The laptop serial number Windows key?

I have an Acer Aspire V3-551-8469 with a broken hard drive.

I can reinstall Windows to disks on a new drive, but I want to use the license key I paid for this unit.  Is it possible to get this Setup with the broken disc key?  The only way I can imagine is via the serial number or SNID on the back.

Thank you.

Hello

If your laptop comes with windows 8 or 8.1, you can install your windows and after installing the windows will activate itself. The key is embedded in the BIOS and windows will take it from there.

If your laptop comes with windows 7 then your key should be on a sticker on the back of the laptop. I don't think that acer can provide you key even if you give them the serial number.

    I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

    Thank you

    Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

    If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

    I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

    Thank you much for the help...

    Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

    Thank you

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop.  Can I load on my laptop to work remotely with the same serial number?

    I use Adobe Pro on my desktop all day at the office and must now manage the work remotely from your laptop as well.  Adobe Pro is essential for my work (Ben stamping, writing, advanced editing, etc.). Can I use the same serial number and installation disc for this load on my laptop?  There is no instructions that deal with this issue, and I know of other programs that I have installed Access desktop or portable.  It's not like I'm giving the use of this product to another user or hacking, so I don't anticipate a problem. Any information is appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi Rebecca,.

    Adobe end user license agreement permits you to install a license for the retail sale of Monkey on 2 computers to any instance.

    For example, you can load Acrobat 9 license on the other computer too.

    I'm not sure but based on the selections of purchase stating you can buy for Mac and Windows for equal opportunities of purchase you are able to install and activate on two different platforms using the same serial number.  I know that this is the case with the purchases of items but Lightroom does not seem to come as often.

  • Acrobat 9 pro reinstall do not accept the valid serial number

    HDrive on my laptop could not and had to quickly get the new laptop and reinstall all programs. Have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro serial number. Reinstalled but the program will not accept the valid serial number for the underlying program, he went from level. This is the product of my Adobe account information. I am a frantic reporter trying to meet deadlines one just noticed I don't have that a few days left of the "30 Giorni", I was given as a test for the PROGRAM I ALREADY paid for! What can I do to fix this? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I checked the forums a bit, but couldn't find a similar question. I'm starting to hate Adobe... no phone support, and 'chat' window, we recommend that you use online now has cobwebs on this subject, it has been sitting there so long w / no activity.

    Yes, uninstall and run the cleanup tool before you install using the cleaning tool CC to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

    In the menu drop-down see what are the options eligible Acrobat 7.

    Failure, know that Acrobat 9 installer can generate a "challenge code". You who give customer service and they give you a response type Code to unlock it so it will take your serial number for Acrobat 9.

    Error: "this serial number is not for a product calling it" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5

  • Installation suite cs6 on my new computer lost serial number or key?

    Hi, I recently bought a new computer, but when I transferred my creative suite 6 to my new computer, I realized that I needed to enter a serial number or key, I do not know... The problem is that the creative suite has been installed when I was in College, and they kept the CD and everything, so I don't have any number. Is it possible, as it is still installed on my old computer to find the serial number if I could use it on my new computer, because I can't really afford to buy a new license.

    Thank you very much.

    Lost information - response #1 in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2008767

    HOWEVER... If CS6 has been installed BY an employee of the University, I THINK that you do not actually have the software, and you will not be able to activate the software because you are not the owner and that you do not have the ID of origin used for initial installation and activation

    It is unclear what problem you are facing... the wrong version or the wrong serial number.  The serial number is likely for the other version.  You don't want the serial number of Windows or the Mac version?

  • Adding computer to the existing serial number

    Problem

    -Serial number * is already in use by the maximum number of computers.

    Question

    -Can I use only two computers, but to use another computer using this serial number, shud I buy the new serial key or I can update the existing serial number

    The only way you can buy a new serial number is if you have a copy of InDesign CS6. This is the only version of InDesign sold that has a "perpetual license". You will pay full price for another copy of the program, which was already 3-1/2 years. It will never be updated and may not work on future operating systems.

    Adobe doesn't sell older versions of InDesign.

    I recently bought Lightroom and installed on one of my computers. I tried to install the program on another computer, I, using the same serial number that I already bought and I am not accepted as it says that the SN is invalid. What should I do?

    It is possible that you downloaded the demo of creative cloud of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, it doesn't bother your catalog, preferences and personal files.

    Download the appropriate version from the link below and install them, your license key is accepted and everything will be fine.
