Product key not valid even if I use the CD that came with the computer!

• Uploaded image of Windows 7 Professional will not accept the product key that came with my computer.

  I have a Dell laptop, Studio, approximately 1 year, delivered with Windows 7 Professional installed - the label with the genuine product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. Shortly after I got it I deleted the recovery partition to make room for Linux installed next to Windows. I had problems with Windows system (mainly caused by me bad installation software and drivers without proper backups) so I decided to reinstall Windows. I had already deleted the recovery partition and wouldn't use it anyway because I prefer a clean system without unwanted from the manufacturer in this regard. I did not receive a Windows operating system installation DVD with my computer, so I downloaded a (64-bit Windows 7 Professional, the same as the original operating system) which already had SP1 on it (the version of Win7Pro installed Dell's not SP1). I installed Windows on this drive and attempted to activate using the product key that came with my computer, but it would not accept the key. I don't have time to try to solve this problem, but now the period of one month is up and my computer does not work correctly.
  I suspect that the problem may be due to me using the SP1 disc. If this is the case, should I reinstall Windows again? I have * NOT * GOING to buy another product key when I have already paid for a genuine version of Windows. I just want to be able to use my computer without the ridiculous slowdowns caused by pre-installed software and the way I chose.

  Thanks for any help with this problem, I really need fo fix my computer.

  original title: Activation error, Windows 7 Professional
  Windows product key: *-* - M3DJT - 4J3WC-733WD
  Windows license Type: OEM SLP

  The key to your report is your OEM SLP key which can not be activated. This isn't the key to COA.

  but the key I tried to use is what I copied on the COA the day I got the computer of the book where I put all the information on my computers.
  
  
  Is the product key in your book is the partial key in your report?
  You must change the product key to the one on your COA.
  Check your compartment of the COA.
  The other solution is to reinstall your Dell OEM recovery disks or recovery partition. This self will activate your computer.
  Additional information:

  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 the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  you use a key OEM SLP to win 7, which requires a bios compatible win 7 for activation of the auto. 20/06/2008 bios date is well before win 7 is out.

• Why is my desktop stop often randomly, at all hours of the day and night without prompting even when I use the computer. This is even though I changed the power option setting.

  Why is my desktop standby stop so often?

  It appeared sometimes several times per day or night. He stops consecutively, at random, at any time of day or night time. Even when I was with the computer, there is no incentive to me. The screen is blank. My computer nevers switch down. It's on 24/7-24 hours and 7 days, 365 days.

  It happened like this:

  1. you can hear the exhaust off the computer fan all of a sudden. There was no incentive. You can hear computer calmed down suddenly. The fan can be seen from the back of the grid of ventilation of the processor of the computer of the metal casing.

  2. the screen monitor suddenly stop. The screen is blank. The indicator light on the bottom of the screen of the monitor is always lit. He showed the monitor screen is on and running.

  3. When you look at the led on the computer, it is still lit. This shows that the computer has on photo and runnig. It is dormant, however.  He showed the computer CPU is entered in mode 'sleep'.

  4. whenever this judgment occurs, I would like to shut down the computer and restart the computer from scratch. I pressed the power button on the computer to stop it.

  5. I then press again the start/stop button to restart the computer, restart the computer, and then when she comes back to life, I clicked to restore sessions, and then I keep using the computer again.

  6. the process of restarting the computer was like that, as stops have been going like that for five months and is always like that, because I have been unable to solve. The point of contact in the power button is not more urgent are frequent.

  7. I changed the VGA cable as I said by a computer hardware that my problem could be due to the VGA cable is old, as in the VGA cable copper wire that feeds on the computer to the monitor screen can be broken or twisted, and so the video signals are not stable to feed the data to the screen of the monitor.

  8. Although I don't think that was the case, as my cable never touched the ground, or cluttered or kick or broken, I still went ahead to change the existing cable 15 pin VGA to 3 years with a new as it was only 3 males - the range of the cheapest I found in the shop costs...

  9. However, even if the VGA cable is changed, the stop is always the same, as before.

  10. on another month, I learned by my friend that I should change the setting in the computer mode 'sleep'.

  11. the new settings made in start/programs/system and Security / Option/power Power Plan/High Performance / 'Turn off display' to 'Never' and 'Put on the eve of the computer' to 'never '.

  12 even if I changed the setting of "Balanced (recommended) 'High Performance'" and two high-performance setting has been changed to "Never", the judgment fixed computer sleep mode, and as usual, no warning, the screen of the monitor erased.

  13. it seems the Option "power" and "Power Plan" and "Balanced" or "High Performance" in Windows 7 does not work. Window 7 does not in my computer.

  14. whenever I rebooted and restarted the computer, it is some normal time to see the operating system, repair files stop suddenly, before may be back from normal window of operation conditon.

  15. for more information,.

  My computer is not a brand. It was customized and installed. He bought two or three years ago. The use of the 350 GB hard drive is used by 50%. The computer in the past goes to sleep when there is no movement of the mosue for 15 minutes, or when not in use. He wakes up again when there mouse moves to restart the CPU and turn on the monitor screen.

  Now, he had problem with this kind of stop suddenly attack never wake up its "sleep" again during the month five, which I believe it was several viruses in the files of e-mail in the past months, and when it is very likely that I downloaded from CNET some cleaners or anti-spyware.  I don't know what problem is.

  I then withdrew them a month later of the program/Control Panel / uninstalled program. On the advice of my friend, I then changed version free download AVG.

  16. the information contained in the computer, start/program/computer/properties, gives the following information:

  It's Intel Core Due E7500 @ 2.93 Ghz, 4 GB of Ram, 32-bit operating system, windows 7 Home Premium, 2009.

  It is a Microsoft Firewall protection and is installed with fre download AVG anti-virus protection. He is shown to start/program/system and security / firewall /- and he said: 'Stat window firewall' is 'on '.

  17, finally, with the light of the foregoing, I would sincerely ask the Microsoft community to help solve this problem of closure. I would like to thank all the people in the community who can help me in advance here.

  18. I hope to hear your solutions with you. Thank you.

• Windows 7 Ultimate 64 k product key not valid after more than a year of use

  Initially, I bought a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 upgrade as a student version. My computer originally had Windows 98. ten years later my hard drive died, and I learned that you cannot reinstall a version upgrade. (beware of the free windows 10 UPGRADE). I bought a product key of the online Microsoft Store over one year in January of 2015. I have finally is broken down and bought the key because I was advised if I never had to do a Setup again that buying a key meant I could without any other expenditure. It seems to work fine until I recently got a message saying that my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 is not valid. I called the Microsoft store and they claimed to have no trace that I already bought the product key from their part. After a few unsuccessful attempts to locate the original mail, finally, I scored. I received an email from a Laura McBride in the Microsoft Online store, with a product key and a link to a file in Dropbox. So I tried to do a repair and reinstall by using the information in the email. The Dropbox file will not download to my Dropbox, it said its too big. It will not download to my computer as it says that the .zip is too large. I'm reaching here. What can I do next?

• Product key not valid on Vista Business

  I purchased 2 Toshiba Satellite about 2 years ago. They have every two Windows Vista Business preloaded and none of them has been altered in any way. They have both worked perfectly for about a year and it still works perfectly now.
  But the other suddenly decided that the Windows product key is not valid and I can't get Windows running except in reduced functionality mode.

  Could you please explain how this happens suddenly someone and what can be done to reverse the trend.

  Hello

  It's not explainable to me the Toshiba and OS recovery in this disc disc is already activated and does not need to be reactivated.

  I think that some damaged registry or affected Microsoft OS in a strange way updates

  I think that you could solve this recovery of the laptop using the Toshiba disc.
  Sorry mate, but that's all I can suggest

• Product key not valid with XP Home to Professional upgrade

  I'm upgrading two computers on a customer site of XP Home Edition for XP Professional so that they can participate fully in a windows domain.  The customer has already had two upgrade packs that were an old service pack (SP1 I think).  I can't upgrade using these disks because their home edition SP3.  I have XP Professional SP3 discs that seem Dell OEM but they give an invalid product key error.

  Do I have to get the upgrade of the disk with SP3 on them and if so do you have a source?

  "AlanGroves" wrote in message News: 5ad56eb2-6572-4420-9ff7-54c84666a20c...

  They are two Dell computers and XP Home Edition version that is on the computer is a Dell's OEM version.

  Upgrade doesn't happen even at activation.  It is on a initial screens before the upgrade began that he ask the product key.

  I am typing the correct characters - I've probably got at least 30 Microsoft software installs a month.

  You can try to get answers to my questions.

  Thank you

  You should be able to integrate the SP3 in the disks to upgrade and use.
  You will almost certainly not be able to use any OEM disks to do a clean install of SP3.
  You should be able to use standard OEM System Builder drives to clean - install a SP3 version, using the COA key - if not then enter any key to everything and the default key must be used. Once the installation is complete, use the product key update tool to change the key for the COA key.

• Why my product key not valid with an installation from another CD as the original?

  I had to reload a fresh install of Win XP on a Toshiba laptop. Given that the previous owner had lost the CD; I took one I had at home a try to install it on my laptop with laptop computer product key stuck under the laptop. but when I try to install said that it is a key of product not valid. This is false because before to format the laptop, it had windows XP installed with this product key and it worked fine. I sort of... ending up with the fact that the installation needs a corresponding product key... Am I wrong? If Yes, what can I do if I want to use my laptop product key and I don't have the Original CD of Installation?

  Thank you!

  You have installed using the installation XP bad disc. XP installation disks are related to the version of the operating system and the type of installation for each particular product key. You need to install either with the recovery media OEM Toshiba (best solution, solved by ordering the recovery disc from Toshiba for a little money - usually less than $30) OR a generic OEM installation disk for the version for installed XP (Home/Pro/Media Center).  If you use a generic OEM installation disc, then you will enter the product key for the thumbnail of the laptop. If you use a generic OEM install disc, then you should go to the Web from Toshiba site and download/install all the drivers and utilities for this laptop model. There is always a ton of them.

  To contact Toshiba support, buy recovery disks, do an install clean/restore factory with these discs. You won't need to enter a product key if you use the restore disks.

• Error message: product key not valid during activation of FSX Acceleration Pack

  Original title: problems to activate FSX Acceleration Pack

  Hello

  I bought 'FSX Gold edition' from a retailer which included FSX Deluxe (2 CD ROM) + FSX Acceleration Expansion Pack (1 CD ROM); the package was of course with the Microsoft seal unbroken. Inside the box of however, there was only a single activation code, saying clearly "FSX Deluxe.  FSX Deluxe activated perfectly, but I'm not able to activate FSX acceleration due to the absence of key I guess. I tried to use the same key as Deluxe, but it says it is invalid.

  I tried following the instructions of technical support, but they ask the number PI, that I wouldn't find anywhere in FSX Deluxe (which is already activated and good work) or FSX Acceleration (works only in mode activate later ).

  We could solve this here or should I go back to the retailer?

  Thank you for your attention.
