Re-activation of Vista Home premium

Hi, I uninstalled an activated copy of Home premium, I installed on my netbook (big mistake) I want now to use this license for my office refurbished, but it will not activate

If your computer is pre-installed with Vista or an OEM disk/license you bought yourself, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

    You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover.  I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it.  If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

  • Vista Home Premium Activation, product key blocked

    Hello
    I recently installed a new hard drive in my laptop. The laptop is an Acer and still has the Vista Home Premium COST below label, which was used to reinstall Windows.

    When I turn on my computer, I get a message saying that I need to activate windows before I can use my computer.

    I first tried to use online activation, but it does not - it asks me to type a different product key. But I only have one.
    Then I tried to use the automated phone system and was asked a support person. This person told me my product key had been locked, but she didn't know why, so I was then redirected to a representative of Genuine Advantage. I was talking to this person for about 15 minutes trying to get my product activated, but we had problems understanding eachother and he said that because I could not connect to windows (I can't get with reduced functionality) that he couldn't help me and that I would need to call 1800-936-5700.
    So, I tried calling that number who gave me, but when I call, I get a message saying that the number is not available and I should check to see if it is correct (perhaps the number is not available in Australia, I don't know).
    Then, a few days ago, I filled out an online assistance request that says take 1 day working to meet, but never heard talking back. :(

    Now I'm stuck with nowhere to where to go, then someone could please give me an idea how I can get my active Windows and go back to using my laptop.

    Thank you!

  • Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to ultimate upgrade

    Hi back from the guy with a new query.

    "" I'm looking to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate... checked the requirements of what is known on the "Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can you there is a lot of conflicting ideas on how its all done up to the fact that I would need a disc to upgrade mailed to me.

    After reading a few other forums recently, the answer lies in what you guys can or perhaps are not able to advise me... and the question is:

    Only the so-called "rescue disk" provided with the purchase, IE the Windows operating system disk... ALL CONTAIN THE ' VISTA "SYSTEMS AVAILABLE..." Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate? and very unlikely, but she coded upgrade or anything like that, as its meant to be to perform upgrades?

    Thanks a lot again in anticipation of your kind comments

    Andrew.

    Firs of all I think you should know that it is a forum for users and to my knowledge, there is no guy from Toshiba which could provide instructions.
    I know, it's, your Toshiba Recovery DVD contains the same Win Vista that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    It seems that you bought this laptop with Vista Home Premium and this operating system should be placed on the recovery media.

    Please DON t mix the Toshiba Recovery DVD with a DVD of new, original and clean Microsoft Vista.
    Toshiba Recovery contains an image include the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.
    It s already active.

    The MS Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista but to use a version of Vista that a right serial key must be inserted.

    Hope I could make a clarification.

  • Vista Home Premium SP1 Reboot loop infinite, inaccessible Windows restore

    Problem: Update marked Service Pack 1 (I do not know the real KB #) sent my computer in an infinite loop.  After a reboot "3 3 0% complete configuration updates / don't turn off computer" appears and the percentage continues to 100%, the system reboots and repeat.  I left the computer to update last night and now he has been yet updated this morning.

    Is trying to solve: I studied what I can on this problem.  I tried to access the system restore via the following methods:

    1. Shut down the computer, restart the Advanced Boot Options screen boot mode safe.  Result: after the appearance of the logo windows at startup, the screen returns to the screen "Update Configuration".  This is the case on 'Safe Mode', 'Safe Mode with networking' 'Last good known Configuration (Advanced)' and "Directory Services Restore Mode" I have not tried other options in the screen options start
    2. Using the recovery DVDs I've done after the installation of Vista (circa Dec. 2006): result: restore option only includes the restoration of the recovery image of boot sector with a complete HD wipe factory-installed.  Not the restoration of the system of options available.

    Plug material: I have (obviously) Vista Home Premium installed above a factory installed Windows XP Media Center (SP2).  Partition 2 contains an area of recovery that will restore the original settings.  Another partition is Ubuntu, which is how I can log in and post this message.  Also:

    • Model: Compaq Presario SR2050NX Media Center
    • Processor: Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz dual core
    • MoBo: ESC Asteropi 3
    • Chipset: ATI RC410
    • Southbridge: ATI SB400
    • Memory: 1024 M DDR2 - SDRAM (PC2-4200/PC2-4300/533 MHz)
    • HARD DRIVE: 250 GB
    • OS: Windows Vista editions Home Premium on XP Media Center SP2
    • Secondary to OS: Ubuntu 9.04

    Computing: Average

    Mood:
    upset

    My goal is to restore the system to a point before the installation of the update.  I didn't want to wipe the system and start over.

    Thank you

    Do a repair disc to do a repair system restore / boot:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    If this does not work, now looking to relocate, because you have only the factory recovery disc.

  • Don't have a Media Center on my HP Vista Home Premium update.

    I have a HP certified authentic running Vista Home Premium SP2.  It came with Media Center, which I barely used until recently, but now I really enjoy it.

    I've heard of the Netflix tile added last year, but I don't see in my Media Center.  I finally got to see what it looks like at a store (it was on a Win7 machine) and now I can't wait to get this working on my computer.  Miss me him more than the Netflix tile... As well, Miss me Internet TV.  Could I have missed that any update?  I activated Windows Update and install updates regularly.  How can I tell what version of Media Center I am running?  Is anyway to uninstall/reinstall Media Center?

    I have a topic "TV + movies", but under that, it's just "recorded tv", "DVD library" and "set up tv.  I don't have a TV tuner card.

    Thank you.

    Hi amal.

    I'm in the USA.  My version of Media Center is 6.0.6002.18103 (vistasp2_gdr.090831 - 0117).

    I downloaded the Media Center TV pack you mentioned, however, when I tried to install it, the installation program said, "the update does not apply to your system."

    I searched the list of Windows updates installed on my system for the TV pack, but do not see it.  The most recent WMC cumulative update on my system was KB974306.  I uninstalled, rebooted, then tried to reinstall the TV pack, but got the same message "does not apply".

    So I re-installed KB974306 (who alerted the automatic update of Windows Me was available after reboot), and read the next article you sent.  Someone suggested to do a 'Download Now' to in WMC.  I tried and then Netflix tile appeared, as well as sports and Internet TV.  My WMC version remained the same even after a reboot.

    Since I now have the Netflix tile and it works, I really must the WMC version 6.1 +?   If I wait until the next auto WMC updated for Vista, I should be able to do things?

    Thank you very much for your help!
