• How to decode my product SKU number? SKU is related to the product KEY?

  So, I would like to know what means 66R-02595 SKU. I know it's abd Stock Keeping Unit that all the numbers refer to the different versions of Windows.

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  A storage unit or SKU is a unique identifier for each distinct product and service that can be purchased. Use of the SKU system is rooted in data management, allowing the company systematically follow their availability in stock or product, as in the warehouses and points of sale. They are often assigned and merchant level. Each Reference is attached to an item, variant, product range, bundle, services, fees, or an attachment. Unfortunately, we are unable to decode the product SKU number.

• 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.

• Windows activation error: the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer.

  Activate Windows 7

  I would like to ask questions about how can activate my correct windows, I tried to activate it but he said to me (the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer) I don't know what I have to do?

  Windows product ID: 00426-068-2964761-86079

  Recently, there have been a rash of product keys for Windows 7 purchased from auction sites appear here as not authentic.  They appear to be related to this HROnline HrOnline code: 0xC004C4A2. If you have purchased a key of a web site selling auctions (like eBay), please understand that the seller would have sold this product to several people key, causing the key more on the blacklist. These keys were never intended for resale; they were intended for the software development or assessment depending on the program that they were obtained through. If you have purchased one of these keys and it became not genuine with the above code, you must purchase a new license for windows 7. Try to validate by going to www.microsoft.com/geniune and follow the links provided to repair windows.

  Added note. You have only a limited amount of time (45 days I think) filing a claim with the auction sites. Stay away from these keys, if you purchased a key that has turned non-genuine and are within 45 days of purchase file a claim. There are publishers of legitimate software on auction sites, but if it sounds too good to be true then don't buy it.

  Things to watch for.

  Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN subscription product keys packed with legitimate research media. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy.

  If you purchased a product key, with or without DVD or packaging of a sale auction web site (e.g. eBay) or any other person or seller and this could be a product key MSDN Subscritpion because your key has been blocked, you can check a few things.  If you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product.  However, some counterfeit software is if convince you may not be able to identify it as such.

  To check your PID the Win Key Press and have a break at the same time or open system properties in Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and look at the PID.  It will look something like this: 1234567-12345-067-54321.  The part that you are interested in is the section to three figures.  If it matches or is in one or two digits from the examples below, you probably have a "non-destinee for resale" MSDN subscription product key

  Suspect: 065, 066, 067 068 for Windows 7 Ultimate edition, 220 area for the professional and the 230, 231 area for Home Premium.  There are probably others, but they should be close to those posted.

• Change the product key to use COA OEM during the product upgrade

  I found the kkid106 question "can I use a product key Windows 7 OEM to a retail facility.

  But as it is not my particular case, I want to be sure and make the issue.

  The question is on a clean install of Windows 7 Home Retail using Windows 7 OEM Home.  My case is not a clean install.

  I have the following two scenarios:

  Scenario 1. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage.  I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer.  I get a retail upgrade of Windows 8.  I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM with retail upgrade to Windows 8.  Technically I find myself with a computer without a license since the upgrade come from an OEM from another computer.  Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.

  This scenario is correct.  Can I validate the license online or by phone?

  Scenario 2. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage.  I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer.  I have an Upgrade download Windows 8 without product key.  I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM upgrade download to Windows 8.  I find myself with a computer without a license, because the upgrade is unlicensed and comes from an OEM from another computer.  Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.

  This scenario is correct.  Can I validate the license online or by phone?

• Hard drive is dead, it was loaded with a play version of XP, I have the product key but don't have XP disc and need to get a

  Hello

  My title says about the history. My hard drive (XP) died and the local tech confirmed is not a replacement value (it's an old machine).

  I have a MacBook and that you have loaded Parallels on it so that I can run Windows. Now I want to install XP on the MacBook, but I don't have the installation disc.

  1. is there somewhere I can download it from?

  2. once I have it loaded, my product key will work?

  3 anything else I should be aware of when to load XP on a MacBook?

  Thank you

  
  

  Thanks for the reply.

  I bought the laptop used on ebay from a company that has sold thousands of refurbished machines. I know that she buys lots of companies that no longer need them, wipe data, reinstalling Windows and then sell them. Installing XP is legitimate, because the laptop has a certificate of Authenticity on the back Microsoft.

  So I suspect that the Windows installation is not related to the motherboard.

  Other thoughts?

  Thanks again.

  It is quite possible that XP has been reinstalled on your computer using an OEM disc "generic" as well as your product key from the computer.  However, the product key itself is linked to the motherboard.

  For example, my son recently bought a used computer from a friend.  The friend had removed the original hard drive and replaced it with a smaller.  The computer has been a mess, but that's another story.  No installation disk came with the computer, however, it doesn't have the product key on the back of the case.  I replaced the hard drive with one more great I had on hand and then used an OEM disc 'generic' to reinstall XP, which works perfectly with the product key of the computer.  However, this computer must die, product key can be moved to any other computer.  The product key is the original computer motherboard.

  In short, a product key of your laptop if it is by the OEM product key, will not work on another computer.  No matter how legitimate the software's product key will not work on another computer, it is not transferable.  Product keys for the full retail version of Windows can be moved to another computer; However, the key to product can only be used on one computer at a time.  If the computer in question is delivered with Windows XP preinstalled, it is extremely unlikely that nothing else than the version the manufacturer OEM has been used.

• I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  * Original title: get the product key

  I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  Hello

  Your question is not very clear to understand.

  If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

  There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

  Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

  Try Amazon.com, etc.

  ___________________________________________________________

  And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

  You tell us what type of license you have.

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

• Can I find the product key associated with my hardware?

  material that I was originally designed for Windows Vista 64-bit, but the product key is no longer available, and the Vista installation is not available out of.

  Is there a way to know legally what the product key is related to my hardware in such a situation, or I'm completely out of luck?

  Hello

  At the operating system pre-installed (Dell, HP, etc.)?

  If so:

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

  They should do this for a fee, if they are still available.

  The relocation method above does not normally 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 activate Windows, the product key already in use

  Original title: product key already in use.

  Recently, my computer crashed (power).  Try to avoid problems with my hard drive, I bought the same computer exactly on the line.  I installed my old hard drive on the newest computer and all is well... Except, when trying to activate my Windows Vista Ultimate OS I get the error message "The key of product already in use" Microsoft site confirms that the product key is authentic, but still will not let me activate.  All solutions?

  Your old computer had a "Retail" or "OEM" of Windows installed version?

  OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be activated on another motherboard. The only exception is the 'mother' is exactly the same make / model / part number as the original motherboard.

  Commercial versions can be moved from one computer to another without problem except that the the phone activation may be required.

  Contact Toshiba if it is a machine of toshiba and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ask Toshiba about it

  Hey Toni Sassine

  use your microsoft software licenses are yours

  you don't have to rebuy unless you move to a different computer licensed oem software

  If your microsoft software is pre-installed it is licensed oem and it related to the first machine that is installed the life of this machine

  If a retail license it can be moved to another computer but only installed on a machine at any time

  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
