Product key not working only not this time, still

Microsoft sent me a new CD of windows XP Pro. Earlier because my original was scratched. I've had several opportunities to use it and sometimes the product key works fine then others they want to work. Sometimes it's with lowercase and sometimes works on top of case. What is going on?

This forum is for Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Hello

    My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal? I can't see it anywhere, should I worry?

    Some laptops, like my Envy 17-3002ea loan, have the certificate of authenticity Windows hidden in the compartment where the hard drive and the battery are.  First try.

    Other portable latest and which may include yours, have the Windows license key encrypted in the BIOS.  There is a thread on the Microsoft communities that verifies that. The thread is worth reading.

  • ToolBoxTools.addEventListener works only every second time

    Hello!

    Our layouts often enough by clicking on the tool 'page' in error, and it's happened several times, that it changes the size of the page without even noticing. Because there is no way to remove the tool from the toolbar (I guess?), I want to write a script, which displays at least a message that the page tool ("Seitenwerkzeug" in German) has been selected. Unfortunately, the event listener works only every second time:

    1 indesign begins > selection tool is active

    2. click on the tool page > message > tool page is active

    3. click on "another outil1" > "other outil1" is active

    4. click on "other tool2" > "other outil1" is active

    5. click on the tool page > nothing happens, page tool icon is active, but the 'tool2 another' icon is still active, too, and 'another tool2' is always on

    6. click on "other tool3" > "other tool3" is active

    7. click on the tool page > message > tool page is active

    8. ......

    No idea why this is?

    My script:

    #targetengine myToolListener

    app.toolBoxTools.addEventListener ("afterAttributeChanged", changeToolAlert);

    function changeToolAlert() {}

    If (app.toolBoxTools.currentToolName == "Seitenwerkzeug") {}

    Alert ("Message", "Title");

    }

    Exit(); I tried with and without this!

    }

    At first, I tried to use a confirmation message instead of an alert, who had the same problem and I thought it would be because the change does not work... but it seems that I can't yet work with information without something to 'crash' in the background?

    My previous confirm function:

    function changeToolConfirm() {}

    If (app.toolBoxTools.currentToolName == "Seitenwerkzeug") {}

    var confirmDialog = confirm ("You want to activate the page tool?", true);

    {if(!confirmDialog)}

    app.toolBoxTools.currentTool = UITools.SELECTION_TOOL;

    }

    }

    }


    I really hope someone has an idea

    Best,

    Anke

    Hi Anke,

    The problem, I think, comes from the fact that the Page Tool selection event (which you listen via afterAttributeChanged) needs time to complete. Since alert() and confirm() education gives focus to a new modal window before the event lifecycle is completed, the GUI becomes unstable, state icon described is not properly restored and your event management does not.

    One way to solve this problem would be a temporary queue listener IdleEvent once the Page Tool selection event is taken. In other words, we do not start one any modal dialog box as long as the GUI is refreshing.

    Something like this:

    //====================================================
    // PageToolDisclaimer.jsx
    //====================================================
    
    // Should be useable as a startup script, no #targetengine required
    // NB - MutationEvent is known to create a global 'evt' variable
    // so we don't seem to need a persistent session engine here :-)
    // That's why the active script File is used as the event handler
    
    (function(/*File*/EVENT_HANDLER, /*str*/TASK_NAME, /*uint*/TASK_TIME, /*str*/PAGE_TOOL_NAME)
    {
        var t;
    
        // Installer
        // ---
        if( !(t=app.toolBoxTools.eventListeners).length )
            {
            t.add(MutationEvent.AFTER_ATTRIBUTE_CHANGED, EVENT_HANDLER);
            return;
            }
    
        // IdleEvent handler (--> confirm)
        // ---
        if( (t=app.idleTasks.itemByName(TASK_NAME)).isValid )
            {
            t.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
            t.remove();
            if( !confirm("***WARNING***\rDo you really want to activate the page tool?", true) )
                {
                app.toolBoxTools.currentTool = UITools.SELECTION_TOOL;
                }
            return;
            }
    
        // PageTool event handler
        // ---
        if( ('evt' in $.global) && 'currentToolName'==evt.attributeName && PAGE_TOOL_NAME==evt.attributeValue )
            {
            evt.stopPropagation();
            app.idleTasks.add({name:TASK_NAME, sleep:TASK_TIME})
                  .addEventListener(IdleEvent.ON_IDLE, EVENT_HANDLER);
            }
    })(app.activeScript, 'WaitPageTool', 400, app.translateKeyString('$ID/Page Tool'));

  • Windows 7 32 bit version product key - where can I get this (UK)?

    Windows 7 32 bit version product key - where can I get this (UK)?

    Product keys are not sold separately, "retail" versions of Windows are products in box with installation support 32 and 64 Bit and plastic a card inside the box that contains the key. Anyone who sells the right key is most like a crook.

    Since Microsoft stopped selling Windows 7 about 2 years ago, it is very unlikely, you can find media "Retail".

    OEM versions (which are related to the 1st computer they are installed / activated on and can not be moved / used on another computer) but may still be available.

  • Product key not working only not for the upgrade from Windows 7 starter to win 10

    I have two Asus EEEPCs came with Windows 7 Starter.  The product key is on the bottom of the devices.  And they are completely legible.   4 years ago by ish and over the years the installations of Windows crashed, one of them, I installed Linux, the other, I played a bit with the installation of Android.  Today, I have upgraded to Windows 10 for each of them, wipe the disk and did a full install from USB.  One of them was perfectly, the second installation won't take the period key, the product license.  I even tried to change the characters only TWO that could be incorrect due to friction vs O Q and still nothing.   is there a way to send an image of the product key to Microsoft and someone to tell me what the heck is wrong with it?

I don't know what to do because I tried online but the confirmation code doesn't show on my new laptop.  Please can you help me

    1. the Microsoft Office came with the computer is a TRIAL version. Good for 60 days ONLY.
    2. trial verson, as you say, comes pre-installed. It doesn't have a product key. It is already enabled.
    3. explain what you mean "I bought Microsoft Office product key". How did you bought it? Separately in an electronics store?
    4. maybe your product key is for your operating system? It is not the same as the Microsoft Office product key. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

    I have re installed windows7 and product activation key is not accepted. Message says key is valid only for the upgrade. What should I do now?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before 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.

  • Windows 7 product key not recognized by windows

    I have the HP dv6-3122us laptop with windows 7 Home premium preinstalled with Office Starter 2010 reason for all the problems of the system listed in convenience stores, that I ended up having to restore the default values. Would not install until through a guru on this forum post, I could finally restore from disk by removing the battery. I don't know what happened but when finally restored the hard drive used 57 GB of my drive and shows not all disks on my laptop. It shows a lot of files when pulled upwards, but originally before the resstore, there were only about 8 GB used. My other problem is that it asks my product key to activate windows and does not recognize the one I provided with the PC says that I might have to buy another key. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Also my guarantee for the PC is no longer valid. Micorsoft says to contact the manufacturer, the manufacturer says to contact Microsoft. All diagnostics say there is nothing wrong, but OH YES it is!

    It won't work because the product key has been for an OEM different to install your trying to install a retail business instead of OEM product key which will not work. That's why your do pass this message. What version of Windows you are trying to re - install? When you reinstalled you wipe the HARD drive and the partition hidden as well? Maybe when you reinstall again to install the Windows 7 home premium and who should install. Put it this way you have Home Premium and no future install disc you use will have to be Home Premium to use the product key that is located on the sticker on your laptop. You do not get to use the product key for Windows 7 Ultimate version, it works that way or or she will let you.

  • 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?
