Product key valid not recognized during installation.

How to approach with a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on my laptop after a disk failure hard and replacement when the software tells me that the product key is not valid?  It's the same one I used as the program was purchased online directly from Microsoft?  The product key has been verified since the original email from Microsoft that have accompanied the purchase online.  The product key entry has been tried several times and verified as having been entered correctly.  However, the problem remains.

Thank you

  • Foreign key constraint, not recognized during the synchronization of data with the model dictionary

    Hello

    Data Modeler is a foreign key constraints do not recognize when synchronizing data with the model dictionary, although the foreign key is there (in the database that a data dictionary is read). I can't find any criterion when a foreign key is not recognized by the Data Modeler. Are there limits to the length of the attribute, or the number of columns in a foreign key, or other limitations which may lead to this behavior not to recognize a fk by Data Modeler? I have columns more than 32 characters. I compared with the fk is recognized by DM, but I can't find anything that indicates why it is not recognized.

    I wonder if someone also has constraints of foreign keys that are not recognized in the comparison of data bases and model?

  • Failure of Windows 8 install, now the Windows 7 product key is not recognized, because it was an upgrade only.

    After several attempts of downloaded installation windows 8, I ended up with a useless and made desktop resettlement using my windows disc 7. Now, the product key for my windows 7 is recognized as a key to upgrade only and does not have to satisfy to MPA.  Where is my satisfaction? I have 30 days to resolve. Either I need a key for my 7, or a facility for my 8. Everything on my end, that I could find online tried. I think this is a Microsoft problem and the solution must come from them.

    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.

    the floppy USB drive drive and prompts the user for the driver (RAID) again.
    The installation will never reach this point. ]

    Solution:

    This is a limitation of Microsoft, the Floppy Drive are do not appear in the file Windows 'txtsetup.sif.

    Simply change the floppy drive in another brand and avoid Usb 2.0 external Usb floppy plus old 1 Try
    Also note the back of drive sometimes they write (no bootable) avoid this also

    I personally Test this and it does not work it is "IBM Portable floppy drive" drive silver

    Hello

    your machine has a RAID controller, so before installing windows, you must install the RAID controller before. This occurs after you´ve began installing XP. Then a message on the bottom of the screen will appear that tells you that you must press F6 if you install HARD drive controllers (or something that way).
    You need to install the RAID driver from a USB floppy drive, which can be downloaded here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    After you have installed the driver for your drive HARD will be displayed, and you would be able to install XP.
