Trying to activate, but it does not accept 0s?

I am trying to activate our copy of Windows 7 with product key only I found on the sticker, but when I try to enter a 0 it says "unacceptable character". How to do this?

Are you sure that you correctly type all the letters? Look at B and 8 G and 6, etc..  Product keys are not 1, I, O, or 0.

Product key - where to find the product key

If you bought a computer with Windows preinstalled would a certificate of authenticity (COA) sticker somewhere on your computer. It will say what version of Windows you have and will also have an alphanumeric code at 25 on it - this is your product key. If it is not on your computer look in your documents or on any case of CD/DVD that was included with the computer.

If you purchased Windows 7, it should be included in the retail box.

If you purchased Windows 7 online and downloaded that the key should be sent to you by e-mail.

    Hello. I would like to activate my educational program CS3 (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunately, it does not accept my serial number. What can I do? I delayed the program on my old computer, but it does not accept the activation on the new laptop.

    Make sure you use the correct serial number.  Quickly find your serial number

    If you do not disable the original installation, then it is possible that your two activations permits were used, and you need to reset your counter to activate.  For this you must contact the Adobe Support via chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you ask for more than that they will tell you that they cannot offer you any support.

  • Help check out MGADiag, bought the new retail version of Windows 7 Pro, but he does not accept the activation key.

    Hello

    I just build a new complete PC and decides to get Windows 7 Pro for it. It cost me £179 on amazon from a seller who has good reviews.

    All looks well and many of such security features mentioned on this site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/software.aspx#packaging

    Are in place (change holograms that you change the view, etc.). However when I enter the product key, I get this message:

    "Code:

    0xC004C008

    Description:

    The activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used. »

    I tried to go there several times, checking the caps lock etc.. The version says ' origin: Ireland ' on the insignia case of authenticity and the seller told me that before I bought it and it would work as a version of the United Kingdom's retail. The additional complication is I am currently based in France (where I tried to activate it since), but as an English speaker needed an English language version of Windows.

    I have run the MGADiag.exe and this is the output:

    ----------------------------------------

    I so I spent £179 on a version false? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Zak

    A little update just for your information. 2 days and 5 calls later (I needed to technical management, through the population of Activation - no direct number so sometimes the transferred call didn't work!) I now have a version of Windows active :) work

    However the question turns out to be that my legitimate version (package and all disks of good mine) and it's legitimate keys used did not match exactly.

    The unused key was for a version of Windows 7 Edition product update Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro, so that's why it did not work on the new facility I was trying.

    I contacted the seller amazon to let them know about this problem as it is possible that there is a lot that is perhaps not entirely legitimate.

    Once again thanks to the MVP here and people I talked on the phone before this is resolved, I suspect that this could become a problem growing with Windows 7, as people are not super keen on 8 and 7 is a solid BONE with a little support left? So even if you pay a rate of 'good' for your Windows 7 disks, be aware that you can not get exactly what you expected, and maybe it would be nice if MS has always sold direct to counter this kind of question?

    Thanks again to both for your advice, MVP

    Yours sincerely,

    Zak.
