Reinstalling Windows Vista tells me to activate windows, but don't let me use the same key

• If I replace my motherboard I have to buy Windows again or if I can use the same key?

  A motherboard / licensed

  The motherboard in my computer is dead (well not exactly, the USB ports short anything plugged). I RAM would be the Council because it is still under warranty, but the manufacturer says that the problems are not covered by the warranty. I'm in a situation where I need to replace my motherboard. I also found that my motherboard is no longer manufactured. I'll be able to buy a new motherboard and reinstall Windows? I was told that since a computer cannot exist without a motherboard I'll have to buy another copy of Windows: new motherboard = new computer = new copy of Windows. But I was also told that if I have a retail copy, what I do, and not an OEM, I was able to reinstall my copy if I replace my motherboard. How true this is?

  All this is true!

  If you have a retail version, you can change the card mother as many times as you like as long as your license is used only on any given computer one at a time.

  After the fifth installation of your license, phone activation may be required.

  Only OEM versions are related to the first motherboard forever, unless the manufacturer can sell you a model which replaced the abandoned.

• If I uninstall Windows 7 and then reinstall it on the same computer, using the same key/copy register?

  Need a quick answer here! I'm selling my older HP laptop that has Windows 7 above. I intend to uninstall the operating system, and then reinstall it to wipe all my data. The copy is just a simple upgrade from Home Premium (the laptop came with Vista). When I reinstall, can I still register by using the same key? I have heard that it is installed on a computer at any time then you can, but I'm not completely sure.

  Enable is the right term, Yes. Now what happens if I simply select "Custom" when I try to install the upgrade of Windows 7 since I don't have a Vista disk?

  If your Windows 7 is an upgrade license any system move to must have a previous operating system eligible before you can use it elsewhere. You may also need to reactivate by phone:

  You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

  1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
  you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
  you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
  a copy (or a license) for each computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
  the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
  computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
  OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
  It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
  computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

• How to reinstall windows 8 in new HARD drive using the old product key?

  Mr President.

  One of my clients purchased a new HP Envy 6 - 1150ex running integrated windows 8 64-bit a month ago. Unfortunately the HARD drive broke down by the improper use and must be replaced. I replaced the HARD drive, but I can't find the product key original of the laptop unless you have small windows on the laptop sticker. given that I don't have the recovery for the same model disk how can I install the genuine windows 8 manually by using the product key? where can I find the product key?  Please help me.

  Kind regards

  Yoyo

  Hello

  Should be no problem at all if you use the version of Windows 8 EVEN because the product key is now embedded in the BIOS of the machine. The process is to get the right installation of Windows 8 media (DVD, USB, downloaded file) and then install on your client computer. No label/sticker more for all new machines with Windows pre-installed 8.

  Your windows is only valid on the computer, it was originally installed on. It cannot be transferred.
  You can buy a full windows installation on your motherboard retail retail.
  EDIT: added more information.

  ) SLP OEM: 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.

• Reinstall Windows 7 on a different drive on the same computer - related issue of the license

  A license Windows 7 partners question

  Can I reinstall Windows 7 on a drive different than where I did the initial installation? I have to cancel registration of the software because the initial installation? If so, how this is done? I have to follow a special procedure for the installation of system 7 on the hot spare?

  The reason for my situation

  I decided to upgrade the operating system of my laptop Toshiba Windows XP to Windows 7. As it was my first time, I decided to buy a HDD replacement so that I'd be able to do a clean install of Windows 7 without compromising my data and programs on the old disk. That went well, but the data and previously installed programs that I had used for the years remained in the hard disk which has been deleted.

  Now, I would replace the new hard drive (on which I have installed Windows 7) with the original hard disk (which contains Wndows XP and all my data, all my programs). With that done, I would like to perform an installation upgrade of Windows 7 (on Windows XP). In order to make a second installation on another hard drive (but the same work) what I should do to meet the legal installation MS for Windows 7?

  Please let me know.

  Thank you

  In addition, there is no installation upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows XP.

  Yes, thank you. I missed that he had 'upgrade '.

  You must perform a new installation and reinstall your programs.

  It's the best thing to do, but the 'must' is too strong a Word. Allow me to
  mention the alternative (although I do not recommend to do so): make a
  two-step upgrade - first upgrade XP to Vista, and Vista upgrade for
  Windows 7.

  I do not recommend because it doubles the risk of problems. But one
  while back I've tasted, to check that it worked, and I got lucky
  enough to have any resulting problems.

• Try installing windows xp pro (not original disc) using the cd key that came with the computer and it tells me that it is invaild. Why?

  Both xp pro... dunno why its not working, worked prior to this installation. Same model, same format, reinstall installation routine... not working do not. Help, please

  If you have an OEM of XP Pro product key version and a CD of XP Pro retail, which will not work because they must be of the same type of XP Pro.

  If both the key product AND the installation CD are for the same type of XP Pro (otherwise, they are all two OEM or they are two retailers), so you just need to be very careful when you enter the 25-character product key, be careful not to confuse an 8 with a B, a 5s etc.

• I upgraded my computer and re-installed everything, but it won't let me use the product key to validate windows and make it genuine. What can I do?

  Basically, the title says it all.  I got a new processor and motherboard a months ago and decided I would just start clean, so I wiped my HARD drive.  Reinstalled and everything works beautifully, but windows will not let me post it, saying that the code has already been used.  Is there a way to reset the code or something else?  Thanks in advance.

• Can I download Windows 7 Professional for free and use the product key I have?

  I was WONDERING IF SOME COULD HELP OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT of WAY TO GET a DOWNLOAD FREE Windows 7 Professional, I ALREADY HAVE THE PREMIUM AND I WANT PROFESSIONAL GRADE

  I never said that I won or purchased key I had when I had pro on my other computer when needed to get a new I sold my old so if you want to continue to help me it's cool if noit I understand

  If the computer you sold is supplied with Pro pre-installed on it, it would be an OEM license and cannot be used on another computer.

  If it was an upgrade of retail full version and you delete or Pro to him before you sold the other computer, you would not be able to use Pro either again on another computer.

  The only way that you can reuse the activation key again is if the key is not in use on another computer and is a commercial version.

  You also do not need a disk to upgrade to Home Premium to Pro either. All you have to do is upgrade from Home Premium to Pro by making an Express upgrade that only requires an activation key.

• Cannot change PopUp LOV width and height in version 4.2.5.00.08. I change the values of 450 400 in the Popup list template values (Section of the window), but my function genList0_f07_$ _row (), retains the same settings. Is this a bug?

  Hello

  I use APEX 4.2.5.00.08 to my app.

  I have a region of reports, where I display a column set. A column is the column attribute "display as" the value 'Popup LOV (LOV based query).

  I press the button to retrieve the LOV, I get a popup of 450 x 400 pixels.

  I go to the side of the model and navigate to "Popup list of values of model", where I can see in the section 'Window' attributes 'Width' and 'Height' value 450 and 400. I edit them and save them and there is nothing going on. I'm sure that the template belongs to my selected theme.

  I saw in the HTML source code that is the called function:

  <!--

  
  function genList0_f07_$ _row)
  {
  w = open ("wwv_flow_utilities.gen_popup_list" +)
  « ? p_filter ="+
  "& p_name = ' + escape ('f07') +.
  ' & p_element_index = ' + escape ('0') +.
  ' & p_elem_id = ' + escape ('f07_0000').
  ' & p_form_index = ' + escape ('0') +.
  ' & p_max_elements = ' + escape ("") +.
  ' & p_escape_html = ' + escape ("") +.
  ' & p_ok_to_query = ' + escape ('YES').
  ' & p_flow_id = ' + escape ('114') +.
  ' & p_page_id = ' + escape ('100201') +.
  ' & p_session_id = ' + escape ('16021544706004').
  ' & p_eval_value = ' + escape ("") +.
  ' & p_translation = ' + escape ('NO') +.
  ' & p_lov = ' +.
  ' & p_lov_checksum = ' +.
  ' & p_item_id = ' + escape('-683997768') +.
  ' & p_column_id = ' + escape ('25022622060292812'),
  "winLov,"
  "Scrollbars = 1, resizable = 1, width =400, height =450"); "
  If (w.opener is nothing)
  w.opener = auto;
  w.Focus ();
  }
  ->

  I see that the values has not changed. I also connected and disconnected. I am inclined to believe that it is a bug of the APEX.

  The only solution I think is to replace this function, which is NOT ideal.

  Thank you

  Digital

  The parameters are generated only, nothing you can do about it because it does not use the model for these properties of the couple. Other things work fine for example the names of button or title window etc. I guess that, Yes, it is a bug. It's still there in the apex 5 too, I checked. The default values of the template do not match, the value in the generated code is always 400/450. So I guess it's pretty much a wait on 5.1.

  Here's a fun hack to make it work well on your page (works in apex 5 too, because the code is always the same). Put this in the execute on loading of the page section:

  (function(){
    var _open = window.open;
    window.open = function(){
      if ( arguments[1] === "winLov" ) {
        arguments[2] = "Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=500,height=700";
      };
      return _open.apply(window, arguments);
    };
  })();
  

  Change the settings to your liking. This will replace the existing window.open call, which is what the popup lov use and replace it with our own code. It does not interfere with other things. As the name of the new window is always "winLov" for the popup lov, it is the argument that is checked.

  During the call to window.open to open a new window with the name "winLov", parameters are replaced with your own version of it. The window is called as usual, using the stored reference.

  Edit:

  Yes, do not use the trick of resizing. My hack can be a bit tedious, but it's much less invasive for the end user (see open, bam, resize. "Even gets funky on multiple monitors). Also, this thing in the popup lov template will affect each lov popup that you use in the application, which is much less interesting than my specific page code.

  Edit2:

  I did a little digging in the source code, and I don't know why it does not work. Popup lovs are actually equipped to deal with it. My guess is that the parameters are recovered only after that the lists were generated, causing the package variables global to use their default values instead of model parameters.
