Serial VISTA key.

An admin or someone would tell me why the serial key for vista that is on the sticker on the bottom of my laptop is different for the serial number that is actually installed...  I bought the Comet, so the laptop I brought is 100% legal, so don't bother even think otherwise.

And I have an original vista I got so I could clean installs. It's a 3rd key legal I.

And then, can someone tell me why I can not turn on 3 legal keys I.

No I can't call microsoft because of the fact that I'm in the middle of nowhere, volunteering as research assistant, and I don't have the money to call microsoft, not to mention the abilty of...  The phone where I went down cannot drop calls to numbers that are on the same island as me...  (Student - very limited, funds suggests, so I invite you would be wasting my time)

The product key shown on the certificate of authenticity (COA) Vista is OEM one. You can use it to activate Vista you need to call MS, activation of the phone, but some users reported that it can be used by the online activation. I can't confirm this.

The product key that HP pre-installed Vista machine is a general HP OEM SLP key. All HP machines use the same key.

I'm not sure of your '3rd legal key', if it was a retail version, yes you can use it with any other machine as long that you have uninstalled the last machine that we but if it was the OEM key, it can only be used for the delivered machine (non-transferable)

There is a 'gray' for your problem, read the sticky post in notebookreview forum, here

Download the tool and save your key, use it to Vista activation in offline mode.

As far as I KNOW, no one saying that the tool was illegal.

  • Missing Windows Vista key

    Hello

    I recently visited Tiger Direct to remove a virus from my dv6000 (bought new at HP in 2008). They advised that it was better to wipe my system and reload everything, so I let that happen. Now I like my version of Windows is not genuine and to enter my product key, but my Windows the license sticker on the bottom of my laptop is unreadable. I went back to Tiger Direct and they said that HP would be able to give me a Vista key if I gave them the serial number on my laptop. Is this true? I would really like to have my fully operational windows in return and am not currently able to upgrade to another operating system.

  • Question about Vista key placed on the bottom of my laptop

    Hi all and sorry for my English :)

    So, I have laptop X 300-11 L Qosmio. I have Win Vista HP DVD without a key. But on my laptop with Vista Home Premium Product key sticker.
    I want to install another Vista, no recovery (too many "useful" programs).

    How can I do? If I install my Vista DVD, laptop tell me - product key isn't ok...
    THX

    You may think of the ability to remove all software pre-installed, you won't use. Nobody is forcing you to have all the. To be honest, I do the same.

    Vista key located under the unit belongs to the operating system included in Toshiba recovery image that you have with your laptop. This key is not a universal key that you can use with each other DVD facilities.

  • My true 32-bit Vista key work with 64-bit?

    I just ordered a SL500 (not yet received) with Windows Vista Ultimate. I wonder if the real key with what he will come will work with Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 as well? Vista Ultimate that comes with the laptop facilities include both x 86 x 64?

    Hi Bear17, welcome to the Lenovo user community!

    Yes, the x 86 Vista key will work with x 64.

    Not the laptop does not come with facilities both x 86 and x 64, so you'll need x 64 media if you decide to spend.

    Use the program above to find the product key in your operating system Vista running and active.

    If a desktop computer: Watch next or back.
    If a laptop: look on the underside.

    If a recovery disk, most of the manufacturer's recovery disks do not need a product key to get back to factory settings.

  • Vista key for vostro 1510 factory downgraded to xp

    I have a vostro 1510 which has a sticker 'vista basic' but came from Dell downgraded to xp.  A month ago, I used the dvd of Vista Bsns provided by Dell with my purchase from xp to vista.  Now, I get a message that my product key is not valid.   The key on the laptop sticker is worn out, and I had to guess some of the letters/numbers, what could be my problem.  Is the key on the sticker good for xp and vista?  If so, I can keep guessing until I understand it.   Or should I be hunting through my paperwork for a different product for vista key which would be provided by Dell with vista dvd?

    First of all, you shouldn't have a Windows Vista sticker with a system provided with Windows Vista Professional with downgrade rights to Windows XP Professional.

    The thumbnail and the certificate of authenticity must be presented for Vista Business Edition. The DVD of resettlement must be Windows Vista Business Edition.

    I recommend that you install the latest version of the BIOS of the Vostro 1510:

    http://ftp.Dell.com/BIOS/V1510A15.exe

    See here for instructions on updating the BIOS:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/updating-the-BIOS/

    Then for OEM Dell reinstallation usually DVD in place upgrade will result in problems with the product activation. You have to clean install Windows Vista Professional via the Dell BIOS and then install the Service Packs and the standalone updates and then drivers for more details see:

    Can I use the Vista key code to activate this Windows 7?

    No, you need the product key for Windows 7, Windows 7 uses its own unique product key. What you can do is to reload the old hard drive, and then try to recover the product key:

  • change serial number key to Windows 7 Home Basic Windows 7 pro

    How to change serial number key to Windows 7 pro to Home Basic to Windows 7 without loss all files and personal data?

    You must clean reinstall Windows 7

    He was a popular workaround to versions of change , but has not been working lately, so it may have been prevented.  But you need to back up your files, because the files should always be supported against failure hard drive if you care for them at all, and especially during the repair or reinstall operations.  So if you do this, you might as well do the Reinstall much higher.

    Stick with the steps, tools and methods in the wiki of blue link and you will have a perfect installation that will stay that way as long as you do.

  • Request full liscence Vista key Vista upgrade

    I had a virus on my windows vista Home premium. the virus makes sure windows does not even start. so I booted from my windows disk and tried to date back my PC to an earlier time. Whenever I tried one says the program is already active and doesn't let me do. The only thing I can do is to reinstall windows. now, when I try to activate my windows, I get the message
    "The Service of software license determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations".

    I don't know what to do. I can't find any details of contact for Microsoft. I don't understand why he thinks that it isn't an upgrade because I still have the windows.old in my documents file. Please someone help. I don't see why I should pay for a new license key.

    We can not help you more away and you must pass the tinme reinstall the correct way and obtaining updates, etc.

    You've been given good advice and I have given you the information on how to get your XP disc.

    Once you have your XP disk > reinstall XP > then go to Vista

    Either follow the directions I gave you or buy a Windows 7 license that Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    Microsoft did not something wrong of you.

    You have a UPGRADE disk, which requires an eligible operating system to use.

    You no longer have that describe the operating system, XP, installed.

    Reinstall it, then upgrade.

    Good luck with it.

    See you soon.

    PS As I already explained to you, enabling it does not install all updates. You should always do.

  • Windows Vista key for different edition is installed, how to fix?

    I have an Acer PC with his side a certificate for Windows Vista Business. However, Windows Vista Home Premium has been installed on it. It is now demanding activation, indicating that previously the typical product key is not valid and not accepting is not the Vista Business product key.

    Is it possible (non-fissuration) I can change the installed Windows Vista Business edition so it will accept the key, without having to do a reinstall complete? Keeping in mind I can't even log.

    Otherwise, a CD to install Windows Vista normal company accepts OEM Acer product key or I will have to try to find the disc from Acer?

    Colin - I think the connection problem because the system is RTM, rather than SP2 - the RTM will feature Mode of Redcued heavily neutered if not authentic, that allows only access via a browser.

    It should be possible to rearm the machine to make it functional again for purposes of data recovery...

    The openg screen, it will offer to open a browser - if your default browser is IE do the following (it won't work in Chrome or Firefox - later)

    Open a window of IE and in the address bar, type C:\Windows\System32 and press the Enter key - IE should open the folder.

    Look down the list of files until you find CMD.exe (or just CMD)

    Right-click on the file and select run as administrator

    In the command prompt window, type the following command

    CSCRIPT SLMGR. VBS /REARM

    and press the Enter key - after a few seconds, you should get a 'success' message, as well as a request to restart - are, and you should have another 30 days to resolve your problem.

    If your default browser is not IE, then start using safe and open IE, in Internet Options, change the default for IE browser, then restart in normal mode and proceed as above.
