• Windows 8 Pro product key does not work

  I get this error message: "this product key has not worked. Please check it and try again"

  
  
  Just bought the Windows 8 Pro in Windows 7 home premium upgrade.  Fresh installed from a USB...

  Got mine sorted... I called customer service... you guys can check it out here for your countries respective http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers

  So yes... to explain the situation, they will provide you with this diagnostic package... click on the package, reset your comp... and you should be able to activate your shiny new operating system... they were quick to fix my problem... Bravo to them... hope it helps = D

  Method for those who don't want phone customer service:
  Your key is a unique key for update... meaning that it will not allow a new installation... unless you do the workaround of Windows 7 registry.

  You must open a run dialog box and type: "Regedit".

  Then I located this key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE /.

  And find one called "MediaBootInstall.

  Double-click that and change a 1 to 0.

  Then open cmd as administrator

  Type the command "slmgr /rearm.

  You will get a restart of your computer messge.

  Restart

  Then when you restart your computer, you open a dialog box run again and type "slui.exe 3" and it will allow you to enter your product key and activate :)

• Windows XP Pro product key

  I got a laptop for my father and I try to reformat & get going for him. I got an operating system disk Windows XP Pro to the place of the local computer. I am trying to install & using the product key on the bottom of the laptop tells me that the CD key is not valid. The Lady instead of the computer told me that the product key on the bottom of the laptop is what I needed. As I walked she told me that they reformat for $80. So if the product key at the bottom of my laptop does not work, how they will reformat? Something smells like fish on this subject. My question is how can I get a valid product key code?

  This is a question for the people who sold you the XP disc.  Microsoft sells more than XP, and as much as I know they will probably not help with activation.  You might have a chance with the manufacturer of the laptop; they might be able to give (sell) you the installation media that work with the product key on the computer.

• Blocked for Windows 8 Pro product key

  So, I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro on Ebay a little more than a month.  I was able to install AND activate Windows 8 Pro with success at the time (1 month ago).  It was a clean install on a new hard drive.

  However, I decided recently (a week) to upgrade a bunch of material (card video, monitors, power supply and also temporarily hard drive)... and in doing so, I did a fresh reinstall of Windows 8 (on a HDD test,) then hard disk that I had installed Windows 8 on a previous month.  Both of these fresh relocations a week ago, I was unable to activate Windows 8.  My product code is blocked.

  Am I blocked because of my hardware changes?  Or am I blocked because I bought a bad Windows 8 (e.g. maybe I bought a MSDN code)?  Here is the result of Licensingdiag.exe.

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Hello

  Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

  .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

  So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

  Hi yogesh,

  This problem could be due to the fact that the product key provided does not match the press which is used to install Windows. The product key that is provided can be a file without assistance, in a. EI. CFG file, in the PID.txt file or in the BIOS firmware. Windows OEM 8 machines ship with the product key in the firmware, and if this product key does not match the press, then you will see the above error message.

  You are able to start after receiving the error message on the screen?

  I suggest you to change the product key to the correct for the media you are trying to install. If the system has a product key in the motherboard (o. a. 3.0 [Activation OEM] provides an OEM product key in the firmware), you use an Unattend file, file (EI.cfg) edition Configuration or the product ID file (PID.txt).

  You can check the link:

  «Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 installation may fail with the error message: the product key entered does not match any of the images available for installation Windows.» "Enter a different product key"

  You bought a copy of Windows 7 for each computer?

  You can install a Windows 7 purchase on several computers if you have the Family Pack. When you have the 'Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack' for 3 computers, it is a retail copy and you can install Windows 7 on three computers at once. He'll say 'Family Pack' on it.

  When you have the regular commercial version, it can be moved to another computer, but it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

  If you have a legal copy for each computer, try to activate again. If activation fails, see the Microsoft Diagnostics real link below.

  Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

• "The product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.

  Greetings!

  Create a custom DVD of Windows 7 with pre installed office 2010, applications, drivers, updates and custom in GPEdit settings.

  Used Windows 7 DVD, downloaded from the Internet and installed all the software and then sysprep for oobe.
  Captured by using ImageX, install.wim custom size is almost 6.7 GB.

  Replaced the custom with the original install.wim file and the error message:
  "The product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.
  This error message appears after pressing the button "install now".

  On that note, I removed file ei.cfg of Windows 7 ISO, now I get that says - could not locate the image

  Any suggestions would be acceptable.

  It is an equivalent using a product key from a version (say OEM) on a different version (e.g. retail). If you can get a download from the MSDN site, then you can also get a matching key for her.
