  • Get the 'Message (unacceptable)' error while activating my Windows 7 product key.

    * Original title: product key

    When I want to active my windows 7 it ask me to enter the product key, but I can not enter the number (0) and I have this

    Message (unacceptable character)
    

    I've updated since an activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, then I decided to reinstall using either the. ISO file, reset the player's PC or recovery, but I am prompted to enter a product key:

    Click on that later

    Windows 10 automatically reactivates in the coming days.

    Things you should know:

    • A Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key cannot Activate Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own unique product key.
    • By default, the versions of Windows 10 are previously entered, which means, you don't have to enter a product key and should not be invited to enter one as long as you upgraded a activated License of Windows 7 or Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10 Preview build.
       
    • If you perform a clean installation on the first attempt, you will have to start from an activated installation of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
    • If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on Do this later and give it a few days, 10 Windows will be activated automatically.
    • Activation servers may be overwhelmed at the time due to the volume of updates, so give it some time if you get an error of the type ()0XC004E003, 0x8007000D, 0x8007232b or 0x8007007B) 10 Windows will activate eventually as long as you upgrade by using the appropriate method.
    • It does not need to know your product key Windows 10, read "Understanding Product Activation in Windows 10:

    Figure 10 Windows Product Activation:

    In previous versions of Windows, when you have installed a version upgrade of Windows, if you want to reinstall the upgrade version, you had first reinstall permissible version where you upgraded, reactivate, then upgrade again and reactivate again.

    With Windows 10, this is no longer the case. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 and enable, you can simply create a bootable copy on DVD or USB and reinstall all Windows 10 without having to reinstall the release candidate and it automatically reactivates.

    Quote:

    "10 keys Windows handles differently. When you migrate to Windows 10 via Windows Update to 8.1 Windows or Windows 7, the process saves your eligible hardware and OS computer with a Microsoft Product Activation Server. The device is considered as a device Windows 10.

    "Thereafter every time you re-install (or clean install) installation check in with these servers, concludes the unique installation ID and product validation.

  • Why my computer says 'unacceptable character' when I try to put in the product key?

    For some reason any my wallpaper went, he says "this copy of windows is not genuine."  So I'm on here looking for answers, the site recommended to retype the product key, but will not let me type some characters. I'm putting in the exact same, what should I do?

    This would happen only if you try to enter characters other than numbers and letters. Don't include any hyphens when entering the key. You should also include all other symbols.

    I am registered for the new program to update xbox live dashboard beta and I was wondering when microsoft will likely make the product keys available for this update will take place.

  • Where can I find a "product key" for Microsoft Office Word 2007.

    When I try to open Microsoft Office Word 2007, which is installed on my computer, I get this pop up asking for my product key. I have no knowledge of a product key and I don't know where it can be located. Anyone has an idea about this 'product key '.

    Thank you

    Hello, the product key is normally printed in the retail packaging or is sent in the confirmation email in case you made a digital purchase. However there is a support forum for the mozilla firefox browser. If you continue to have problems to get the desktop software to work, please contact support Microsoft instead since it is their product.

  • How to find the original windows product key?

    I think I need something that is not really possible, but I give it a go anyway. Some time ago, I bought a new ultrabook with preinstalled windows U840W 7. I got this sticker on the back of my laptop with product key but who are off to a long time ago. The problem I have now is that I've recently updated to windows 10 and shortly after my HARD drive has failed. I replaced my HARD drive and reinstalled windows but product key to my victory 10 showed before is not valid as an activation key. I contacted Microsoft to see what my options are and they advised me that if I can provide key to windows 7, I had at the beginning, they can solve this problem for me. Are there opportunities that I can get it somehow? Any help would be much appreciated.

    I think I'm after something impossible, but I give it a go anyway. Some time ago I bought a brand new u840w ultrabook.
    It came preinstalled with windows 7 and there was a sticker with the product key to this topic. Unfortunately this vignette came out a long time ago without notice me so I did take a picture of him. I've recently updated to windows 10. The problem I have is that my HARD drive is dead. I knew that it was about to happen, so I took a photo of product key windows 10 showed. Unfortunately once I replaced my HARD drive and did a clean install of windows 10 I can't use this product key to activate my windows. I contacted Microsoft and they advised me that if I can provide them with the product key, which was on this thumbnail when I bought my laptop, they can activate my copy. Are there opportunities that I can find the product key? Otherwise it would cost me $199 and I certainly don't want to pay for this... Any help would be much appreciated.

    I have tried to do the regedit, but can't seam to find it anywhere

    When you buy new notebook and get with preinstalled OS, you will get a valid version that includes a valid product key.
    With other words original version you got with your machine is properly enabled. Product key belongs to this original version only and you cannot use it for activation if you want to install the version of the OS.

    Your version of Win8 to pick up the product key of Microsoft.

    Of course, you have the original version of the new OS but you must order by Toshiba - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

    Dear Toshiba support,

    My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

    Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi marcinziel
    You are lucky to have a product key sticker (COA).
    Some people have had success with the digitization of the AOC and using software to improve the image.
    This year I bought a R50 Pro of the Satellite with Windows 7 pro and I can't find a sticker (COA) about it.
    Toshiba help you with your product key problem?
    I'm still waiting for a response from Toshiba.
