• Code product key? had reboot my computer and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop

  Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes.  If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.

  If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help.  Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs).  A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem.  And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).

  I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.

  Good luck!

  Hi, Monica.

  How to request a new product key

  If you don't have the product key to your Windows operating system but still have the original disc, you can request a replacement of Microsoft product key for $10USD.

  You need to have a valid product key to install Windows. Your only alternative is to buy a new copy of Windows it will hurt at least try to get an inexpensive replacement of Microsoft.

  Follow the instructions below to request a new product key for Windows 7, Vista or XP Windows:

  Difficulty: Easy
  Time: Request a replacement of Microsoft product key will probably take you about 20 minutes.

  Here's how:

  1. Determine whether your copy of Windows is a copy retail or preinstalled copy:

     Retail: Your copy of Windows is a copy retail if you or someone else has bought Windows as a stand-alone software and then installed on your computer. Your copy of Windows can also be a copy retail if it came on your new computer and that your computer was delivered to a small manufacturer. Proceed to step #3.

     Pre-installed: Your copy of Windows is a pre-installed copy if it was already installed when you purchased your new computer. This is probably the case if you have a big brand PC and you have never installed yourself a new copy of Windows. Refer to the step #2.

     Other: If you have purchased or received a copy of Windows to your organization, company or other group, see step 2 but contact the issuing group instead.

  2. Contact your original computer manufacturer directly to request a new product key if Windows was preinstalled on your computer.

     If the manufacturer of your computer is not able to help you delivering a replacement for Windows product key, go to step 3. Microsoft may still be able to help.

  3. Contact Microsoft at (800) 936-5700.

     Note: It is the telephone number of Microsoft Support paid . Microsoft site advises that calls to technical support at this number will incur a charge of $40 to $60USD. You does not charge this amount to a call regarding a new product key.

  4. Follow the prompts to auto attendant correctly then you can speak to a customer service representative your missing product key.

     I could join a man after only three issues - not too bad, in my opinion.

  5. The Microsoft representative will take your contact information - name, phone number and address - email and then to ask for details about your problem.

     Tell the representative that you have your original CD/DVD Windows installation but need a replacement product key.

  6. Answer all questions asked of you. The representative of Microsoft can seek clarification on your installation disc of Windows, as the numbers around the inner circle of the CD/DVD and know what words or images that may or may not be on the disk.

     Microsoft asks these questions in order to verify that you have the installation disc is not hacked.

  7. Microsoft will take your credit card information after verifying that your installation media is genuine.

     This new Windows product key should cost you $10USD. Some readers even sent telling me that Microsoft doesn't have them pay nothing at all so they either change their policy or some people are just lucky!

• Microsoft representative then you will read your new product key and ask that you enter in the activation window to be sure, it creates a new installation code.

• He or she will then transfer you to the Center to activate by phone to complete the process activation of Windows.

  Note: If for some reason you are not able to get a replacement of Microsoft product key or the manufacturer of your computer and your copy of Windows is not installed (exclude you the product keys finder method), then your last course of action is to buy a new copy of Windows - Tim Fisher

• My product key is not be accepted after you have reinstalled Windows Vista.

  Using product keys Vista reinstallation (OEM)

  I reinstalled Vista after failing to fix some registry errors. I threw down the front product key I have re-installed, but it's a product key which is not accepted by MSFT.  Instead of 25 numbers as it requires, I wrote a 20 (and part it says OEM).

  It's good to upgrade to a version XP OEM Windows Vista and upgrade CD is not a product key. The XP CD has a product key, but of course Vista is not accepting it.  Apparently Vista stops working in 20 days, if I activate it. What is the product code I can use!

  Not worth it!

  Obviously the disk did not contain certificates appropriate for the key.

  Your SLIC table seems to be the appropriate injector to install a Vista, rather than installing a XP, so a recovery disk Dell to Vista so that the machine can very well work - and is much less expensive than buying a new license.

  Your best option, if it comes to having to purchase a new license, is to buy a copy of Windows 7 upgrade, it would be cheaper that a full version of Vista from Dell and would be transferable to another machine if he died. ($120 MS for Home Premium upgrade of XP/Vista). You can check compatibility first, just in case there is a problem - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

• I reinstalled windows 7 and its type such as a product key different as if that no longer works?

  I reinstalled windows 7 on my labtop and when I type in the product key for windows acctivivate and its saying enter a different product key or get help online ive reinstalled before and it was ok? is there a limited number

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

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the 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.

• Product key to reinstall vista

  I currently have a functional pc with vista.  However I need to reinstall vista to fix some problems, but I don't have the original documents that came with my PC.  How can I get the product key or other codes necessary to reinstall vista from the recovery discs?  The disks were recently obtained from the bridge and do not have my key on them.

  Hello

  Control Panel - system - the bottom of the page - can take a minute or two to appear.

  These other methods must also resolve the problem if needed.

  Your product code must be on the CD/DVD provided with the device or back/under the computer.

  If this isn't the case, they will find it for you. These are not cracks - they find your product key on your machine.

  Hey Bjarnikr

  If you have already reinstalled vista and you don't know the product key we can not help you

  If you had contacted these forums before you reinstalled vista we helped you with key finder programs

  but as this is a new installation of vista not activated we cannot help you find the product key

  If it is preinstalled, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them about recovery disks

  normally, they do not require you to select a product key when you use them to reinstall vista

  you don't say how you reinstalled vista

  and a vista license = a vista installation

  and the oem licenses cannot be transferred to another machine

  the retail license can be transferred, but that only one installation per license is allowed at any time
