• Expression Studio product key problem on re - install

  I lived all the help from microsoft and supported sites and forums (and several others) and there are questions similar but although I can work on them (all sources) what's going on I can't find an answer, and the only way I can get the support of Microsoft is to pay for it because of this problem , emailing them led it is suggessted I ask here so sorry if I am repeating something already asked but I really don't know what else to do.

  I bought Studio Expression a couple of years ago for my daughter (the memory blurred here but I am sure it's the version 1 but has been upgraded via download on 2 as a special microsoft encouragement - as they do now for 3-4).  It has been installed and works very well then the hard drive has not changed, re-installed and all worked fine again until a few weeks ago when problems of memory led to one perfect reformat and re-install. Studio expression re will not activate as it claims that my product key is not valid. I also can't support since it requires my product key and said "there is a problem" with him when I entered it.

  Expression Studio now seems running on the 60-day trial license, I need to find a way to overcome this problem without having to hand over my credit card data to microsoft for support.

  I had already decided to update its version (she uses it because his school do and they are still using version 2) but in no way can I do if the reason why I came to understand of what is correct.

  My pc is custom made and as such comes with no software installed and so I buy all my separately from the software, it is not the OEM versions.  I have Windows Vista 64-bit on the affected system and everything worked very well on that front.

• Upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium (not the valid product key problem) to Windows 7 Home premium

  My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

• Office 2007 product key problem

  Hi guys,.

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop (that of £329.99) and I try to activate my Office 2007.

  Office 2007 pre-installed with my laptop; If the product key was written on the bottom of my laptop.

  Well, I have this Poduct Key 25 character entered my Office 2007 (when he invites me to do), but he repeated to me that it is incorrect, then I CERTAINLY know that it was the key to accurate product that was written on the bottom of the laptop.

  Is there something wrong, that I could do that I don't know?

  Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?

  Kind regards

  Brown bread

  Hello

  The product at the bottom of the device key does not belong to Office 2007!
  It is up to the operating system that was preinstalled on your laptop and it is an OEM key that only work with the operating system comes with the laptop!

  As I m not wrong not Office 2007 pre-installed on your laptop is a trial version.
  Check exactly in the operating instructions!

• OE upgrade and product key problem

  I want to upgrade vista to windows 7 on my HP laptop. However, when I enter my product key for vista, I receive a message that is not valid. The software is the original that was on the computer when you bought it. What should I do?

  Hello

  There was a free update of Vista 7 years ago, but this offer has expired for a long time.

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program runs since June 26, 2009 by January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

• Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

  Dear Toshiba support,

  My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

  Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

  Thanks for any help.
  Marcin

  Hi marcinziel
  You are lucky to have a product key sticker (COA).
  Some people have had success with the digitization of the AOC and using software to improve the image.
  This year I bought a R50 Pro of the Satellite with Windows 7 pro and I can't find a sticker (COA) about it.
  Toshiba help you with your product key problem?
  I'm still waiting for a response from Toshiba.

• Need to exchange the product key of Windows 7 with Windows XP

  Hi... I bought a windows 7 Professional, but I use windows xp pro... the problem is that the product key of windows 7 will not work on windows xp... I have a program that works under windows xp and so I need to activate my windows xp... is it possible that microsoft will grant a scholarship or exchange of product keys?

  Original title: product key problem

  I would say no, but you never know unless you ask. If you do not, contact the Head Office of your area, but don't do it with any hope of a positive outcome.

  You can run "XP mode" in Windows 7 Professional, who can make such a useless Microsoft request...

  You receive an error message after you enter the product key when you try to install Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310637

  Note: The product key you use must be used with the correct disk version. You must use the disc that came with your license.

  For example, if you have an OEM license, then this license can be used only with a Pro XP OEM disc. OEM licenses are licenses that come with your computer, usually the product key is stuck on the side or at the top of the computer, or a laptop.

  If you have a retail license, you must have a retail XP Pro Version. Retail licenses are FPP (full packaged product) and often have the license on a yellow or orange sticker.

  If you have an enterprise license (Volume License), you must have a Corporate Version of the XP Po. These are usually only available for large networks.

  The license sticker will be a version, it is an example for an OEM version: X 11-37156

  

  Make a note of your version and find the disk corresponding to this version.

  A product key can be activated a limited number of times, if your product key has been activated before it can be reactivated as long as it is to be reinstalled on the same machine. Reactivation must be made by phone, if not, you need to change the product key.
