Qty 9 Vista > Windows 7 licenses

How can I get Qty 9 Windows 7 licenses for Vista OEM computers & detail 9?

I have 9 computers running genuine Vista Home Premium (32-bit 5, 4 64 bit) licensed. I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. (A clean install is ok if a place in the upgrade is not an option). I did Digital River 32 - bit and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium discs. So I think that I now only need Windows 7 Home Premium licenses?

Most of the computers are OEM (HP, Dell) but 3 computers had installed retail Windows (non OEM) and 1 was an upgrade on the spot of XP to Vista. Will be the licenses that I find work any installation of Vista was already installed? I am not concerned by the assumption, only the licenses that I get to be recognized and authenticated during the installation.

What would be the best (cheapest) way for me to get the licenses I need? I prefer not to buy physical media of retail packages that sell usually for $90 - $99 which is almost $1,000 and they are all old computers. I found a place online selling 'Download only' licenses for $55, which seems to be a reasonable investment to keep these computers going a few more years. I've never bought only before licenses. Is a reasonable price of $55, or is there a way easier, cheaper or better? How much would be volume licensing become an option?

Finally, if I do a fresh install can I take the 32-bit Vista systems and make all 7 computer 64-bit Windows systems by installing simply with the 64-bit key? This way I could end up with 9 computers all running Windows 7 64 bit that would make things a little easier.

Last question: a license of Windows 7 can be used to install Windows 7 on a computer that was originally XP? Currently, the computer in question has no OS installed but has a valid XP COA sticker and installation disk original XP (Dell OEM XP SP2 "Reinstall operating system drive").

Thank you for answering my questions of license.

You know what this site is selling? MSDN/TechNet licenses:

On MSDN or TechNet product key

They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.

In your case, what can happen, you buy a MSDN license key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sells you probably eventually sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use.

  • Should I install Vista Ultimate on all computers laptops before moving on to a 3 Windows 7 license three?

    I'm considering the purchase of three laptops for home use and the case I've seen is for three laptops without operating system. I prefer Windows 7 64 - bit Windows 8 and, of course, need a license of user-3. I don't mind if it's Home Basic, Home Premium, professional or ultimate edition, but an 'Upgrade' will work and if not, what would? I have a spare disk Vista Ultimate, which I have not used more than once when I tried the upgrade to XP and didn't like it, so I went back to XP (present under Windows 7 Ultimate for my main PC) Vista has been in the area since then. I hope I did not install Vista Ultimate on all computers laptops before moving on to 3 Windows 7 license, three but I have a feeling vague feeling that I have to do exactly this. You confirm please?

    Original title: clean install on the new laptop

    Just keep in mind that the OEM versions are equipped with the installation media DVD 32-bit or 64-bit (not both as a retail version) and a product key.

    Also the OEM versions are related to the first card of mother/computer it is installed on and cannot be moved to another PC.

    The cost of an OEM version is much cheaper than commercial versions, especially since Microsoft stopped selling Windows 7.

    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-keywords=Windows+7

    As laptops have no OS installed, you need a way to test the system before you try to install an OEM version. I've provided two links to download Windows 7 Home premium (not), but you can install (install without a key) and it allows to test each laptop computer before installing an OEM version.

  • Windows 98 license number

    can anyone answer me on this issue of license? My application needed to run on windows 98, but because Windows 98 is selling to the market, can we just install to use it without buying any license? or can buy us Windows 7 license, then install Windows 7 and Windows 98 together? Or how to fix this?

    Hello Ming21

    You cannot install Windows 98 without a product key and the key for Windows 7 will not work under Windows 98. However, you can use the compatibility mode to try to get apps for Windows 98 work under Windows 7. View the links below to understand how.

    question 1 - can I use the license and bought Windows Pro 8.1 installer from the Microsoft store? I'm not sure about this, because what they acknowledge are users of Windows 7 and XP.

    You cannot use the wizard upgrade in OS X. You will need to download it to a Windows-based computer that is running Windows 7 or Vista and create a. ISO file you need to transfer to OS X.

    2nd question - in case, I wanted to uninstall and remove my windows partition 8 (bootcamp) and use it for another time, but on the same computer and with the same method (bootcamp), can I re-use my license key?

  • Satellite U940 - 12 c: Windows 8 license code?

    Hello.

    I own a Toshiba Satellite U940 - 12 c. Due to a sequence of horrific circumstances, I'm done with a laptop without Windows 8 and without access to the recovery partition. If there is no idea of how to make to access these data recovery, please tell me.

    But the question is: How can I get my copy of Notepad of Windows 8 license code? Is it possible?

    Thank you and goodbye.

    If you can access the recovery partition on ordinary road, there is no other way to do and saved on your laptop recovery image is useless. It is a pity that you n t have created a recovery media that could be used for a clean install of Win8.

    Maybe you don't believe this, but the license key is also useless and cannot be used for a clean install of Windows. This code is part of the original pre-installed version you got with your laptop.

    Best option for you is to order the original recovery disk and use it for Win8 installed. You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
