product key activation code?

My aunt died last month, and threw his old computer. the other day, I found its xp disc. I want to put his xp disk in a computer I have at home, but I don't have the numbers of its activation. where can I get the code?

can I get the xp drive some how?

any info would be helpful... Thank you.

Pat

Assuming that your aunt had a typical computer OEM, the product key (and licence) is good only for the PC (that you throw).

    A week or two ago I was given an HP computer XP Professional sp3.

  • Purchased a product key for Windows 7 Professional, but you must enter a different product key activation

    My laptop came with a Windows 7 Basic program trial and the trial ended so I bought a product key for Windows 7 Professional, because I got a discount on that student. When I try to activate it, it says I need to enter the product key for what I already use but I don't know the key to it. What am I doing here? Do I have to buy a product key for my Windows 7 original also?

    Windows 7 Home Basic Edition is not a trial.

    Is the Windows 7 Professional a full, level or Express upgrade?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Update Windows 8 pro 8.1 pro - product key/activation required?

    I have a dell latitude E5530 it came preinstalled and active with windows 8 pro. I get guests to update to 8.1 and indeed when I go to store the link is available. However, I want to know if I need the product key for this upgrade? Will I need to reactivate after upgrade? If so how can I get the current installation product key? The upgrade will also default 8.1pro?

    Thanks for your help, I know that these issues are pretty basic but I can't seem to find the answers in the son and I saw the charges based on complaints from upgrade so I'm trying to be careful.

    The product key for the 8.0, you already is built into the system (it was on stickers on the laptops, but now it is embedded in the BIOS of the motherboard).

    The 8.1 update is a service pack, so it won't change your product key or activation, and no new key is required.  It's just a set of updates.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, neither HP or Microsoft will have any folder of your product key - but you can order a set of HP recovery disks.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    To reinstall windows using these disks will not be required to enter a product key - activation will be automatic.

  • Product key invalid for Activation, failure Code: 0xC004F050

    I have a Dell with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 BIT computer. I have been using this computer for over a year without any major problems. I have not recently installed any software, etc. I shut down my computer last night and when I tried to start this morning, I received the following error message:

    "The product key of Windows Vista Home Edition Premium you typed is invalid for activation". I gives me three options to fix this problem:
    1. access your computer with reduced functionality. (This also will allow you to buy a product online key).
    2. enter a different product key.
    3 contact Dell to help solve this problem.

    I tried to re - type the product key that is listed on the bottom of my computer and I received the 0xC004F050 error code. I tried typing the key again (to make sure that I had typed correctly the first time) and I got the same failure code.

    I looked in the old posts in your forum of answers and I could not find any information to help out me.

    To clarify, I don't have access to my Start menu. When I connect, I just asked to select one of the three options listed above.
