• Microsoft Store not to issue new product key for Windows 7 Ultimate, but it is has been fully paid for

  I bought a laptop Sony Viao on 19 October 2012.  This laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional.  I used the ease of upgrade to upgrade Windows at the ultimate addition.

  Since October 19 Microsoft doesn't have to issue a new serial number of the product.  My account status indicates that the order is underway.  It does not help to make a call of support for the call numbers eventually gets cut off, because it seems that the Microsoft call center staff is completely clueless about how to solve my problem.
  They have the audacity to tell me to buy a new update.  When I try to activate I just invited to enter a new product key that the existing key is not valid.
  I'm at the point where I'll try to find a pirated product key, because I WILL NOT BUY a new product key and pay for something that I'm supposed to have.  I put challenge Microsoft to report me to tell them I'll be using a pirated key until they solve this problem.
  For the moment is Microsoft who stole money from me, and I'll just steal it back.
  I tried to get help, but your support infrastructure is just completely and totally unnecessary.

  I bought the upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Vista CD, then had a hard drive crash, then installed a new hard drive. Load the purchased Windows 7 on new hard drive, now I get the message '... Software Licensing Service determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations. That means that I have to load Vista on the new hard drive, and then update? Both for the end user (paying customer) hostile.

  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.

• Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

  Original title: invalid product key :(

  Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.
