Product key is not readable

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista but the sticker on the laptop product key is not readable.

  My partner has an Acer laptop running Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. He needs a complete reinstallation of Windows because there a lot of problems now. The problem is the sticker of the product key on the laptop is often illegible. I tried to use the Magic Jelly Bean finder key to resolve this issue, but the key does not match what the letters which are readable on the sticker. I tried this on my own laptop and had the same problem (sticker key did not key on the computer). Neither laptops have had Windows reinstalled before. I learned that the keys posted by Magic Jelly Bean are in fact license keys of Volume factory installed by the OEM rather than found on the stickers product keys and Volume license keys cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

  His cell phone doesn't have a recovery disk or a recovery partition, but even if she did, given its current state, a complete reinstallation is what it takes. Her cell phone is not come with a Windows Installation DVD, either, but we can borrow one from a friend who owns a disk with the same version of Windows as his laptop and I know that works perfectly. We just need a way to recover the product key that was on the sticker. We are not ready to buy a new copy of Windows that we already have a license (through the purchase of the laptop) key.

  PS I remember that I helped my father after reinstall Windows XP. We tried both the key on the sticker of his PC and the one that we found on the PC itself (Volume key). In the end, only the key on the sticker has worked. This confirms that a Volume license key cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

  Hello

  We cannot help you with your product key and there are no records of loan use

  recovery discs are brand and the specific model

  and product key finder programs will not help you find product keys that you can use vista preinstalled in these circumstances

  to reinstall vista use either disk or recovery partition recovery manufacturer, since they do not normally require an input key product on your part

  The manufacturer must provide a way to reinstal vista or by disk or a recovery Partition

  Contact Acer recovery Vista disc

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  and Acer has a "hidden" recovery partition

  Normally with an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process, or if it is still ongoing, you go to section eRecovery under [programs and search for how to make recovery discs and the use of the recovery partition

• Product key sticker not readable

  Hello

  Need help with my product key sticker.  My friend gave me his HP Netbook that has Windows 7 Starter edition is installed.  The sticker that has the code on it is attached at the bottom of the computer, and therefore, I can't read the third channel of information...  I can read as follows: ABCDE - SON-JK? MNOPQ-RSTUV.   The? are at the door of the letters on the product key sticker.    I found the CD key in the registry, but that the CD key is different from what is on the sticker, because I think it is came with Windows 7 Starter and Windows update it took for SP1.  How can I do as I want this info before upgrading the operating system in case it is needed.

  Thank you
  MM

  Hello

  We cannot help you find what is the product key.

  We can ARICI give you information to help you reinstall and activate this operating system of Windows Starter.

  As it's a Netbook, it shouldn't have a DVD player.

  But it will be a Partition to reinstall Windows 7 from recovery.

  You can do this passing through HP Recovery Manager or by pressing F11 at STARTUP.

  It is all explained in the link to HP

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c01867418&cc=us&destPage=document&LC=en&tmp_docname=c01867418

  The product key that you found in the operating system's product key which is used on several machine during the production of the factory and is useless for purposes of resettlement.

  It's nothing to do with the SP1.

  See you soon.

• My windows product key is not valid.

  Hello

  My windows product key is not valid. It shows that I don't ' have a genuine windows, and so I entered the product key to activate

  and its not to validate. It was workiing before, just do not know what happened.

  Help, please.

  Thank you!

  I wanted to tell the name of version (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium) printed on the sticker.  Is the version currently installed on the PC of the same version?  Check in Control Panel > system page.  The number is the ID of the product that is not supposed to be the same as the key.

  If the versions are identical, then the problem is a bad character entered, almost always.

  If the product key is readable, then you can certainly use it to Clean install Windows Upgrade 10. Look over the steps and ask in return if you have any questions.

• Reinstalled Windows 7 but Windows office product key will not work

  I kept getting a blue screen and computer kept stopping and restarting. Done all updates day and driver updates, but nothing has worked. So I decided to do the HP recovery and do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and everything works well so far.

  When I went to reactivate Windows Office Professional product key did not work. How can I get the key to work? Went on the Windows website and connected, but said it had no products for me. Can someone tell me another way? Not sure if I have a disk to reinstall.

  You will need to find the license activation key, otherwise you will not have the version of Microsoft Office Pro.

• After update Win OS is not genuine and my product key is not valid

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba EA60 - 156 computer equium laptop using the preinstalled software. Suddenly after running auto-updates to update, windows think now its not authentic and my product key is not valid. After trying to check online, I was told to contact Toshiba after checking the key online. Online my copy is authentic, but windows still considers that it is not.

  What should I do?

  Iain

  I raise reading Microsoft license Validation could be responsible for such messages.
  This tool distributed by Microsoft through its Windows Update platform for some time considered the factory image Toshiba installed an illegal copy of Windows XP.

  I think that to avoid popping up this message, you must remove this License validation tool.
  I think that the idea is also to contact the service partner in your country. Maybe they have detailed information on this issue

• OEM of Windows XP product key does not work on Tecra A2

  Hello

  I have re-formatted a Tecra A2 with XP Pro, which is in charge of the license on the COA sticker but when typed in the product key section when formatting text it says "the product key is not valid."

  I use a CD standard Windows XP Pro with SP3.

  Help, please!

  Regarding

  _ + _ + ISG Jackson

  Product key that you see at the bottom belongs to the version you got with this laptop. You will use it not if you use the CD of Microsoft facilities for the installation of the OS.
  If you use standard Microsoft Pro Windows XP CD with Service Pack 3, then enter the product key that you got with this CD of facilities and everything will be OK.

• Reinstall windows on the larger hard drive with the product key, but not drive. PC was custom and retailer out of business.

  It is my mother's computer.  She is 90 and is unwilling to learn a new OS.  I want to reinstall XP on a hard disk that has 300 GB and is already installed in the E drive.  His original hard drive is 40 GB and 35 are in use.  I have the original Windows product key but not the windows CD.  the retailer who has built and sold this pc is out of business.  What is the best way to achieve this?

  You can borrow a retail XP CD from a friend of yours and activate it using your product key.

  Just make sure that if your key is for home then get XP Home etc.
