  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  If only, you have purchased a license of Windows 7, you can only legally get an installation of Windows 7.

  Microsoft had a special offer for a reduced price Windows 7 Home Premium family package for three computers at some stage. but not for 4.

  And memory which was a license upgrade.

  Here is the Vista Forums.

  It would be preferable for you to post in the Windows 7 Forum installation and explain where you bought your license / s when you post here.

  I have 13 element to WIN and just got my MacBook so I downloaded the MAC version of 13 items and trying to allow my serial number, but the message that this serial number is not valid (I type the exact Win serial number I have my account on the Adobe website)

• Re-install Windows 8 pro on PC, how many times before that the product key is not valid?

  Due to problems with Windows Update, and more specifically by using the 8.1 free update, I had some problems and have re-isntalled twice now on this PC.

  You install previous motherboard no re-day after the first installation.

  First install on the replacement motherboard activated via telephone due to the new material.

  2 more reinstall without a phone on the same PC.

  The general consensus is that, once you get to the installation of 5th Activation of the phone is necessary.

  How many times before that the product key is not valid?

  I only ask that the errors are related to data that is not stored on my PC.  and given that Windows 8 is nowhere near the performance and stabilty before I used the App store update I have to reinstall until it's resolved.

  Required to reactivate by phone after the 5th reinstalled only happen based on the license.

  If you make significant changes with a license pre-installed as a motherboard, then you will not be able to use the phone or Internet activation.

• I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 last week. I reinstalled Microsoft Office Standard 2007, but the website says that my product key is not valid.

  The software was initially loaded on the computer that has been upgraded.  The upgrade would not work, so the technician needed to install the full version of Windows 7.  When I try to install Office 2007 Standard, the registration Web site says that the product key is not valid. The software can be loaded on three computers (that took place), but a computer is the computer I want to re - install the program on.

  Use the phone activation option and speak to an operator.

  I try to install my Adobe Acrobat 9 on a newly purchased computer, but getting the message that my serial No. is not valid. I faced the problem of the last time I changed my PC, but Adobe offers support.

  Acrobat 9 is not compatible with the current operating system, which is probably the reason why they don't support you, but they still let you know if your s/n is valid or not... Try to contact them again and ask for this information.

• Try to get an install Image, but she says that my product key is not valid

  Hi all!

  Recently I just tried to install Windows on a Mac and when I try to get an install Image it says: "invalid product key".

  I do not understand why this happens upwards I'm getting the key to product directly out of the back of a laptop computer, the only problem is that I don't know what OS it is.

  Any help on this is appreciated!

  Also, I am turning the question on my Mac is because the laptop does not work, I have another that I could try to use!

  Thank you!

  You can't use a mac on windows key and you cannot use a key off a lapot broken to activate windows on a mac.  You need a valid windows key for your operating system.  What OS are you trying to install?  How are you trying to install?
