REACTIVATE WITH THE NEW KEY

I've owned this licensed copy of Windows XP Edition family for more than 10 years. It is not installed on a different machine than the one I have intalled on today. I'm fixing my brother-brother Office who caught a virus and needed to install a new copy of Windows (because it doesn't have its CD now). I registered and activated without problem and then apply the updates more than 120 and repair almost all device driver problems. Now, when you apply the next set of updates, I tells me the key I have been activated too many times and I have to get a new key (which means the purchase of Windows 7, apparently). License written I can use this software on one PC and there is no limit or an indication that I can activate only a certain number of times. This is unacceptable. I paid a lot of money for this OS and I expect to continue to use it until it turns off support next year.

Help, please.

It seems that you just call catch a real person and explain your situation.

How to contact a Microsoft Product Activation Center by phone

You may need a bit of patience according to the operator who takes care of you.

If it gets too annoying, just hang up and call to see if you can take someone else. ;-)

  • First New - VM: an element with the same key has already been added.


    I get a strange error that I have seen a few other posts, but with no resolution (or at least one that I can find).  When you try to create a new virtual machine using the cmdlet New - VM, I get the error "an item with the same key has already been added."

    Now, here's the key that I've not seen many others to mention.  This ONLY happens on the first attempt for each new connection with Connect-VIServer.  I can create as many of the same machines that I want after that first mistake with the same settings (new name of course).  If I disconnect and reconnect again, the error appears for the first time.

    Normally with PowerShell, I have just to catch the error and be on my way.  However, in this case I use the parameter - RunAsync, so that I can capture the task that is returned in a variable.  From there, I use Wait-task until the virtual machine is complete before moving on with the script.  Everything works fine when the error occurs, but when it happens that the object of the task is not returned and the rest of her vomit script errors.

    I am running the latest version of PowerCLI and I tried this on PowerShell v2.0 and v3.0 and get the same results.  I tried different models and guests without success.  I also tried this with and without assistance - AllLinked on Connect-VIServer-bound mode.  I should mention that I am cloning model, by specifying a spec customization and host cluster data store.  Again, the only common denominator repeatable here is that this ONLY happens on the first attempt to use New - VM session to vCenter.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Cannot install Windows 8 with the new drive, because the key will not

    I just rebuilt a 64-bit pc. I had windows 7 on it and decided to do a clean install of windows 8. Bought a version OEM from Amazon yesterday. Arrived today and the disc was in double sealed package of Microsoft Corporation.  The package comes with the key in very small print on the back that I had to read with a magnifying glass. This key is not accepted during the installation of the software. I checked that it was OK and I tried several times but the key has not been accepted. What should I do now?

  • Sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable

    Hello Toshiba Help Center

    Please help me solve this problem

    Three years ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista preinstalled. I also received a DVD with her recovery. I now want to reinstall Windows and completely format the hard drive - however, the sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable. So what I did... I formatted my laptop for windows 7 and after a few months, I want to recover my product key and install windows vista pre - with the original product key that sound now
    unreadable...

    Is it possible to get it back by, my laptop series No, or...
    Best regards, TOSHIBA
    IM bluebird.jeff

    Hello, Jeff

    At first, I must say that it is not toshiba Help Center, but user forum created by Toshiba, so if you wait for the response from Toshiba people here you are in the wrong place.
    In any case, in this forum, you can pick up some very useful information and a lot of people here can help you with your problems.

    Return to described the issue.
    Unfortunately you do not understand how it works with the product key and Windows Setup, so I'll try to help you with this.
    Each computer toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and the product key at the bottom of your laptop belongs to this version. With other words: when you buy the new laptop, you have to pay for hardware, operating system and a license for this preinstalled OS. Product key at the bottom is not a kind of universal product key and cannot be used for activation of another version of Windows.

    You can use the delivered Toshiba recovery disc that contains mage replicated several times and each time you will have activated the operating system. When you use the Microsoft disk for the installation of the OS you must have valid product key which belongs to this particular version.

    In your case product key is for Vista, and you cannot use it for Win7 activation. This product key is... unnecessary.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

  • Microsoft cares if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard?

    I am building a newish computer; Microsoft cares any longer, if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard? All of the previous answers to this question are all about 2011 are resolutely "affirmative", they care. I know that Microsoft has had a change of heart (at least I think) regarding their operating system. With the upcoming free update, I was hoping I could recycle my Windows 7 64 bit, an increase in the time up to 10 comes out.

  • Windows 7 does not start with the new msi motherboard

    Yesterday, I bought a new motherboard, processor and 8g of ram in my computer. After all what adjustment and replacement of my old motherboard with the new, I started my computer to find that Windows 7 unbootable not. Instead of windows 7, I get the screen click on BIOS II (2). The configuration screen allows me to launch Winki but not Windows 7 because it was not found. The motherboard came with a utility disk drivers msi and AMD chipset which, when inserted in my hard disk, loads up to Winki. This version of windows 7 (Home Premium 64-bit) came pre-installed with my old mother/computer(Thus, I do not have the windows 7 installation disk) card. Is there a way I need to activate Windows 7 on my new motherboard?

    Hello

    Well, you have some problems. First of all, with a new motherboard you need a new copy of Windows - not only the DVD, but a whole new product key must be purchased. It's just the terms of the license: a new motherboard is equivalent to a new computer, and each computer must have its own copy of Windows.

    So where you buy your copy of Windows 7, I would make sure that it came with a DVD image. Otherwise, you can tell us which version of Windows 7 you (will) actually buy, and we can send you a link to the copy of the DVD for this version of Windows 7.

    To purchase a copy of Windows 7 you can check Newegg.com, here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=windows+7&N=-1&isNodeId=1 .

    I hope that answers your question.

  • BlackBerry smartphones to reach this message to all those who are unhappy with the new update.

    Everyone who is angry with the new update (missing Key Lock, lack of contacts, etc.) please say it here.  Maybe if we get enough people to join on a post, they're going to do something.  I did have to use a password to lock my device actually.  Most of the phones on the market today have a simple way of locking keys.  In addition, the new software seems to run slow and slow.

    Just type that you agree, maybe they will get the idea.

    In addition, when you set a password on the device you can then have a lock on the device icon.  By pressing the K key locks the device as well.

    Without setting the password, then the lock button lock icon on top (see image below) will make a keypad lock regular, similar to the old removed sleep function. AND, you can press on and hold A to lock the keyboard.  K button does not work when a password is not set.

    Hold the button mute for sleep has been removed.

    Hello Vishal,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.
