  • My system crashed, I reinstalled Windows 7, now Microsoft asks that I purchase a new license

    Built my own computer and bought Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Installed it and everything went well.  I installed a software that eventually crashed my system, I did a clean install of my Windows 7 Pro.  Now MS tells me that I have to buy a new license.  He thinks that my old installation is done on another computer (I've added a new material since - maybe if I get out?).

    Of course, I will not buy another license - this is the same computer.

  • New license/key required for DOWNLOADED products there are several years which had to be put back in place... E-mails had the license keys, HDD, crashed with no saved emails

    Re-installed PSE10 of backups.  Product purchased/downloaded several years ago. Key series came in a subsequent e-mail. Had installed new hard drive and vista yesterday with no copy of these emails. How can I get a license key again (probably should be new)?

    Right now my PSE10, the Prime Minister and LR say all tests 30 days even if they were purchased. Adobe will give me the new, and how to contact them directly for the latter?

    I don't think that it counts as piracy, since I already have a copy of Vista installed, I just want something to reinstall with. What other options can I without spending money to repair the windows installation without any CD on a laptop Acer Aspire 55702Z?]

    The version of Windows Vista that is available for download seems to be pirated.  In all cases, you can not activate it with your computer OEM product key.  As this web page says you need to purchase a license and get a genuine product key.

    Contact Acer and ask a legal installation for your computer model DVD.

  • Inspiron 3650 comes with Win10PRO. What is the procedure to downgrade rights WITHOUT having to purchase a new license of Win8.1pro?

    Hello

    just bought 4 3650's with preinstalled Win10pro inspiron. For enterprise applications, I need to win8.1pro must be installed on the machines. Microsoft (and Dell) claim the right to downgrade grnat to the pro version of Win10 to Win8.1 pro (what I need)

    Is there someone who has the correct procedure to do? I called dell and Microsoft every day without success :-(

    Concerning

    Well, I followed the method of downgrade described by Philip Yip and during the telephone conversation with Microsoft active rep my new installation of Windows 8.1 pro.
    Here's what you need to do:
    1 extract you Windows 10 Pro BIOS key using produkey-64. Write it down.
    2. go to the Microsoft web site to create a true Windows 8.1 Pro installation support: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8?wa=wsignin1.0
    3. do a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro using the generic key mentioned above in the post by Philip Yip
    4. Alick to activate Windows, and then select telephone Activation
    5. call using the number displayed in the activate dialog box
    6. Microsoft representative say that ' you have Windows 10 Pro and you want to run your downgrade rights to Windows 8.1 Pro»
    7. they will ask you your key Windows 10 Pro to make sure it is valid and will confirm that you have the right to downgrade
    8. after that, they could connect to another representative - repeat what you mentioned in step 6
    9. they will ask you installation ID
    10. after that they'll ask you which key you used - tell them generic key
    11. Finally in my case instead of telling me the activation ID - they gave me a new product key for Windows 8.1 Pro who, after entering got my Pro 8.1 active Windows.
    Maybe in your case - they will give you an activation code.

    In any case - it's fully working method.

    need you use Chrome for my browser, but it stops working after about three access. I used Superantispywear eliminator, and it works again for three access. Then I did an uninstall for Chrome and reinstalled. This aggravated my problem because I can not uninstall Chrome more. I can still access my Chrome apps via a different browser, but I can't uninstall Chrome more and I can't use it. Can I uninstall the program piecemeal, but if I use the app in the Control Panel, then he said: I need to quit all instances of Chrome used.

  • I need to reinstall Windows Vista on a computer with a new motherboard.

    My three year, HP Pavilion m9047c PC is dead. $200 and a new mother Brd and it is alive but mute. It does not accept my recovery disks. The technology said that I should call MS. help, please

    What 'tech' did the job?  In order to use the HP recovery disks, HP must have a HP motherboard.  If the installed 'tech' a card mother of Mark non-HP, then the HP recovery discs do not work.  Instead, you will need to purchase a new license of Windows.  You can consider installing Windows 7.  Example: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit - OEM.
