valid product key Vista no for activation
Off my laptop while it updates installed, I turned on and typed my password and was presented with a window telling me that the "windows vista product key I typed is invalid for activation. However, I never typed in a product key.
(I had a problem with my computer over Christmas where I had to get my computer sent in as there was a problem with the sound card.)
He gave me three options:
1 continue with a reduced function of windows programs (do not do this)
Type 2 in the different product key (tent twice with the computers product portable key but did not work)
3 contact Dell (letting know!)
I hope someone will help me with this problem. All comments will be greatly appreciated.

Windows Vista says that my product key is invalid for activation.
I bought a dell Inspiron on 2007. He died this year and I bought a used machine, using the memory of the dead dell printer. I installed Vista on my disk and now recieveda message on my screen saying my code is invalid for activation! It's probably my drive. What they are up to?
original title: not valid?Dell you provided with what we call an OEM of Windows version. OEM versions are related to the computer first it is installed on and can not be moved / installed on another computer.
You need to buy a 'Full' version retail of windows (if the computer that you want to use never had an earlier version of Windows AND valid a certificate of authenticity).
You can use an 'Upgrade' of Windows Vista (or Windows 7) retail version if Windows XP or Vista has been installed and you have always a product key and the COA.

I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?
I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died. I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk. I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive? Acer sells not more the disc for this model.
Hello
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
As Acer does not have them, you have 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:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.
You can not download Vista.
In this case, you may be able to buy Acer recovery disks, if you have not created some when you first the computer.
If you can borrow a Vista DVD (a copy retail, not supplied by manufacturer), you can reinstall since using your product key.

My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer. Now, I have a problem with a product key. When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement. I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key. My question is this. If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key. If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key? Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop? Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price? Thank you
You cannot transfer a license from another computer to another computer, especially if the license came with this machine. You will need to purchase a new license.
Yes, you can purchase a license of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium and use it.
Where can I still get Windows 7?
Full version - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Product key Vista says its invalid
After reinstalling vista on my computer, it shows the product key is not valid. I tried to run the program slui.exe 4 but it is not on my machine?
Can you please provide a valid product key.
"Alan261" wrote in message News: f51e892e-254-4fae-aec4-126452f2e6ae...I just picture disc that came with my dell, so it doesn't have the product key for vista. I entered the product key on the computer.
Note that this is an update of XP because I have lost these discs
In this case, that's the problem - the key based on the computer is for XP, not Vista (check the COA sticker) you should have received another key for the Vista disk and do this key.

I always ran Microsoft Genuine product and would like to know how to reach a genine advantage accreditation with my present prediciment. Any help would be appreciated and we thank you in advance.
Hi KevinDitner,I'm afraid, but you can't do that. Your product key Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) should be used only for the laptop which came with it.You can get the CD of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) by contacting the Support team customer Microsoft.More information on: -

Valid product key will work not (Windows 8 PRO)
I'm trying to add windows Media center to my windows laptop 8. When I enter my valid product key, the answer is "this key will not work. Check it out and try again, or try a different key. "Microsoft wants to buy premium to £75 books support when windows 8 cost me £45 new and I have a valid product key." According to them, he spent the 90 day warranty. I don't remember to see a 90 day warranty notice any where or any time during my product Windows 8 opening and the installation. 90 days guaranteed are seen on the property of second hand and services as far as I know. Can anyone help please?
Media center is the only thing that you can add at this time. There are has no other windows features available for win 8 pro. Use the store to find applications.
