• Rejected product key XP

  I bought an OEM of Windows XP Home version to install on a PC, I built.  (The only version I could find was an OEM version). It came with the sticker COST holding the key of activation of five groups.  Installation proceeded to the product key section.  After you type the activation key, I got an error message telling me that the key was not correct.  Is that what I can do about it?

  Check the characters you type - some are easily confused. Use a magnifying glass and a bright light.

• Re-Setup, a product key reusing Activation rejected

  My licensed version of Win7 has been altered. Kill it, partition deleted, again created and formatted, removing the original instance of Win7 in existence. Re-installed Win7 on a larger drive.

  Of course, Microsoft is rightly rejecting my re-use of the product key. If I could talk to a human being and explain the above, it would be a false problem, and my product key would be released into the system of allowing me to re - use (always my only example of Win7). But speaking to a human being is a question - why can't I find a number to call for support on this? I had about 3 weeks left borrowed time. When I activate, the only way I can 'call' is if my system is connected to an automatic phone system. It is a stand-alone client in my home office...

  Can someone help me with the support of number or alternative route for correct activation?

  Thank you very much...

• HP 14-r206nv: Windows activation rejects laptop product key after replacing hard drive

  Hello.

  The hard drive of my laptop not then the computer was sent to the official service (first back to the store where I bought as it is still under warranty). Today, that she came to me with a new hard drive but with no OS installed, so I tried to install it on my own as I am a student in computer engineering.

  I know that in windows preinstalled computers laptops like mine is the product key is stored in the bios I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64bits (non-professional because I know that you need to install the exact same version). But the problem is that now, windows can not be activated. Activation in internet reports"Error Code: 0xC004C003. "Error description: the activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked '.

  So I tried to do an activation phone but microsoft support, they responded that it is not a valid product key and that I should get in touch with the manufacturer! What's wrong?

  Sorry, but that's just one buy volunteers self-help personal forum and we cannot do anything about the problem of activation of here.

  As I see it, you have two options (1) of the store and the Support of HP (2).

  Regarding technical Support HP, as this PC is still under warranty, you should contact HP Customer Support directly so they put you in contact with HP Tech Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.

• Correct product key is rejected

  Install Windows 7 from my son went through repetitive restarts after the repair stuff did not work, I decided to reinstall W7 on the same computer.    The box was upgraded to Vista with 3 computer pack MS sold several years ago.

  So.  Relocation seems to be fine and he then asked for the product key.   I have three times tried the key out of the map and had other people check that I typed the key correctly.   However, the installation is complaining that the product key is not valid.    This is, ah, junk.
  For installation I have not so far formatted partition trying to maybe save data, but the essential question becomes a fairly large gluteal pain.
  So, what gives?   Most of the product all over was nothing else than the aggravation and now if I can't even reinstall, it becomes useless.

  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.

• Pavilion x 2: Windows product key Validation after hardware change (new SSD)

  I have a Pavilion laptop x 2 with a 64 GB SSD.  It came with Windows 8.1 but he now works Windows 10 - of course.  I decided to upgrade the 256 GB SSD.  I bought the appropriate module (a Sandisk).  I recently contacted Windows support to inquire about the procedure to validate the OS once I did the material exchange.  I wasn't sure how it would work since my x 2 Pavilion has incorporated into BIOS product key.  Microsoft told me that because I was going to do a hardware change I would need a new product key (in other words my laptop current product key would be 'blocked').  I was able to recover the product key of my Pavilion x 2 (OEM and installed keys - what is the difference?).

  Does anyone have experience in this field?  Once I have replace the SSD and perform a clean install Windows 10, will be the key to product embedded BIOS validate operating system or it will reject?  Since I'm NOT buying a HP SSD (with preloaded operating system) and that my x 2 Pavilion is now long out of warranty?  I really have to pay over a hundred dollars for a new Windows operating system license?

  Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

  Francis

  Parameters indicate that I have a digital right so with a bit of luck when I change the SSD and install Windows 10, the machine must validate without a qualm.  I tried to see if I could link my Validation of my Microsoft account but I did not have this option on my settings (although in the past when I re-install Windows 10, link validation of my Microsoft account operating system so I guess it works.)  Also, I guess I have the anniversary edition from my machine updated automatically.

  If all else fails, I'll see how it goes after the SSD upgrade and if I have to deal with Microsoft.  I also agree with you that change the SSD (essentially the ' drive') is NOT a significant change in equipment and shall not impose a new product key, but then, nothing surprises me more.

  Your tips were helpful and I thank you.

• Change the product key with a Windows 8.1 apdate

  I WANT 4 - 1130us I've had for about 1 year and it came with pre-installed Windows 8.  I've since updated to Windows 8. 1.

  On the screen: System control panel - system and safety - is a link to "Get more features with a new edition of Windows".  When I select it it then requires a product key.  Belerac using the product key appears as being for Windows 8.1 (x 64).  I enter the product key, but it is rejected as invalid.

  I'm doing something wrong?

  The product key there with the update in 8.1?  If so, how di I find my key windows 8.1?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The product key is will not change when you updated to Windows 8.1, but it is used to activate the system operation cannot be used to buy additional upgrades such as Windows Media Center etc - this requires you to first purchase the upgrade key appropriate for the additional component, you need.

  I take 25 characters of the label on my HP computer case and was rejected.

  I then they are in the 25-character activation code (obtained from the HP computer) and was again rejected.

• Windows 7 not accepted in a retail PC product key

  I have a product key genuine alternative for Windows 7 that I wanted to use to install my friend a new operating system. She has an old Windows XP retail PC. When it came time to activate the operating system by using the product key, the message was: "Product key not accepted" - and the help section, said that this is probably due to the fact that it's a PC detail that is used to have a copy of XP OEM. It is possible to activate a new OS on a computer that was previously bound to an OEM product key? Is it a particular format of the MAC address that accepts only the activation of the OEM operating system?

  The restriction that prevents the operating system that is being replaced is called Secure Boot is available only on the UEFI BIOS and is active with Windows machines 8/10. If the computer had Windows XP on it it would not Secure Boot enabled even if they are available.

  Windows XP/Vista/7 OEM systems has just had the key integrated into the installation image that checked for a tag SLIC in BIOS to check that the license was valid for the particular manufacturer and that it is not activate online or by phone.

  Disk based installations must activate online / by phone so don't check is not the license using the BIOS and ignores the built tag, even if it exists.

  If your license key is detail it should activate automatically or return to the phone Activation however product key not accepted"is not normal under these circumstances. When this message comes up? If during the installation of Windows, the computer is not online, and it is a failure the internal controls of the encrypted in the key product ID, it is not rejected by the activation servers.

• New hard drive gets the INVALID disc Windows 7 64 bit upgrade product key!

  I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and within 24 hours, my hard drive is dead. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium with 64-bit disc. Everything went well until the time of the entry of the product key. When I typed in the key of this program returned an INVALID KEY message and instructed me to check and retype the key, I did. Product key message invalid was repeated. I have not installed a previous version of windows before you reinstall 7, and the installation program never asked me to check my right to use the upgraded version (Yes, I used the CUSTOM install method).

  The INVALID PRODUCT KEY message due to the absence of an earlier version of windows is detected on the new hard drive? I need to install my OLD version of windows before proceeding with Windows 7, can I? Please help me understand what is happening with this PC. I convinced my sister to be upgraded because Windows 7 is SO much in my PC, so that she bought the upgrade disc and tried for a week to get its system works as well as mine has inlaw for several months. I have not heard of someone having this much trouble with the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Product keys don't care equipment. They only care about the version of Windows that you are trying to install. (However, you cannot validate a facility later but this is another topic).

  If your product key is rejected, then you are two typing errors or you are using a key that does not match the DVD that you are using. This could happen if you use a MS Office key for a Windows installation to a key of Windows 7 OEM for a DVD retail of Windows 7.

• Home Edition product key in Deperate need

  I upgraded my computer Windows Vista Home Edition to Windows 7 Home Edition years ago, until very recently, I experienced a HARD drive failure, I need the Windows 7 Home Edition product key to download the Windows7 Home Edition ISO from Microsoft site, I have Windows Vista Home Edition product key, is possible that I can the product key of Windows 7 Edition family?

  What is the problem with the WIndows 7 disc?  How did you create it exactly?  Here, others reported recently that imgburn has worked to extract the image file and then after removing ei.cfg burn to a fresh DVD with ImgBurn speed 4 x.  Andre gave you another tool to try.

  Then what I would do is try to write ISO Flash stick with Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool or if it rejects the ISO as it often (because it is fussy) then use UltraISO software to create Bootable USB Flash Drive that always works.  Then start the stick using the BIOS boot menu key.

• A new product key for W7 would work on an older version of W7

  Quick and easy question. If I had to use a product key for a newer version of windows 7 to save a previous version of windows 7 would he reject the code and tell me to reinstall/use of the disc or my currently installed version just modernize itself to the new version through updates?

  You cannot use a final key to activate the Home Premium edition.

  In order to upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate, Home Premium must be activate with a key of Home Premium.

• Use the same product key on multiple computers accidentally.

  I had a simple problem, somehow in my household that is unknown to me, we met with the same copy of windows 7 Home Premium on two computers.  We received the product key of course rejected on both computers.  We got a new copy of Windows 7 ultimate for my dad's computer, he started this:(, mais maintenant nous ne pouvons pas obtenir autre sauf s'il la la clé.)  Thanks old man.  So what steps should I take, because there is only one computer using this key now.
