This product key for Vista Ultimate is for 2 users; the computer tells me that it is already in use, and it is the second computer. Then I don't understand what the problem is.
product activation key
There is no such thing as a ' 2 License User"for Windows.
It * may * be for 2 processors. These 2 processors MUST be on the same physical motherboard.
You use WIndows out-of-contract of license and will have to purchase a new license to the second machine.

Windows 7 product key for OEM with the disc no valid retail install. problem from 32 to 64-bit?
I bought a CD OEM Windows 7 a few years when Microsoft was running a promotion for students to go to College. It was directly from Microsoft, if I remember. It was just a single CD, just a 32 bit disc and had the CD key. Installed and everything worked well. I have clean same Win7 installed again on the same machine a bit down the line.
But I'm upgrading my computer parts and to move to an SSD and use my old HD that has Win7 installed as my main document reader. I also want to use 64 bit (which takes care of my computer). I had misplaced my original disc, but was able to borrow a friends to install Win7 64 bit.The problem that I am running is that, after I installed Win7 and entered my CD he said that it was not valid. Is the CD key, I got only valid for 32-bit? Which really sucks if it is haha. Or is there a problem with the clean installation using a key on a DVD retail OEM? Like I didn't have this problem when I clean installed since the OEM CD, I had until I lost it.Thanks for any info!-AnthonyI bought a CD OEM Windows 7 a few years when Microsoft was running a promotion for students to go to College.

It wasn't an OEM license, this is a retail upgrade license.

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.

When I try to update for DirectX 11 9 installer tells me that I'm already up to date
Running Win 7 64 Pro
Any advice on how I can actually upgrade to DX 11? (or 10 also!)

What problem are you having?
To use the DirectX Diagnostic tool to determine the version of DirectX installed on your computer, follow these steps:
- Type dxdiag in the start search box
- Press enter
- On the System tab, view the version of DirectX displayed on the DirectX Version line.

I have entered my product key for validation number, but he says that it is incorrect.
Product key
I have entered my product key for validation number, but he said it's a mistake - I double checked and that's okay!Hello
It is easy sometimes to, for example, read B instead of 8 (or vice versa). Another consequence is also possible (e.g., Y and T, C and G). Try to imagine what letter it might be. It cannot hurt to keep trying until you get it right. Once you get it right I would say saving for future occasions when this may be necessary.
There are characters that are not used: E, U, I, O, A, S, L, Z, N, 1.0

Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?
I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?
To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate. If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case. It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read). If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download). You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation. It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.
I hope this helps. If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?
Good luck!

* 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.

I have the product key for windows vista home basic 32-bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me
I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
