Product key for activation.

My Windows Vista Home Premium requires product activation keys, but I don't know anything about my operating system product keys, if anyone can help me in this?

If Vista was preinstalled it usully would be a label with the key on the PC.
If you bought Vista alone, it would be on the cd case

  • Microsoft Office 2007 online... NO PRODUCT KEY for ACTIVATION received

    I'm not able to use Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Publisher 2007 - because I have not received the package in the mail that contains the product key for Activation.

    This purchase was a total waste of my time and money... I need to access Excel & Word. (I bought this Sept 2012)

    MS didn't sell Office 2007 in September 2012, sales of Office 2007 in the case of withdrawal when Office 2010 is released in 2010.

    If you have purchased on that date you purchased from a third party, and there is no facility for legal download of Office 2007 with key

  • My product key for Activation on my Windows Vista Hp Pavilion Slimline works more :(

    I got this computer for years and ad just the motherboard replaced. Now he asks me the product key and after that I put in, I get a prompt that displays "the product key is not valid.

    I called HP and everything with an explained Tech and they said I had to pay $99.00 to receive support, but I said I could not afford and has been mentioned here for assistance.

    Help, please.  I don't know what else to do. Receive your response in advance.

    Hi Twin24,

    A new motherboard is a new PC.

    You can buy an OEM or a full retail copy of Win 7 or Win 8 - 8.1.

    Win Vista is no longer officially available for retail sale.

    You must then reinstall Windows and install the necessary drivers for optimum PC operation.

    You could also install a free version of Linux. Ubuntu is a good choice.

     

    You can also test drive Ubuntu. Download the ISO and burn to disc.

    Boot the disk and try it.

  • 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.
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
    (7) the person must give you a confirmation ID, copy it down on paper,
    (8) check that the ID is correct in reading the support person.
    (9) to enter the ID number, then click 'Next' to complete the activation process.

    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

I call the buyer and they told me to contact Microsoft to obtain a new product key.    where and how can I get a. ?? to activate my hp windows 7 HP vista. ??

  • Invalid key for Activation product: reformatted PC from Windows XP to Vista Home Basic

    Our computer was initially using Windows XP. After a few problems which included the same office not loading, we have reformatted it and used Windows Vista Basic Home Edition because the CD with our Dell Inspiron 6000 had compatible drivers for Vista. Now the problem is 30 days elapsed is activation thing and now my computer is in reduced functionality mode (I had no idea it would happen). Windows does not accept the product key for XP. What should I do now?

    You need a valid product key for Vista - Vista product you purchased should have (but it seems that you did not actually buy a Vista product for the PC).  If you used a Vista CD from another computer that doesn't have that Vista is installed, you cannot use this product key the key can be used on one computer at a time.  You need to buy a disc of Installation of Vista with a product key (or just a product key valid).  Frankly, I don't know where you can get one of those these days.  Microsoft Store is not wearing it.

    The only other choice is to reinstall XP. Contact the manufacturer and they may be able to sell the recovery disc for a small fee and you can use those with the product key of Xp on the computer to restore the conditions of the factory as a Xp computer.

    Sorry we can not help you more, but these are the options.  You can try searching Google and Bing for people selling copies of Vista (but don't forget that they are copies of the retail and not OEM copies - or even with the product key they selll you you will not be able to activate because and OEM license is only good on the computer on which the software has been installed initially and cannot be transferred to any other computer).

    Good luck!

  • 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.

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade my windows 8.1 to win 10 (Toshiba Satellite C50-A483) and when I contact Microsoft they asked me about product key for my victory 8.1. I can't find.

    It s from integrated in my laptop from the factory.
    Where can I get the product key for my windows?
    I have another laptop (computer hp laptop)
    The product key is labeled in the back of my laptop

    For the original version of OS that you got with your laptop, you don't need key product for activation. Whenever you install original recovery image Windows is automatically activated.

    In the past product key label was placed on the bottom of the laptop. New model do not have it.
    Unfortunately you can not do more. Valid product key is part of the original image recovery only and cannot be used for any other activation.

    You MUST use the same version and edition of the disc (IE. (Home, Pro, MCE, touch and OEM, sale retail or volume).

    If you do not use the right disk, the key you cannot install.

    For memory, this is a community forum, we cannot give the activation keys, because we do not have them.

  • How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

    Product key for reinstallation question

    I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

    PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

    If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

  • I have the product key for windows vista home basic 32-bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

    I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
