• Product key is not valid after the relocation because of the virus

  My netbook has a virus and I need to reinstall my windows xp.unfortunately my sticker is no longer legible, so I can't access my product key. One of my reinstallation cd told me that my product key is not valid... What do I do... i tried to call the phone numbers given on the Web site, but no one answers me.

  Help! 

  Hi el_gwapa,

  If you use a relocation of the disc from the manufacturer of the computer, then you may need to contact the manufacturer and see if you can get a product key.

  Also check the following links to get a new product key for Microsoft:

• My Halo CE says that my product key is not valid after I have install and update the game.

  I install my copy of Halo CE on my computer. I enter the product key and accept the key. I update my game and everything is still fine then. After that I restarted the game as required, he said that my product key is not valid. I do not understand why he said it. I know that it is valid. I used the said product key to unlock the Halo Reach for this Halo nameplate on the site Web of Bungie. I'm not sure why this is happening. In addition, this product key is not the key supplied with the disc. I lost my old drive and had to borrow one from a friend.

  Hello

• Product key is not valid after the re - install Windows 7.

  Original title: assistance required with Activation.

  Separated from this thread.

  I have the same question by looking at the subject of this thread.  I'll explain my problem.  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L670, which has Windows 7 above.  In order to run a specific program, it called for Windows 7 Professional, got the unlocked key this portion ran the program without problems so far.

  Recently ran a upgrade to Windows 8 problem, someone else has started to use the major problems of the computer.  Has decided to restore the computer to Windows 7.  Entered product key codes, but the computer is showing the products are not authentic.  I have the key for Windows 7 and Windows 7 Pro unlock codes, but it contains the code of the key is not genuine.  Suggestions?

  Here are my options in terms of original software for this software:

  1. He is currently a Windows 7, which came with the computer - tell me how to remove the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro
  2. I have an upgrade to Windows 7 Pro key - work not
  3. I have an unregistered Windows 8 upgrade that, I uninstalled it due to the update of loop that drove me crazy

  Thanks in advance

  Use your Tosh recovery disks, starting from them and reinstall win7 as pre-installed by Tosh.

  PS It would be quite unusual for a program to require a specific version of win7, what is this program?

• 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

• XP product key is not valid.

  I have an old HP Pavillion with XP dv8000. It became too slow to use over the years, so I deleted the operating system, which re-formatted disk and tried to reinstall XP using 3 separate disks in Win XP (legitimate) I. Windows refuses to install, saying that the product key is not valid. I used the key on all 3 of the discs, as well as the original key on the bottom of the laptop. Am I out of luck? Thank you.

  What type of drive you are using to install XP?

  You can use the recovery disk that came with the PC (or created from the original installation), or OEM System Builder drive with the key on the case. Disk and the key must also be to the same edition of XP (Home or Pro)

  If you have a disk with SP3, you can install by using the default key, and then change the key of the COA, one using the tool to update the key product - http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/xppkuinst.aspx

• Vista Home Premium product key is not accepted after the repair, in which the computer was stripped of the same Windows software

  When my ET1161-07 came back from repair, it was so empty of software that even my "copy of Windows is not genuine", as it appears in the lower right. Due to this fact, I have no protection, either. I followed the instructions on the screen to type in the product key code that I found on the sticker on the casing of the machine (I had him bought at Costco, with preinstalled Vista Edition Home Premium, with no backup disk included), but the box would not accept even the next character to come at some point, to Midway. As a result, my window of Activation of Windows said I typed in the product key is not valid for activation, and I have to either buy a new online, or type a different product key or contact Dell to help solve this problem. Could you please help me with this? Fortunately, Istvan

  Hello

  First thing I would do is to take this computer to the place/person fixing it and demand that they fix it properly.

  We don't know where they got the Vista disk/license since they were installed.

  See you soon.

  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.

• Re-install Windows 8 pro on PC, how many times before that the product key is not valid?

  Due to problems with Windows Update, and more specifically by using the 8.1 free update, I had some problems and have re-isntalled twice now on this PC.

  You install previous motherboard no re-day after the first installation.

  First install on the replacement motherboard activated via telephone due to the new material.

  2 more reinstall without a phone on the same PC.

  The general consensus is that, once you get to the installation of 5th Activation of the phone is necessary.

  How many times before that the product key is not valid?

  I only ask that the errors are related to data that is not stored on my PC.  and given that Windows 8 is nowhere near the performance and stabilty before I used the App store update I have to reinstall until it's resolved.

  Required to reactivate by phone after the 5th reinstalled only happen based on the license.

  If you make significant changes with a license pre-installed as a motherboard, then you will not be able to use the phone or Internet activation.
