• Windows 8 Beta - cannot verify the product key

  Hi all

  After you have installed Windows 8 beta last year on my laptop, I bought the upgrade to the full version of Windows 8 and received a product key by e-mail as part of the purchase or download.  Now, I'm trying to use the same disk of Windows 8 Beta to install the OS on my desktop.  After you enter the product key, I get a message saying "cannot verify the product key - check your installation media."

  Can someone explain why the beta key does not work and if I get a new key?

  Thank you

  No, you can't, but what you can do is, use the following link to download and create the installation media that you can use to upgrade other computers.

  Please note, if other computers are running versions of 32-bit or 64-bit, you will need to create a respective installation media corresponding to the architecture of the facilities running on these computers (32 or 64-bit):

  If you must reinstall Windows 8 or you want to install it on one partition and you do not have installation media, you can create it using the installer of Windows 8. To create a support, you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) than the PC you want to install Windows 8.1 on. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.

  You can usually find your product key in your online order information, in the confirmation email of your purchase, or on the DVD packaging. The product key will look something like this: XXXXX - XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

  Once you have your product key and you are on a PC running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Run the program installation of Windows 8 .

  2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

  3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1.

  4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1, select install by creating media and then click Next.

  Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

  To create a USB flash drive

  1. Click on a USB flash drive.

  2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

  3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

     If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

  To create a DVD

  1. Click on the ISO file, and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

  2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

  3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

  Please note that you will have a unique individual license (product key) for each computer you want to upgrade.

  You can buy additional product keys to:

  You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

  If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

• Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store

  Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store

  My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
  I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?

  If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/TP/topkeyfinder.htm
  I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.
  the $199 price is for the full version.

  How many times can I install Windows on my computer before I have to activate Windows again?

  You can reinstall Windows on the same computer as many times as you want because activation pairs product key of Windows with information about your computer hardware. If you make a significant hardware change, you may need to activateWindows once again.

  for your office activation issues, you will need to ask in the forum link below office activation because this forum is for vista installation issues

  normally, if you have any problems with vista or office activation you would use the phone activation

• Cannot find the product key to reinstall Vista

  I want to reinstall Windows Vista to clean my Toshiba laptop, but when I bought it, it came with the Windows Vista disc. When I searched the help options, they said I have a sticker on my laptop that has the product key to this topic. I'm sure that I have this sticker, but it is worn out, so I can't read the key top. Is there another way for me to recover this product key, so I can reinstall Windows Vista?

  Hello

  Key Finder programs are useless to use on the OEM of the computer like Toshiba, Acer, etc.

  They will only find a product key that is used on several computers during the Manufactuering which is of no use to you when reinstalling the operating system.

  These programs are only useful to find retail operating system product keys, which then can be used.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Follow these steps to reinstall Vista:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  With a Toshiba recovery process can be started by pressing 0 (zero) at startup. (Power on / start)

  This is Toshibs; has instructions on this subject.

  "How restore your laptop Toshiba to its state of charge software factory using system recovery"

  https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

• Cannot find the product key for Microsoft Office 2007 on laptop

  I have MS Office 2007 pre-installed on my Toshiba laptop that I recently had to do a recovery and now my MS Office programs i.e. MS Word and Excel are blocked and I can not use! Where can I find the product key for pre-installed Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop?

  Hello coastaln8ive,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Since your Office 2007 pre-installed with Toshiba, you should contact Toshiba to see if they will provide with Office recovery disks.
  It would be Toshiba to provide records.
