Using the license of my broken on my office laptop Win 7 OEM

I have a Sony Vaio broken running Win 7 starter which is installed with the laptop. The license number is printer on a sticker at the bottom.

Can I use this to activate Win 7 starter on my desk?

My goal is to assemble a new office in a few months. If the answer to my first question is in the affirmative, can I later TRANSFER the license on the new office?

No, you can't, its attached to this computer.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    Windows XP License Activation

    I have a copy of Windows XP on my PC where I tried registering online, he says that's not authentic. I bought a copy of Win7 with downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro. How to use the license acquired from Win 7 cd to be used on my WinXP? I could not afford a complete reinstallation because several drivers needed to work on my pc do not work with Win7.

    Thank you!

    Hello Emerson_1

    Microsoft does not sell Windows 7 with a downgrade to Windows XP and a valid key. You will need to provide your own key. This option is only available with OEM Windows 7 Professional systems. If you wish to continue using XP you will need 2 keys as indicated by JW.
    Windows 7 offers XP mode and you can use it if you have chosen.

    You have two activations and no more. If you need to register a third party, you will need to purchase another package. Yes, the installers can be copied to any media that you consider appropriate.

  • Install CS5.5 and use the license for CS6.0?

    Hello

    I have a license for CS6.0, can I install CS5.5 and use the license for CS6.0?

    I don't want to install CS6.0 because all users have CS5.5

    If it s not possible, what is the alternative?

    RobbaN

    @Robban, just to make things clear, for CS6 serial key will not work with the installation of CS5.5, because both are two different applications. So, as Mylenium says, you won't be able to buy CS5.5 now as its not available for sale more.

  • I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

    Thank you

    Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

    If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

    I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

    Thank you much for the help...

    Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the follow-up.

    Your plan sounds good. Please update us on your progress as your time permits.

    Adobe allows active use of the same purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. And then you are supposed to use one at a time. As a general rule, you will get a message about it, if you try for a serial number 3rd bought with the same computer already activated on 2 of your computers. If you ever have a situation where you have the activated purchased serial number trapped on a computer has crashed, then Chat online from Adobe is the only one to help you.
