• Unable to activate Windows Vista after upgrading the hard drive.

  install on HD replacement

  HD crashed.  Bought the new HD 2 t.  installed Vista with system recovery disks.  Operating system will not work.  What should I do?

  Unfortnunately - since it is a process of recovery provided OEM - only help you can really get is OEM themselves.

  Windows XP can have trouble with the size of the player (depending on the installation media level of service pack that you use) or controller drivers.

  Are you sure it was your hard drive crashed and nothing else has been damaged?  Could be a bad controller, bad memory even a poor diet.

  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.

• Wiping Hard Drive, Reinstalled with Windows 7 with upgrade disk product key error

  My computer has been acting upward, so I back up hard drive and erased the hard drive with the BACK CLEAN ALL command. I then reinstalled windows 7 from my Windows 7 Upgrade disk and restore my files on hard disk. The computer works fantastic and returned half of the memory of the hard drive. A few days later, I get a message on the screen that I have 30 days left until I can produce a product key from the original Windows installation, does not accept the upgrade product key.

  I tried the product key located on the bottom of my laptop for Windows Vista comes with the HP computer. It does not work and it gave me no disk backup for Windows Vista from HP.

  I called Microsoft and they told me to contact HP for the product key. I see on this forum that someone else has written a similar plea, because it is a plea, and HP said to contact Microsoft. In other words, Microsoft says to contact HP and HP says to contact Microsoft.

  I use Microsoft since Windows 3.2 operating systems and have bought a lot of products of them. It's my 3rd HP laptop, my wife is on her 2nd HP laptop. Well you know what? If I don't get this resolved quickly by one of your companies, and I'm not remember Microsoft, I'm through the two of you.

  I don't see where Microsoft is not being fooled off but when it's to the detriment of a loyal customer, so don't worry. HP is also responsible for this. An upgraded version of Windows 7 (to upgrade from Vista or XP) should be smart enough (and I thought it was) to remember that I had the original version and its product key should be enough. Also I don't never told me that I had to keep the old product keys, and it doesn't matter anyway because the product key is always available in my laptop HP, but it does not work.

  I'm not buying another HP without your help and actually buying an Apple Mac for my wife and my next computer if it is not resolved. I think that HP is probably as bad as Microsoft so that it will not be solved and I'm not shelling out more money for something I already own.

• I'm trying to activate windows 7 with a valid msdn retail sales license

  I'm trying to activate windows 7 with a license valid retail MSDN, but it does not work. Microsoft support told me to ask here - anyone know?

  MSDN provides Windows 7 license in retail, Volume, and the academic channel.

  As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work.

  On MSDN or TechNet product key

  They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.

  In your case, what has probably happened is, you bought a license MSDN key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sold it to you probably sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use.

  If the copy of Windows 7 that you installed an upgrade, please note the following:

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Unable to activate Windows XP Home Edition after the repair facility.

  Of that, I was running a Dell Dimension 5000 bought from the Dell website in 2005. After this computer from run very slowly, I decided on an upgrade. So I removed the hard drive of this computer with XP Home Installation and everything what it intact and plugged the hard drive into a completely new computer (that I bought and customized piece by piece). I also installed Windows XP Pro using the ability of XP to run dualboot. Now the Pro works well, but has of course none of the programs of the host OS installed as even if Pro and Home are installed on the same drive C, Pro of course did not the registry of home settings. That's fine, but when I chose the House to the splash screen immediately after my computer upward once again, I have encountered an error saying that Windows has shut down the computer to prevent damage etc. by a blue screen of death. So I fixed installed House, by inserting the Home CD in the CD drive (which is also new and I bought, not even the one from my old computer to 2005), choice of APPETIZER and not the repair console and then clicking R to repair the detected existing OS. I fixed installed and I was thrilled when the problem has been resolved. When I chose the House and after having set up, I was greeted by the familiar screen with users that I had set up on my PC of 2005. When I clicked the user admin, typed the password, he accepted the password and then a box came up saying I had to activate Windows before I could open a session. By clicking on the number resulted in the user disconnects automatically before the start menu or desktop appeared. Clicking Yes led me to a screen that gives me the choice to choose between online and phone activation. As my entire computer (except for the hard drive) is new, the internet network adapter is also new, and that's why the internet settings (the 2005 model old) which I had not yet changed on the Pro Installation do not allow me to activate via the net. I tried via telephone following all the instructions and punch in the 25 digit code generated by the wizard in the phone and told me that the operator could not generate a code (for me 2 type in the boxes provided and therefore use to activate XP Home). I then shut down the PC, went to the installation of Pro, changed the IP settings according to the instructions given to me by the ISP to the phone and checked the net now works on installation of Pro IE. It worked, and I now turned off, chose the House and tried to activate on the net and there is not yet well make sure that my computer is connected to the net. I even clicked on the phone option and changed my ID by typing my OEM 25 product key numbers and clicking Refresh. I tried again by phone and still could not activate my installation in a House. The installation CD home I used was the 2 me by my Builder (a purple disk saying OPERATING SYSTEM: ALREADY INSTALLED on YOUR COMPUTER). This CD certainly isn't a forgery because I ordered directly from DELL and not even the 2005 Bill to prove it. Is it because I changed my system components and not my hard drive with it, which is the origin of this problem? How can I fix this without backup everything and remove the installation of the House and then re - install?

  "ArjunC" wrote in message News: 3df4138b-2174-4cb1-821e-0527dc60da2c...

  In fact the Windows XP Pro has been installed by the people who moved the hard drive to the new computer. I never asked for it. But remove XP Pro still wouldn't solve my problem. I need to find a way to use my original of 25 characters product key or get a key of success generated by phone so that I can log on to Windows XP Home Edition and continue to use my PC as how I used my old. Some people have told me that I can convince to install MS by phone that I transferred the disk hard - 2 a new computer and then tried a repair but the problem is that all the numbers given on Activation Wizard phone are automated, giving instructions, asking the ID generated by the wizard and then telling me that they are unable to generate an ID for activation. If there is human here, how do you convince a machine of my innocence :)

  You need to reinstall using an XP Home OEM disk - see if one of your friends has one you can borrow. The key on your COA sticker will be valid for this.
  You can also contact Dell and ask them to provide a set of disks in your machine - for a price.

• Unable to activate Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

  I can not activate my new copy of Windows Vista because I was running XP Professional and started to read errors on my hard drive. Thinking it was just a matter of time before she didn't, I bought a new hard drive & a copy of Windows Vista upgrade.

  Thinking that I was OK because I got XP installed on the system, I did a clean install on new hard drive. Nope, XP should be located on the disk where I have installed Vista. I also wanted to keep a working XP if the copy

  I have my CD of XP Professional & key so I understand that I can install XP on the new drive and then install Vista. Is there an easier way? I tried activating by phone & said to call support.

  It is just a hardware change - why is it so difficult? Give me a windows where I can enter my key XP & my Vista key. Is this too much to ask?

  The news of evils, is from XP Pro to Vista Home Premium is not a path of evolution.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/upgrade-your-PC-options.aspx

  Vista upgrade paths to the link above.

  And you can not legally do a clean install with an upgrade disc.

  You bought the wrong Vista Upgrade disc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  "I also wanted to keep a working XP in case copy."

  If the upgrade was possible, what is not, you would not have been able to do the foregoing, as the XP license should be integrated into the Vista upgrade install.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  See you soon.

• Unable to activate Windows 7 Professional in spite of being a reinstall of the same product on the same computer

  Hello. I have a computer that was running Windows 7 Professional. The software has been installed on the computer and authentic and purchased several years ago. Due to problems, I had to reformat the HARD drive and reload Windows 7 Professional on the same computer using the same product key.

  Now it will not activate and comes up with an error 0xC004C020 code which States that "the activation server reported that the Multiple Activation key has exceeded its limit"

  I do not understand why this has happened. I bought the copy of Windows 7 Professional on ebay and I have the box, case and the two original disks of Windows 7 Professional, as well as the authentic product key sticker. He was recharged on the same computer that was originally activated copy (same product key)

  I have attached the report of diagnosis MGA below. Would like to find a solution for this. Thanking you in advance.

  Unfortunately a mass activation key is used by the company to activate several PC and not meant or sold for use by consumers.  Understanding the MAK Activation

  When you mention you bought on eBay that explains it pretty well because there are hundreds of early cases of consumers ripped off on eBay by Volume and TechNet keys sold illegally.

  If you don't have any other Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 license to use for the upgrade, what I would do is go ahead a buy Windows 10 and make the Clean 10 Windows Installer that has no complaints and if you stick with the steps in the link results in the best installation of the best OS who's going to stay that way as long as you do.
