• Have tried to enter the product key from the back of my pc, I get a message that is not valid.

  I get a message to activate Windows, but when I enter the product key from the back of the pc, told me that it is not valid. I've used Windows every day. that's some update? (I'm running Vista). I have done a few months ago after repairing the pc, but the number has worked well. I have the installation disc of Windows that came with the computer, but did not know if the "repair my computer" would do the trick. Anyone have this problem?

  Hello

  ·         Where there any material changes done on the computer when it was repaired?

  ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

  First of all, I suggest you to contact your computer manufacturer and check the valid activation key. Follow these methods and check if that helps.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to refer to this article and check if it helps:

  Resolve activation problems

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-activation-problems

  Method 2:

   

  If Windows detects that the hardware on your computer has changed significantly and the previous method does not resolve your problem, you may need to contact Microsoft for help. To see the list of phone numbers Microsoft Activation Centers worldwide, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  For more information, see Microsoft...

  You receive an error message after you enter the product key when you try to install Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310637

  Note: The product key you use must be used with the correct disk version. You must use the disc that came with your license.

  For example, if you have an OEM license, then this license can be used only with a Pro XP OEM disc. OEM licenses are licenses that come with your computer, usually the product key is stuck on the side or at the top of the computer, or a laptop.

  If you have a retail license, you must have a retail XP Pro Version. Retail licenses are FPP (full packaged product) and often have the license on a yellow or orange sticker.

  If you have an enterprise license (Volume License), you must have a Corporate Version of the XP Po. These are usually only available for large networks.

  The license sticker will be a version, it is an example for an OEM version: X 11-37156

  

  Make a note of your version and find the disk corresponding to this version.

  A product key can be activated a limited number of times, if your product key has been activated before it can be reactivated as long as it is to be reinstalled on the same machine. Reactivation must be made by phone, if not, you need to change the product key.

  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.

• Instalation of Windows XP Home, but I lost the product key. My old computer died. How do I install it in a new computer.

  I have Windows XP Home Edition Cd. But I lost the product key. My old computer is ded. How do I install it in a new computer.

  If your XP is preinstalled on your old computer, it is an OEM installation and cannot be moved to the new.

  If you bought a copy retail full XP, then your key should be in the case of CD holding the disc.

  If you have lost you don't have a chance and will need to purchase a new license for Windows. MS sells more than XP, and in stores, stocks are running out. eBay (and other sites) lists the number of available items - which most is a counterfeit.

  You should consider buying a newer OS, assuming that your hardware is compatible.

  If your license of Windows 7 is an upgrade:

  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.

• Questions by activating the product key from a windows machine pre-installed 8

  Hi all

  I bought this machine pre-installed windows 8 for the laptop dell inspiron model 3521, with a friend who stays in Doha, the Qatar. I stay in Pune, Maharashtra, India. When I got my hands on the machine, windows was still not enabled surprisingly. I called the customer service dell Sunday, who confirmed that it was purchased in the Gulf and it is pre-installed windows machine 8. The Executive of the customer asked me to call Monday for anywhere between 09:00 and 18:00 to get the product key.  When I asked my friend about activation, it was completely dropped on activation or reinstallation of windows 8 on top of pre-installed windows 8 OS. I guess he bought the machine pre installed and active windows 8, but somehow, through someone, windows has been reinstalled and the resettlement process could not brought the product key from the BIOS.

  Now, as I had fun at hand, because it is Sunday, I searched a few tools retrieve the product key from the BIOS, and I was finally able to get their hands on the product key of my machine, but has not managed to activate my windows using command prompt (using slmgr slui.exe) and user interface. Here is the message I get.

  

  

  Download windows 8 ISO from Microsoft and reinstall windows 8 is the only option that remains for me? Y at - it no work aroun

  Please kindly help
