  • "The activation server reported that the product key has exceeded its limit of unlocking". Error

    Hello

    I recently changed my motherboard and processor because my old card mother and fried CPU. I had Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) installed earlier, an upgrade to Windows 7 (64-bit). As soon as I started first of all, I got a notification asking me to re - activate my Windows but when I try to activate it with my original key, I get this error: "the activation server reported that the product key has exceeded its limit of unlocking".

    I tried to activate by phone, but instead connect to the automated system, I keep to redirect to voicemail after a few rings. Can someone help me to activate my Windows again? I'm in Karachi, Pakistan.

    The report shows that it is been activated previously, but that the material has changed considerably since the activation - hence the request for reactivation.

    Not too surprising if you traded motherboards. :))

    Telephone activation is definitely the way to go - but it's in the lap of the gods (i.. activation e. operator the MS) as to if they will allow it if the original Win7 installation was an OEM.

    My belief is that they will allow him - of some people hold that they will not :)

  • Where can I get the product key to reinstall Windows 8 on my WANT Sleekbook 6?

    Product: ENVY Sleekbook 6 (6-1110us)

    Initially, this laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I want to reinstall Windows 8, but a Virtual Machine, the breast so I can't use the bits of food with what he delivered. I'm under Ubuntu 12.10 as principal/host OS and will have several virtual machines of Windows running at the top of it.

    Where can I find the product key for Windows 8?

    There is no sticker on the box with a key, and I dug through all the paperwork that comes with it.

    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    ----------
    To say thank you, click the button of "Bravo!"

    Appears that Microsoft has changed the terms of the license with Windows 8. See the next root thread: http://superuser.com/questions/517142/running-windows-8-in-a-vm-can-i-use-the-copy-that-came-with-my-laptop

    In addition, a rather good article exceeding the various changes in the terms of the license of the new Windows 8: http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/

    They consider now a physical PC and a virtual machine to be * separated * computers. Since the preinstalled Windows 8 use an OEM license, this license cannot be moved between the "computers".

    For anyone interested in doing something similar (mobile Windows 8 in a virtual machine), you must purchase an additional license. Upgrade license or a System Builder should work.

  • Anyone know how to get a new existing product key of windows XP Professional 32-bit OS?

    NECESSARY EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PLEASE!

    Hello

    Anyone know how to get a new existing product key of windows XP Professional 32-bit OS? (my key has reached the max limit).

    Please HELP URGENTLY if youi can as I have now just 1 day left to activate (& risk losing all my work in the last days where I reformatted and reloaded all programs, etc.). Really, I don't want to not upgrade to windows 7 (already tried) until I absolutely have to also really enjoy windows xp prof os - but complete support & can't buy more then? Download the new key or extend my use of existing key?

    PLSE Help!

    Thank you

    Angie

    There is no such thing as a "max usage limit" (other than to be in use on a single computer at a time) for a Windows XP product key.

    There is no limit to the number of times where you can reinstall and activate the same license of Windows XP on the same PC.  Is never a charge.  No more than a product key (as long as it is not an evaluation license) never expire.  If it's been more than 120 days you finally turned on this specific product key, you will probably be able to activate via the Internet without problem.  If it was less, you may need to do a five minute phone call.

    Here are the facts relating to activation:

    Piracy Basics - Microsoft Product Activation
    http://www.Microsoft.com/piracy/basics/activation/

    Windows Product Activation (WPA)
    http://www.aumha.org/a/WPA.htm

  • What is the importance of the product key?

    Product key, Product ID and license key means the same thing?

    If I buy a product key online, up to what limit of its used. When it is used for the installation of a pirate operating system or an application like Office 2010, will it work as authentic and that means that the operating system or office application will be transformed into a real? Or what's happening?

    The "product ID" is used to identify the product.

    The "Product key" to activate the product

    The "license" is the legal treams which you accepted during the installation of the product.

    Not a good idea to use a pirated version of any software, because it might include certain undesirable characteristics such a keystroke monitors, virus, etc.  Since you have not mentioned the source of pirated software I can't recommend trying to activate it with a valid key.

    If you're ready to buy a "Product key" then why not buy the retail box version because it includes as well the installation disks authentic and a product key.  You may need the disc if you need to reinstall the software.

    I ring back again and get an operator who actually knows what they are doing - XP is still supported for activation problems, regardless of the level of MS, if I understand correctly.
    Your problem seems to be that you have installed a version update of XP without having anything to upgrade? (I don't think that was possible).
    Try to install the missing Service Packs - any attempt activation again.

  • 7 pro with product key but no COA

    If I had to buy authentic 7 Installation Pro discs and an authentic and "NEVER used" 7Pro "Product Key", I would limit (I guess I mean activation, etc) if I do not have a certificate of authenticity?  (The seller messaged me that he has lost it.)

    In other words, y at - it an another code number on the sticker COST could also be necessary, or is the product key, the only code needed?

    (I know that 'lost' claim could mean that it is a scam, but I have already bid on it because the list claimed 'as new' [which eBay defines to mean "all aspects of the question are intact and flawless"] but only today I thought to ask questions about the COST and it's missing.)  (Sigh).

    eBay is a horrible place to buy computers and software. without a certificate of authenticity, it is most likely loaded with counterfeit windows. seen all the time with unsuspecting buyers, you wonder why their windows is not genuine. Suppose if you continue you will need to buy a license from a retailer is legitimate.

    Hi, I'm America Reef

    I am just concerned about the Windows 7 Home Premium product key,

    "You see I wanted to do a new Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop, my neighbor had a copy of the OS installation disc, but I don't know it would be illegal to install it on my computer because it is already used or installed, as well as Microsoft only limit to a" a computer, an Installation "policy.

    Is the Question that I would ask, if I'm using Installation disc for Windows 7 Home Premium my neighbor and it has its own product key, but I already had my own product key which is authentic, because it came with my before buying computer, think you that I have to use my OWN KEY or PRODUCT KEY TO THE installation DISK which I borrowed a neighbour of mine?

    ALWAYS use the key that belongs with the machine being installed.
