Vista Home Premium product key is not accepted after the repair, in which the computer was stripped of the same Windows software
When my ET1161-07 came back from repair, it was so empty of software that even my "copy of Windows is not genuine", as it appears in the lower right. Due to this fact, I have no protection, either. I followed the instructions on the screen to type in the product key code that I found on the sticker on the casing of the machine (I had him bought at Costco, with preinstalled Vista Edition Home Premium, with no backup disk included), but the box would not accept even the next character to come at some point, to Midway. As a result, my window of Activation of Windows said I typed in the product key is not valid for activation, and I have to either buy a new online, or type a different product key or contact Dell to help solve this problem. Could you please help me with this? Fortunately, Istvan
Hello
First thing I would do is to take this computer to the place/person fixing it and demand that they fix it properly.
We don't know where they got the Vista disk/license since they were installed.
See you soon.

I changed to a new computer that has windows 7 on it and I used my upgrade to ultimate but it will not take the proudct key. I'm guessing that because he was on the old computer. How do I just get a new key or change from the old computer?
I think that I wrote the wrong computers had windows 7 Home premium top and I used my upgrade to ultimate on both. However the new said that this is not a valid product key for the upgrade. How can I just get a new key?
Original title: I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate, but it won't take my product key
If the new computer comes with Windows 7 Home Premium or another edition of Windows 7, just use the Windows 7 Ultimate product key and do an Express Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade from in the edition of Windows 7 you are now running on the computer.
If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and upgrade Express from Windows 7 to Windows 7 Ultimate edition. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

Moved from Vista programs Forum.
You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover. I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it. If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?
My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050. Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid. Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk. What can I do?
The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key. This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system. The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.
If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.
Please see this link:

Win Vista Home Basic product key is not valid
I bought Vista Home Basic a wile ago. Now I've updated it. I want to reformat my PC, so I insert the DVD of Vista, and when I enter my product key I get the message "the key is incorrect. How can I fix it, I need to remove the updates or something?
Hi cheater39,
If you reinstall Vista you will have to update any new. If the operating system works very well, so it is useless to re - install in order to re - install. Once, re - install if you have multiple problems that can easily be corrected, and then reinstall is a "last" resort option
You say you bought Vista Home Basic. I suppose, therefore, that you went into a store and bought a full retail copy? If so, the product key number is on the case. If you bought it from another source, for example, Internet, ebay etc (except direct from Microsoft) then you know that it's a genuine product key and not a copy hacked?
It is in fact a copy of 'upgrade '? If so you need to install your "old" operating system first, for example, Windows XP and upgrade then.
Check and recheck the code product key that you insert. If it continues to say the key is not valid, resume the DVD in the store that you bought it and ask them to check it for you. You can also contact the Microsoft Customer service in your own country - you should find one address number and/or e-mail on the Microsoft Web site.
You can actually install Vista without product key by simply letting the dialog box empty product key and then pressing the next button. A message will appear in which you must press the No button. A list of the versions of Vista should then appear. Select the version that you have, for example, Vista Home Basic, press Next, then it should install. No you get away without putting the product key in. Although Windows Vista has been installed it works for a while, but it would give you time, we hope, sort out the product key number. After that the time scheduled (30 days I think) you will need to enter the correct product key otherwise Vista will simply stop working. This option is not ideal, but it will give you as small period of "grace." If you cannot sort the product key on or, heaven forbid, you ended up buying a pirated copy, you will have no real alternative but to buy another legitimate copy.
I suggest you use my last suggestion as a "last resort" option Try to install on another machine to see if the product key works, or taking it back to the shop and ask them why it won't install.

Product key is not valid after the relocation because of the virus
My netbook has a virus and I need to reinstall my windows xp.unfortunately my sticker is no longer legible, so I can't access my product key. One of my reinstallation cd told me that my product key is not valid... What do I do... i tried to call the phone numbers given on the Web site, but no one answers me.
Help!
Hi el_gwapa,
If you use a relocation of the disc from the manufacturer of the computer, then you may need to contact the manufacturer and see if you can get a product key.
Also check the following links to get a new product key for Microsoft:

Product key is not valid after the re - install Windows 7.
Original title: assistance required with Activation.
Separated from this thread.
I have the same question by looking at the subject of this thread. I'll explain my problem. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L670, which has Windows 7 above. In order to run a specific program, it called for Windows 7 Professional, got the unlocked key this portion ran the program without problems so far.
Recently ran a upgrade to Windows 8 problem, someone else has started to use the major problems of the computer. Has decided to restore the computer to Windows 7. Entered product key codes, but the computer is showing the products are not authentic. I have the key for Windows 7 and Windows 7 Pro unlock codes, but it contains the code of the key is not genuine. Suggestions?
Here are my options in terms of original software for this software:
- He is currently a Windows 7, which came with the computer - tell me how to remove the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro
- I have an upgrade to Windows 7 Pro key - work not
- I have an unregistered Windows 8 upgrade that, I uninstalled it due to the update of loop that drove me crazy
Thanks in advance
Use your Tosh recovery disks, starting from them and reinstall win7 as pre-installed by Tosh.
