More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

• Invalid product key: Re-install WinXP Pro after crash of HD and replacement on the old computer.

  After the hard disk crash and replacement on the old computer, reinstall Windows XP - Pro.

  I have genuine WinXP Pro, with product key, etc. on the sticker on the computer.
  Install does not accept the product key. Error: the product key is valid.
  Several CAREFUL attempts, so I do not know as I type the key correctly.
  New HARD drive is SATA (former was IDE), so need to massage WinXP to accept SATA install.
  Set of installation is Windows XP Pro SP3, with SATA drivers (with n - Lite).
  Help!

  When is the key being denied? -Keep in mind that there are "excluded" characters (for example, 0 and I etc.) and those that are very easily confused (8/B, 2/Z, etc.) and, if the answer is in the system rather than by the activation servers, it is likely that this is the problem.

  I can only suggest that you keep plugging away with the product key update tool until you find the right key.

• Renewal of Acrobat Pro DC, will not take or product key code

  I have been using Acrobat Pro DC for months - no problem with the original configuration and the issuance of the licences.  Then it hit me.  I am typing my product Code or key in the boxes 'Serial number' to do, but we should not letters.  In addition, there are six boxes for the entry and my Code produced and key both have five blocks.  What should I do?  More details below.

  Friday, I started to have a screen that says that the license was necessary and gave me an option to start my day 32 767 trial or license product. I started the trial (he is 87 years old, after all - should be good), but today he says my trial was expired.  No problem, I dug the disk and e-mail, who have all five blocks of two codes, called the product code, called the key.  The product code is released the cover of the installation DVD.  The key came out of the email with the download instructions.  They are different.

  After signing in, I am required to enter my serial number.  I have searched all over the CD of cash and other materials for a serial number and do not see one.  I checked the Web site for instructions on the search for a serial number, and the only thing that is there is the Product Code.  When I try to enter the Product Code, it doesn't let me because the first field only takes numbers, while the Product Code starts with a letter.

  It is very disappointing for a product that is already overpriced and far worse than the previous version.

  How can I fix it?

  your serial number consists of 6 blocks of 4 numbers = 24 digits.

  Hi KevinDitner,
   
  I'm afraid, but you can't do that. Your product key Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) should be used only for the laptop which came with it.
   
  You can get the CD of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) by contacting the Support team customer Microsoft.

  I just reinstalled Windows XP home sp3, and I forgot the product key. Where can I find it? I have 30 days to activate it.

  Too late.

  The product key is on the packaging (box or envelope) that contains your Windows XP Home CD.

  If you have lost the package, then before you reinstalled you might have found the key to the registry using one of the available tools (e.g., http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/).  Now that you have reinstalled, however, that the key is missing.

• Re-installing xp-pro/sp3 with repair option, breaks down, unable to activate XP,

  Initially, it was suggested that I use the original installation CD to reinstall my copy of XP/Pro on my laptop.
  original problem was that my wifi card would not work.  Not at all.

  In any case, I read not (before..) to save files of activation from the directory windows\system32 (wpa.dbl) of the system, (ugh...)

  I started in cd, said install,.
  He finds a partition (d:\windows), set up a repair
  (I assume that it started with the CD in the drive c :)...))

  Then they gave me the following loverly error message:

  Product activation Windows (window title)

  A problem has prevented Windows exactly check the status of your license for this computer.
  This copy of Windows is not active.

  To continue your copy can be activated musdt with Microsoft Now.

  You wish to proceed?  Yes/No.

  It (even if I do nothing) then proceeds to reboot after 30 seconds...

  and no, I can't in 'normal' mode or in safe mode, but I can switch to trunk/command line mode.

  Now. I also followed an article of $ m to try to disable cause scripts preventing activation of the race.

  SO no I'm up the proverbial Creek without a paddle, as the system starts.

  Help, please...

  (I did however save the wpa.dbl dating back to 2008 (and restored the just), then maybe it stops at least again... auto-redémarrer)
  just rebooted in 'normal' mode, once again, and he says:
  Yes, the reviews, but just reset the system again...

  Help?

  at least if I could get in turn on in safe mode, I might be able to solve this problem...

  Finally I was able to solve the problem of Windows Product Activation. It's a long story, which might have summer cut short with good knowledge about the system so I'll share some thoughts and I hope to help someone else.

  No doubt - a new clean install of Windows XP may be the best option to choose, and the quickest way to walk for a Windows XP system work - that is, not talk about data and especially - applications that need to be reinstalled, reactivated, configured, customized, etc.. That's exactly, what held me to the top of a table shaved installation of Windows XP.

  This fixation error is pretty easy, if you know what to do - find out what actually works, yet. As some of you may have experienced, even Ctrl + Alt + Del and the Task Manager are out of the picture. Curiously, after having the system sitting there for a while, I noticed that the timer is still running. And this knowledge has created an opportunity access key.

  I went back and started Windows XP mode safe mode with command prompt. Note: This is the only boot option, you have to access the system as an administrator (Safe Mode or the network will not work, because they both rely on Explorer [the office], which does not either.) Therefore, work with the command prompt. Once you have access to it, you can access the Scheduler with "AT". I downloaded "MS_WindowsXP_KeyUpdateTool_enu.exe" Microsoft web site and set the Scheduler to run this application. I then rebooted the system in normal startup mode. Once the error message comes up again (what was expected after login), I chose 'Yes', which we know is not anything but do not register a new. After some time, the recording of "MS_WindowsXP_KeyUpdateTool_enu.exe" window came and gave me the opportunity to enter the product key Windows XP system. After I had re-recorded with success, I had to reboot and the system is running.

  Please keep in mind that some services were still not running. The automatic update of windows would not start or the BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer) service, which is required to run Windows updates successfully. To fix that, I did an energetic reapply Windows XP SP3, which fixed nearly all the questions and the known system was running like a charm. I did have to worry about data or programs that had to be reinstalled and reconfigured custom. Any income in the order as expected.

  Good luck to all!
