• Unable to activate Windows Vista due to the 'security error.

  I have another computer that is currently "hard down" with hardware problems. I tried to use the startup disk original this machine to download Vista on a laptop instead.  I thought that either he would be acceptable since it would be only currently used on a PC, or later - as is typical with Microsoft software on shelf - it could be loaded on a desktop and two laptops.  How can I activate Vista on this laptop without the 'security error", at least temporarily.

  Hey Mark_L_Storm

  If vista is preinstalled on the computer "hard down", that it is linked to the original machine it is installed

  It cannot be transferred to another machine

  If a retail vista license, it can be transferred to another machine

  but the rule is a vista = vista anytime facility license

  "or later — as is typical with Microsoft software on shelf - it could be loaded on a desktop and two laptops."

  This isn't the case at all

  a vista license = a vista installation

• Error - product key is in use. Unable to activate Windows Vista.

  Original title: activate windows.

  the system notifies my to activate my version of windows, when I followed the procedure, a message with the error code to show me that my product key is in use.

  wait for the amiable assistant yor

  concerning

  This happens often because he sees it used already on your own computer (it can not make a difference).  If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Try to activate Vista's problem reports, but get the message "Windows incident reports are disabled." and some settings are managed by your system administrator

  Original title: trying to activate the Vist problem reports, but get message "Windows problem reports are disabled."

  "Windows problem report is disabled." I can't activate the problem reports and Solutions on my Windows Vista computer.  When I click on "Change settings", I would be prompted with the following message if poster "some settings are managed by your system administrator."  It's personal PC at home.  I don't know how to activate it.  I already went to political group & register to adjust some settings.  But still unable to activate this.

  All settings are disabled as this.

  This problem only recently.

  Method 1

  System Restore does not work.

  Method 2

  Disable the antivirus software does not work.

  But after some research, I realized that the problem could be due to a recent installation of a PC anti-frustration software called Soluto (the star was "Activate Crash Handler Soluto").  It worked after that.  After uninstalling, I rebooted the PC system.  After the reboot, I checked the reports on the problems and Solutions and found I could now adjust advanced settings.  I have also reinstalled the software, Soluto and ensured that this time, "activate Crash Handler Soluto" not was not checked (i.e. enabled).

• I m unable to activate windows after formatting my pc 8?

  I upgarded windows 7 to windows 8 I bought from microsoft.

  but after formatting my pc, I am unable to activate it. It shows error always activate windows.
  Please help if anyone know the solution.
  I tried activation by telephone, but he always says "IT MUST BE A MISTAKE TECHNIQUE".
  Help, please...

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

  Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

  You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

  And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

  When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

  Then you can explain what happened.

• Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

  I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM. If I can get a copy of a disk of Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I want to know if I can use my OEM key for activate Vista 64-bit, if I had to do a full clean install?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
  You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.

• Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key

  Well, I m using window vista Home premium, but I don, t ve produst the other key to activity from my window

  * original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *

  Hi gulabsher,

  You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation.  The original supplied with the software should do just fine.  However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).

  If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software.  Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country
  and click Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
