I need to disable a copy of Dreamweaver CS5 so that I can activate it on another computer. The first computer crashed, so the program is more about it. How do I disable?
I was finally able to get on a chat session with an Adobe employee and the problem has been resolved. She told me to "Skip This Step" then screen here and it worked (when I had tried that before, it did not work, but that was before the deactivation was made for the computer on which crashed). I hope that this will not cause any kind of problem ID and password in the future, but for now, the program is back up and functioning normally.

I want to install Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?
You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.
If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1. Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?
Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?
No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.
For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

hard drive crashed reloaded windows 7 Edition home premium and now the automatic activation Center said I failed to meet the requirements to activate my copy of windows.

Have you tried to restart by phone?
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-usPlease note that the family pack is an upgrade.
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.

I need to activate my windows 7 Home premium and when I look at the bottom of my computer product key essentially disappeared... What can I do to get my product key?
Option 1: You will need to invest in a new license.
Option 2: If your computer comes with a recovery partition, use to reinstall Windows 7, it will exempt the need to have a product key.
Option 3. Ask a recovery disk set from the manufacturer of your computer and use it to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to have a product key too.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
------------------------------------
This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

I have a laptop originally supplied with an edition of Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Because of a software problem, I had to upgrade the operating system.
I bought a DVD of Windows 8 upgrade and did the upgrade. The switch went a lot, only now, I have been informed that the specifications of the software is compatible on a 8 professional edition window.
Since I did the install of Windows 8, I can't return/refund this upgrade disc. But I still need to go to a Windows 8 PRO.
Can I buy an ANOTHER (only now going to an ordinary Windows 8) upgrade and upgrade to Windows 8 PRO? Microsoft will allow me to do? My laptop is now considered a Windows 8 operating system or not?
Or I have to "reset" my laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium and proceed with the purchase of any upgrade to Windows 8 PRO?
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Why the specifications of the software is only compatible with Windows 8 Pro?
Windows 8 is similar to Windows 7 Home Premium. Both are editions of consumer.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade [starter to home premium]
original title: Windows UpdateI am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade
No, it will not work.
Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?
If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.
Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

My Toshiba create multimedia tool repair does not work. I have an I7 of Satellite A505 and it came with home premium and I did the anytime upgrade to Win 7 Pro, I want to try to download an .iso in Windows 7 Pro and do a fresh install.
I have the upgrade button. I wonder if I should first download Home premium, it came with and then download the pro, I have two keys, I don't drive and Dosen t Toshiba tool work. T have to find the way. any help will be appreciated
So if I understand correctly, I charge Home premium, then simply use the upgrade key and it will unlock win Pro, or I have to download pro then install it on Home Premium and use the key?
YES! As Andre also noted. You must activate Home Premium with his first touch, then simply use the key to upgrade Express to go Pro. Pro is already part of Home Premium and the key to upgrade Express just unlocks.
Also, thank you for your help!

I have a Home Premium and want to upgrade to Ultimate. I am from India, not Anytime Upgrade available. So? is it cheaper to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate or go to windows 8 is no more information in the microsoft Web site? Is there a upgrade option?
If Yes, which is cheaper. I have an offer to win 8 Pro only 699 INR. Win 8 Pro is equivalent to Win7 Ultimate? What are the prices for the upgrade from home premium to ultimate victory?Windows 7 Anytime Upgrades are no longer available.
Windows 8 Pro is the ultimate value.
The only features that you won't find in Windows 8 Pro are Direct, AppLocker and BitLocker Drive encryption access, some of these functions are dependent on Windows Server 2008 R2 or a later version.

I recently did a clean install with the disc that came with my Dell XPS6400 (bought in the auction) local computer, which had only "Vista 32bits" written on it and no product key. I thought I could use the key on the sticker on the underside of the computer OEM license, even if the 2 characters in the 3rd section were partially missing - they had to be one of the other four. When OEM license was initially considered valid, I realized that I had not yet downloaded a service pack, but after that, he was still to come as being invalid! Then, I found that the version of Vista that was on the disc was "Home Premium" and the OEM for "Home Basic" license key Do I have to reinstall the whole system, drivers, etc., in order to establish the upgrade? (Please say "NO", there is an easier way to do this! Here's the MGADiag. -I hope it helps. :-}

Reinstall the correct Systyem, Windows Home Edition basic operation to use this product key.
And Microsoft sells more than Vista.
To reinstall Vista Home Basic read this information.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought, not that one 32-bit, vista, your computer must be on the hard drive to reinstall recovery Partition Vista to how you bought your computer, which may or may not work after the installation of the wrong edition.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

If the operating system is running - use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key. www.Belarc.com
If the OS is always installed, but inaccessible, you can still be able to recover, depending on what is causing the problem - come back with details.
If you have reformatted, about maybe possible get the key - but unlikely.
If the HD is dead, or you have crushed the old installation, then you are out of luck.
