Transfer various associated Microsoft software license to another machine

Hi, I'm an IT professional in my 40s with a very computer-household hybrid, a woman and children. Among those who are two highschoolers with laptops Windows (7 & 8), both with desktop licenses. The desktop versions are slightly different: one is without a subscription, the other is a subscription version. The other day one of them (with Windows 8) is accidentally deleted when turned on, and now the disc (probably) has a scratch or something, because even if the laptop does not start, it will not connect more. He blocked idefinitely after the name of user and password.

So I bought a new laptop and a new drive (Finally, I should just buy a new drive, but that's how the wife wanted to), with windows (8) on this issue, and now I want to transfer licenses. The idea is that the oldest Gets the laptop broken with a new disk, the second child gets the new laptop, and the third laptop (older) will become a game-laptop for me with Linux on it. So he only owes me some isseus license - in fact, I'll be throwing a (license Windows-7). If everything goes as I want, I will stay with two laptops Windows-8, both with office on them. And for me who will not be a matter of concern to Microsoft somehow.

Now, while I can not connect, I can access the file system of the disk broke when I put a live CD of Ubuntu in there. And of course, I have full access to the other two laptops. So my questions are the following:

-Can I use access to the broken disk file system to retrieve the windows and office licenses?
-These licenses are transferable to another disk on another machine?
-Does it matter what version of office that I use on one or the other?

OK, I solved differently now. It turns out that the laptop most recent has been boot UEFI on and the former does not. I now put your old hard drive in the laptop more recent and it starts. But of course, after all the glory of the moment, office always moaned. I had "detected a change in the material" and wants me to re - subscribe in two days lest I lose my license. Big buzz-kill, after all that work.

Anyway, I don't know yet how I'm supposed to reinstate the license, although I don't know that I have the code somewhere.

  • You need to move folio associated application already released to another machine.

    Hello

    I need to pass a folio to the machine for a new designer.

    The associated application is online on the iOS app store.

    What is the best practice for moving the files sources and folio to a new machine, maintainging the opportunity to update our iOS app?

    In future versions will you be able to export files in folio, to import? Should this be done on cloud instead?

    Thank you!

    Richie

    What version of InDesign are you using? If you the designer of the source use InDesign CS6, simply package files and transfer them. If the designer was using CS5/CS5.5, the person transferring the files needed to package the files and manually add all active overlay that wan't included in the package. When the target designer receives the files, he or she must check the overlays to ensure that they are still targets.

    Once the transfer is complete, the new designer should open the folio in the Folio Builder Panel and use the command to recreate a link to create a link to the articles to the new location of the source files. You can learn more about this process here:

  • Can I transfer my OEM license on another computer and throwing away the old pc?

    I have 2 old PC without any hardware in them with the product key OEM on top. I want to be legal even with not having not the money to keep buying more licenses just to stay legal. I transfer these keys on my computer principal in VMS (Virtual Machines) and used to test and evaluate and be legal or licensing die with these computers? If they do not die with these computers, just buy equipment for computers to bring back to life? I want that some virtual machines to evaluate/test/etc. Also, I believe I read that even installing the same licenses on computer 2 times (partitions) is illegal? How can this be good? If this is true, then, no wonder that Microsoft makes so much money and it goes so hacking on. I n my questions I've seen where to transfer the license to another PC and throw, stills activate, (stupid question) but making them legal with MS? : P

    -Geek Windows - 7 is better that any OS I have and never HAVE!

  • You can transfer the Pack Windows Media Center on another computer Windows 8 Pro?

    When Media Center Pack goes free for win8 Pro, I submit one.

    When I update with the key Media Center Pack, I see the LICENSE AGREEMENT on the terms of transfer software.
    I have a question:
    It is said bind Media Center Pack to your computer for activation, this means that you can not transfer a Media Center Pack to another computer, but dose the win8 pro which update this Media Center Pack also link to this computer?
    Or just the Media Center Pack has been linked to, the win8 pro which update this Media Center Pack can be transferred to another computer?
    Can someone give me an official response?

    If you remove the installation of Windows 8 Pro of the current computer, then activate it on another computer, you can then move the Media Center license on another computer. Media Center license is dependent on installation of Windows 8 Pro enabled. He could never be associated with the computer because it requires an operating system.

  • I got my MAC computer crash and need to move my PS license to another Mac. How can I do this?

    I have three licenses or PS I bought. I have a license to MAC that is stuck on a MAC that has crashed. How can I transfer the license to another MAC? And is it possible to change my Win licenses to MAC licenses?

    Whether or not you can license (s) the software on another machine depends on which type of license you have.  If you have 3 single user licenses, each of them supports have two active facilities, and you can contact the Adobe Support via chat and ask them to reset the activation if you need to recover that which is lost/inaccessible.  You should be able to install only on the new mac if you have a single-user license and use the serial number to activate it.

    If you have a volume license then it is another story and I do not quite understand.
