type of product key and he says that's not the right number

I typed in the product key, but he says that's not the right number.  I checked it several times.  It's a HP Windows Vista Home Premium.

As HP shipped computers with Windows preinstalled, it is likely that you are using the incorrect product key. The Windows product key is usually in a label in the computer chassis, while the office is usually available to a box or envelope.

    Please note this step #9

    If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

    I PUT IN THE PRODUCT KEY NOW IT SAYS THAT MY BIOS HAS NEED OF LICENSE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME

    Trevor,

    Since it is a subject as serious please would mention what exactly the error message to avoid any misunderstanding about the advice you are given.

    A Bios license message seems to make no sense as long as the bios is a piece of hardware that is part of the motherboard of your computer.

  • My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    Hello

    You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, 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.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    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.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • Windows is asking to specify a product key, but then says it is not valid for this addition of windows.

    Three months ago my computer was so full of errors, I had to delete it.  I used all the discs I have, but for some reason my Windows went from Vista to 7.  I know I couldn't have updated online, because I had no internet access after that my computer has been cleared.  So he had to be the software I already had.  Microsoft now requires my product key.  I blew it off the power for a while, thinking it was just a fluke, but now it seems rather insistent.  I don't know what to do. I can't find anything online that corresponds to this particular problem.  My product key is taken directly from my box and I don't know what else to use.  Help?

    The windows key is specific to the version of installed win. So if you installed from a win7 disc you need the key published with this disc of win7

    So either you have installed a trial version of win7 from cd or you got the disc from someone else - and no key has been provided

    If your PC came with pre-installed Vista key on the label fixed on the computer is the key to Vista and cannot be used with Vista or PC recovery to the disks

    If you qualify for the free Win7 upgrade when you bought a Vista PC disk would be a win7 update disc and you would have been provided with the Win7 key

    Please help or at least point me in the right direction. Thank you

    My advice would be to remove the adapter and know what brand is and go to the website of support to him and to find the right driver, he needs.  There should be some kind of identification tag on.

    There are literally dozens of broadcom drivers that might be, and since you said you have a custom built PC, I got hit with a driver, and unfortunately it did not work.

    It is a part not HP so it will take some manufacturers for this driver.
