Windows handles differently. When you migrate to Windows 10 via Windows Update to 8.1 Windows or Windows 7, the process saves your eligible hardware and OS computer with a Microsoft Product Activation Server. The device is considered as a device Windows 10.

    Hello

    This FAQ http://www.microsoft.com/norge/piracy/activation_faq.mspx says:
     
    Microsoft use activation to force me to upgrade? In other words, Microsoft will never stop giving activation codes for all products that require activation?
    No, Microsoft use activation as a tool to force people to upgrade. Activation is simply a tool in the fight against piracy, nothing else.

    Microsoft will also support Windows XP activation throughout his life and will probably make the point that turns off activation at the end of the life cycle of the product so that users would be more needed to activate the product.

    When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

    KiranS Hello,

    Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?

    The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.

    I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.

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

  • Activation product key for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit problems

    I've had this computer for a while. Several years ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would like to install windows 7 Professional at half price because he pre-ordered 2 copies at half price. I was running Vista and bought from him. I have never had any problems with the product code, through 3 motherboards, (HP hurts many mothers), and have a computer repair store to install a new hard drive by using the same product activation code. I reinstalled Windows 7 pro 64 bits once before experiencing a lot of problems and so about 10 days ago. I have not had any problems until yesterday when I had a messaqge saying that my product key has not been accepted. I have no time to this address until today and I keep re - enter the product key and get the error Code 0xC004C008 message that says that my product key is not valid. Until that time, Windows update has installed more than 100 updates without problem. What can I do? I bought this in good faith and the product key worked before, whenever it was necessary.

    Try the phone activation:

    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
    (3) to select your "country" you are in the drop-down list.
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
    (5) stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.

    Also, make sure your product report ID:

    The part you are interested in is the section to three digits of the number to identify the product, if it corresponds or is included in one or two digits of the examples below, you probably have a MSDN or TechNet product key. "These keys must not be sold for retail use.

    065 066 067, 068, 069 for Ultimate, 220 for professional and 230, 231, 232 area for Home Premium,

    There are probably others, but they should be close to those that are displayed"
    (How to be certain - download the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool listed above).

    Note: Though that illegally sold MSDN/TechNet allow product key for activation of more than one
    (usually 5 or 10), so these keys can be sold "several times" before activation may fail.
