Unable to activate Windows XP, error: If invalid code because it vaiolated the terms of use.

Original title: I made a mistake when I tried to validate my number.

I have 2 licensed processors for Windows XP.  Recently, I changed the hard drive on my laptop for a larger capacity and when I tried to authenticate my installation it told me that my code was not valid because it violates the terms of use or something like that.  When I answered the questions, I thought he was asking me how my software can be loaded on computers and I said two.  Currently, it is not loaded on another computer.  So, when I remove the old drive and install it on the new drive, it will still only loaded on computers.

How can I fix it?  When I called the number back once again to try to go through the process again, it's just flat told me it was an invalid button and that's it.  I bought myself, and I know it is loaded only on this one computer.
Help!
Thank you

  • Unable to accept the terms of use, which is needed to manage the security of the family

    Hello

    I have a new laptop with Windows 8, which I created two users - one for me and one for a child (Standard user - and Coachman on behalf of child) (Administrator). I created a real account for the child and filled out all the necessary information - my live account has been used for a few years, but I update personal information.

    When I try to manage parental controls from the Control Panel, I get an error message indicating that I should go to account.live.com to agree to terms of use. I can't find any place to accept the terms of use, or my account og the child account. I looked for a solution and found that many have had similar problems. One of the solutions that seeems to help was to connect to fss.live.com, but this page just redirects to a generic MS information page of security for the family.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I managed to find a solution, not an elegant solution, but it will keep your real account (parent1) to monitor your kids.

    1. create a new live account (parent2)
    2. create a new account admin on the PC using the new live account (parent2)
    3. connect to the computer with the admin account and create an account for child
    (using either an og existing live new account - don't forget to check the child...)
    4. you should now be able to manage via the parental control panel
    5. Add a new parent in parental control (your old existing live account - parent1)
    Some steps are probably not necessary, but I managed to get the "accept the terms of use" hampers by following these steps.

    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!

  • 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.

  • Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

    Original title: invalid product key :(

    Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

    You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

    If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. 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.
