Recently bought a pirated copy of Windows 8. Windows installed perfectly, but the product key is not working.

I am originally from Pakistan, and has recently purchased a copy pirated Windows 8, because the original ones are not available... Windows installed perfectly, but the product key is not working

Hi Bselva,

As your boss has reinstalled the operating system, it should have the product key. Ask the product key and then activate the operating system.

Also check out this link:

If you do not have the product key, you will need to buy one from this link.

"The product key does not work with this edition of Windows 7", but I have not changed anything

Suddenly this week 7 Windows has stopped working and the error message said I might have a non-genuine copy, etc. I checked the product key by using the Start/computer/properties menu. The product key was not the same as on my PC, so I tried to get the right version. Then I got the error message that you have entered the product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7, and I want to run Windows 7 set up or enter a professional product key.

I saw that someone else had been advised to run MGADiag.exe so I've already did but am puzzled by the report. And I'm worried, why me nice Acer desktop PC suddenly did that, when he had worked happily with normal updates etc. The report shows a different product to the label of my PC key.

Can someone help, please

Thank you

Andrea

I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.

I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.

Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.

You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.

You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.

If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

product key?

Thank you

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.

If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

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.

I just bought a G6 Pavilion with windows 8, where is the product key for windows?

As above, there is a stricker saying Windows 8 64 and that's it.

I need the product key, as to prefer a clean install and need complete recoverability in the event of a HARD disk failure.

When I buy a laptop with a BONE, I expect to have the operating system, not 'rent' it until something bad happens.

Thank you.

Yes, the recovery discs can be used to start the computer and reinstall it on hdd original or new - without needing a license key.

I would always Support HP phone for information on the certificate of authenticity. Choose your country here > Contact HP

Have you purchased a license limited time, as he mentions in what you posted?

I think that you must return to this seller and see what it is that you bought... 17,20 $ being any amount that you would have to pay for the actual product CS6... so, as I said, I don't know anything about a license extension

Installed a new SSD and re installed Windows, now getting message days later than the product key does not work to activate it.

All ideas

Thank you people
