Updated at any time key is no longer valid

A few years back I bought a Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade key for my netbook, it worked fine, but I recently had to reinstall Windows.

I've reactivated Windows Starter, but when I try to enter the key to upgrade Express, he fails to activate and told me that the upgrade key is not valid. I got the key carefully several times but he is unable to accept, ideas?

Make sure that you are not connected to the Internet and perform the upgrade Express offline:

    I uninstalled first 10 elements (downloaded from Adobe 1 year) due to constant accidents.  After going through 'hell' with Adobe, they gave me the link to download the original version of the trial.  Once downloaded, it will not be ACCEP the key by saying: it is no longer valid.  Any suggestions?

    I am against the idea of 12 items as a way out.  I paid for 10 items and want it to run again.

    You posted your question of items in the forum of Revel, so I propose the Forum of items for you.

  • Laptop computer replaced warranty, OEM key is no longer valid

    So after that my Macbook Pro (which of course doesn't come with windows) has been replaced under warranty the OEM version of windows 7 that I had installed on it has been lost and now that I have reinstalled windows on the new computer laptop to replace my OEM version is no longer valid, is anyway around this without just buying a new copy?

  • W7 Upgrade activation key is no longer valid after the second boot disk failures.

    My computer, purchased in 2009, had Vista pre-installed (no disk). AprΦs dΘmarrage player shows errors last year I bought an update to W7 (this time as a virtual drive). The upgrade went without problems. Now, a year later, my boot drive has yet again, this time a complete crash. I had to replace the drive and install W7 from scratch - and now I get the error message that the activation key is valid for an upgrade, not for a new installation.

    I tried to restore from an Image backup, but it turned out that the image was also corrupted. I have nothing more than the 'User', no file system folder. The old boot drive is totally inaccessible (blue screen just at the moment where I try to reconnect it), the first disc of starting (with Vista on it) is gone (and there were gaps, in any case).

    I understand why this (activation key invalid) happens, but I also believe I am justified in using this version of W7 and should get it activated. Someone has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Ron,

    Our weather looks cool in comparison

    It seems that your system is up-to-date.  I don't see anything else that you need to do and as sounds loading in the expected quantity of the present time, it seems that all is well

    As I said, you can remove the entry from the startup recovery Management Console, but if it is not causing problems (or bore you too), it may be a useful option to keep installed.  If you decide to remove it, you can easily install it again if necessary.

    Let me know if you have other questions about the present.

    Best regards
