Product key sticker is not readable, what can I do?
Hi, I reinstalled windows vista on my laptop, but it has stopped working. I bought windows vista with laptop a few years ago. The sticker key on my laptop is in bad shape and I can read only 3 sets. Is there a way I can get this key? I'm not sure but maybe I had also registered my product with MS also. A way to recover these data? etc.
Any help is appreciated.
If you reinstaledl using recovery discs/partiton, there should be no need to use the key from the COA - what drive did you use?
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

Product key sticker is not readable
Hi my name is marius I lost the cd key stiker for activation of windows, it is very baddly affected and I can't read from it... I have my cd of windows and product s/n, which can do?
Help, please
If the program is still installed, run the program using this product key in a work PC (even if only safe mode with networking), and then use Belarc Advisor to get the product key for the system:http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html (assuming it wasn't an OEM installation).
If it is not installed, then there is no way to recover the product key. Without it (even with the CD and serial number), you will not be able to activate. It is possible that the computer manufacturer willl help you if the OS came with the computer - but probably only with a discount or recovery discs (for a fee) because they do not have the product keys to distribute (and if they did, they have probably gone now for Vista since Windows7 has been released and is in most new computers).
Here is the Microsoft policy about lost or missing software: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Vista product key sticker is worn. How can I get code?
my friend has a Toshiba Satellite phone that she bought from a retailer in the United Kingdom. Vista stopped booting and I checked the hard drive that has no bad sectors. It seems that I need to reinstall Vista, but the product key sticker is affixed to the underside of the computer and some of the numbers are worn. Looking carefully with a magnifying glass class I seem to have 21 out of what looks like 24 digits.
Anyone know how I can get the rest of the code? I have all the other codes from beneath the laptop. This includes the serial number of the laptop and the number that is greater than the activation key and bar codes.
In any case a round of applause for the one who puts the sticker under the laptop, where it must obviously be carried away.

Current situation for laptops. More recent, some manufacturers are put it in the compartment to batteries or if I hear.The activation key will be 5 sets of 5 characters. You write what you can now.Contact Toshiba and explain the situation. See if they will give new keys (which I doubt.) If this is not the case, contact Microsoft by using the information in this article:This is the site for telephone contacts in lieu of product keys. -

I have a product key and the envelope but cannot know what product he's going too. Is it possible to determine what product it fits? The product key sticker is orange/yellow color and has an icon of key PRODUCT KEY followed by: and a beginning product key of 25 characters with FGXMQ...
Unfortunately, no. What has happened to the software installation disc which is supposed to come with the product key?

Product key sticker not readable
Hello
Need help with my product key sticker. My friend gave me his HP Netbook that has Windows 7 Starter edition is installed. The sticker that has the code on it is attached at the bottom of the computer, and therefore, I can't read the third channel of information... I can read as follows: ABCDE - SON-JK? MNOPQ-RSTUV. The? are at the door of the letters on the product key sticker. I found the CD key in the registry, but that the CD key is different from what is on the sticker, because I think it is came with Windows 7 Starter and Windows update it took for SP1. How can I do as I want this info before upgrading the operating system in case it is needed.
Thank you
MMHello
We cannot help you find what is the product key.
We can ARICI give you information to help you reinstall and activate this operating system of Windows Starter.
As it's a Netbook, it shouldn't have a DVD player.
But it will be a Partition to reinstall Windows 7 from recovery.
You can do this passing through HP Recovery Manager or by pressing F11 at STARTUP.
It is all explained in the link to HP
The product key that you found in the operating system's product key which is used on several machine during the production of the factory and is useless for purposes of resettlement.
It's nothing to do with the SP1.
See you soon.

Original title: product key
Hello
I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help if I can send a photo to show him what it's like. I formatted my laptop and he asks the authentic copy. I really need help coz 2 days left to activate.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.
Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation. You can also use a magnifying glass.
If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file. However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

I had the teacher edition, but never received an email with the details of the product, etc. and the products are not installed (they ask for product key, etc)... What are you doing?
Hello
did you purchase your product of these companies like Amazon? If Yes, this isn't a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please take a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The next part, so I don't see at the very least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything happens in the link above. I leave as an info yet, he could still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through your Adobe Store and find the button "get serial number". Fill in the form and after awhile, you will get the real serial number.
