XP is not available as a retail sale. You must speak with Volume Licensing.

  • How long the license key latest for Windows Vista

    The other day a person allegedly from Microsoft phoned to tell me that my activation license has expired and that my computer has been damaged by a virus that kept sending error messages. As my license has expired, they were not able to fix the problem and I had to pay £70.00 to renew and to help more of them, otherwise my PC was getting more slower and slower all day. I hung up. But it got me thinking, it was a spam?

    All the Licenses for Windows retail (including upgrades) are transferable to the new machines (in the case of an upgrade it will still a qualifications base on the new machine license) and are actually eternal - at least until there is no material more around which it will run.

    OEM licenses are locked to the first machine on which they are turned on - but finally done as the motherboard (and the replacements of vices).

  • Purchased a product key for Windows 7 Professional, but you must enter a different product key activation

    My laptop came with a Windows 7 Basic program trial and the trial ended so I bought a product key for Windows 7 Professional, because I got a discount on that student. When I try to activate it, it says I need to enter the product key for what I already use but I don't know the key to it. What am I doing here? Do I have to buy a product key for my Windows 7 original also?

    Windows 7 Home Basic Edition is not a trial.

    Is the Windows 7 Professional a full, level or Express upgrade?

    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.

    Hello

    My Plan is to install Adobe Indesign CS 5.5 on a Windows Client. The license is now for mac. But I have a windows system.

    In the FAQ, it says "contact us" I tried so hard to start a conversation, but there is no one who can answer. This 'I am Adobe autocorrect-automation your Question thing' doesn't work @ all.

    Does anyone have a number or an e-mail message from Adobe? Or the answer to my Question?

    CS 5.5 has support forum only.

    The platform is made for the current version. It will be best to move to the current version of Creative Cloud 2015.

  • Purchase new product key for Windows 7

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 on a computer by using the copy of the standard ISO I downloaded from Microsoft. Unfortunately, seems to have misplaced my product key and you will need to buy a new one. However, it seems that, with the release of Windows 8, Microsoft has removed the possibility to buy new keys for Windows 7. I'm not ready to update this particular machine for Windows 8 at this time. Is it possible that I can buy a new product key without buying a DVD of Windows 7? Thank you.

    Unfortunately, digital downloads are no longer available through Microsoft for some editions of Windows 7. You can always buy Windows 7 Professional from Microsoft Store.

    If you want another other than Windows 7 Professional edition, you must buy from a third party such as amazon.com

    Perhaps this screen explains more: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4538/immaginevfo.jpg
    I hope someone can help me (if someone understands how I speak English: S)

    Thanks, TheDarkTrainer

    Hi TheDarkTrainer,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

    I need more information to help you better.

    1. What is the brand and model of the card its installed on the computer?

    2 - is the first time you encounter the problem?

    For single channel sound cards, you will only be able to see the green bar for Master Volume control and not for other applications such as Windows Media Player.

    Controls on other applications are given to control the volume of the special request regarding the Master Volume control.

    For example, if you scroll the bar to set the Master Volume to 100% and then play a music file in Windows Media Player. You can try to open the mixer Volume and increase/decrease the volume for Windows Media Player, you will notice that the master control will set the green bar accordingly and don't let not the green bar to cross the bar of the Windows Media Player.

    If you disable the control Volume for Windows Media Player, it will automatically make the green bar will disappear from the Master Volume control.

    However, if you have several applications running on the machine at the same time and using the sound card, you can try to change the levels on different controls to see the effect.

    With several cards his channel as sound blasters, it would be possible to see the green bar on individual applications also.

    Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know

    Thank you & best regards

  • I bought Adobe Photoshop for Windows, but now I have a Mac. Can I change my version to download on my mac?

    I need to change my serial number of Windows to a Mac version.

    Hi bethanyu22054175,

    If you have recently purchased the perpetual license of Photoshop for Windows, then you can contact Adobe customer service.

    And then team will provide you with a new serial number for MAC and cancel the one for Windows.

    Or if it's the creative cloud, then you can install it on the Mac, as the members of Cloud are allowed to install Applications on 2 computers.

    Kind regards

You can only use a version of the Windows software at a time. Switching between versions you need to uninstall a version and install the other version.
