• Reinstall Windows 7 does not accept the product key

  Just bought a new PC to replace my crashed. Install Windows 7 from the DVD I got for my old PC. It does not accept the product key. Think it's because it was a copy of Windows 7 upgrade. What can I do about this that I can't downgrade to Windows XP. I have the original and the product key for Windows XP disks.

  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.

  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.

• MS Office does not accept the product key and does not leave my type anything on Word documents

  I have windows 2007 edition vista Home premium and I neglected to enter my product key every time I opened a word document. I discovered that after 25 hours of opening ms Office it will not let type you anything on the document. I entered the 25-digit product key, that she had asked because I found on the label on the back of my lap top and every time I entered the code, he said that it was not valid. I double checked to make sure that I typed the numbers in the right order several times and it still does not accept it! I'm in the product key? I also tried the product ID and that no longer works. Help, please! Thank you!

  • Home Premium Windows Vista 2007
  • MS Word does not accept the product key
  • When you open MS Word, impossible to type anything

  You enter the incorrect product key. The product key on the back of your laptop is for the Vista operating system, no office. The office, which is preinstalled on your computer has a trial version. You can buy Office in order to continue using it. Then, you will get the Office product key.

• Impossible to install windows 8 - we could not verify the product key

  Hello

  I have a HP G laptop computer series. The laptop comes with Windows 7. I. I upgraded to WIN 8 pro when windows 8 has been released. Recently, my laptop hard drive crashed completely due to bad sectors. I replaced with a new hard drive and tried to install WIN 8 from a dvd disk created from Windows download site.

  Now, the installation fails in the "enter product key to activate windows. The error is , we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media.

  What can I do here? I can't install Windows 7 also because my laptop didn't come with a backup installation disk but just a restore system partition that get lost with swap HDD too.

  I was struck here for weeks. Please help me.

  To install Windows 8, you must have a previous Version (XP Sp3, Vista or Windows 7) installed at installation time. Your RESUME must have given you the opportunity to make a series of DVD of Windows 7, when you first start using your computer. If you have done these and then use them for the recovery of Windows 7 on your computer and then update for Windows 8.0. If you don't do this why? Your other option is to contact HP support and have then send you a recovery of Windows 7 DVD set. They will charge a small fee for these to help cover their costs.

  Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

• Uploaded image of Windows 7 Professional will not accept the product key that came with my computer.

  I have a Dell laptop, Studio, approximately 1 year, delivered with Windows 7 Professional installed - the label with the genuine product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. Shortly after I got it I deleted the recovery partition to make room for Linux installed next to Windows. I had problems with Windows system (mainly caused by me bad installation software and drivers without proper backups) so I decided to reinstall Windows. I had already deleted the recovery partition and wouldn't use it anyway because I prefer a clean system without unwanted from the manufacturer in this regard. I did not receive a Windows operating system installation DVD with my computer, so I downloaded a (64-bit Windows 7 Professional, the same as the original operating system) which already had SP1 on it (the version of Win7Pro installed Dell's not SP1). I installed Windows on this drive and attempted to activate using the product key that came with my computer, but it would not accept the key. I don't have time to try to solve this problem, but now the period of one month is up and my computer does not work correctly.
  I suspect that the problem may be due to me using the SP1 disc. If this is the case, should I reinstall Windows again? I have * NOT * GOING to buy another product key when I have already paid for a genuine version of Windows. I just want to be able to use my computer without the ridiculous slowdowns caused by pre-installed software and the way I chose.

  Thanks for any help with this problem, I really need fo fix my computer.

  original title: Activation error, Windows 7 Professional
  Windows product key: *-* - M3DJT - 4J3WC-733WD
  Windows license Type: OEM SLP

  The key to your report is your OEM SLP key which can not be activated. This isn't the key to COA.

  but the key I tried to use is what I copied on the COA the day I got the computer of the book where I put all the information on my computers.
  
  
  Is the product key in your book is the partial key in your report?
  You must change the product key to the one on your COA.
  Check your compartment of the COA.
  The other solution is to reinstall your Dell OEM recovery disks or recovery partition. This self will activate your computer.
  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

• Windows XP Pro SP2 re - install does not accept the product key.

  I'm trying to re - use the product key on the sticker from the bottom of the laptop.  This is the same computer that was working fine until I decided to reinstall, but I use a different installation media because the laptop (a refurb) never came with the media.  Can I call MS and get it re-authorized?  I have XP Pro SP2 and XP Pro SP3 Reacondicionador media.

  You try to install Windows XP with OEM product key you have on your COA sticker. So be sure that you have a generic Windows XP OEM CD, because VLK or Retail CD does not accept the OEM product key.

• Windows 8 does not accept the product key

  About 3 years ago I bought Windows 8 Pro (64-bit). In the meantime, I reinstalled the system a good several times because of some strange accidents (see my other question). Now, I tried to reinstall it again, until Windows 10 comes out, but activation does not accept the key. I read on other forums that this is probably beyond the limit of activations.

  Is there a way to reset the key or am I forced to buy a second?

  Thank you

  Mario

  It does not work because you have an OEM license, which means you need to call Dell for support. After 15 months that Dell could not even provide free assistance.

• Vista does not recognize the product key

  I reinstalled Vista using the disc of recovery of the product due to unrecoverable corruption. Once installed Vista indicates that the OS is not authentic and that she invites you for an alternative. I also entered the product key from the sticker on the bottom of the lappy, but also not recognized as valid. I'm puzzled.

  Satellite pro L300.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Pete.

  > I reinstalled Vista using the product recovery disc...
  Did you create this disk using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator?

  Installed recovery image must not be activated, so I really don't understand how you may be asked for product key.
