  • Problem of activating Windows 7: for the upgrade product key

    Hi there I had to replace my drive hard when he died, so I installed windows 7 on it instead of upgrade of vista because I never had a vista disk when I bought the laptop, but when I went to turn it on he told me that the key was invalid because it was only for the upgrade.  Is it possible to fix this problem or get a new free activation key since I already paid for the upgrade?

  • After disk hard crash, loaded Windows 7 and get "Software Licensing Service determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations.

    Original title: Windows Vista product key used for any new installation.

    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.

  • HP Pavilion DM1 - 4200sa: where can I find the product key Windows 10?

    Where can I find the Windows 10 product key for the upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 to 10?

    Windows 10 uses 'digital right '.

    If you try to switch to 10 Windows from Windows 7 or 8 and try to do a clean install of ISO created media you find you need a product key that you do not.  The only way to do this successfully is to use the option upgrade of software downloaded using the tool of media Windows 10.  PC Worldhave highlighted that in Windows utility 10 as Magical Jelly Bean Key Finder or Belarc Advisor find the keys to generic product instead of faith.

    Windows Pro 10 key users will see KeyFinder or Belarc Advisor: VK7JG NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T.

    In 10240 build if you use the PowerShell script of Hexus forumson Windows 10 Pro he must fetch it: T44CG-JDJH7-VJ2WF-DY4X9-HCFC6.

    Microsoft uses now, apparently, a process called 'digital right' , which is stored in the BIOS so if you replace your motherboard, for example, your 'digital right' will probably disappear and will not activate Windows 10.

    So, before making any change sure to self-organization of backup!

    Trusted sites to buy the product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?

    Windows 7 product keys are not sold separately, any site claiming to sell Windows 7 product keys are sold separately no doubt hoarded non-genuine product keys from TechNet and MSDN subscriptions.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):
