Vista key in use/called/activated/work - now what?

Hello

I played with my system configuration and reformatted and reinstalled several times.  This last time when I tried to activate, I was presented with the key in the form of use.  I have studied these forums, found the command ' slui.exe 4 ', the number called, used automation successfully.  My copy seems to work as it should (with unusual errors - file copy, very long periods of frost, etc.).

I don't know what I should write the new "OEM" (wasn't an OEM installation) as presented in the form of information system?  Or my old key (found on the box) will work once more?  If I format it again I need to call this number?

Thank you

Dennis

The old key will work again if you need to format again and you will almost certainly need to use the manual process that you have used before (maybe not, but very likely).  It will work for as long as the computer works - there is no time limit.  The information contained in the information system OEM are essentially meaningless and don't help you to activate or prove ownership or really anything.  What you need to make sure you don "t lose is the product key, then you have serious problems because that's your proof.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Unable connect message is displayed for each Web site. IE works fine. I think the problem has something to do with the Firefox update I got this morning from notification. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and the problem persists. I tried the restart without Add-ons, still does not work. What's next?

    Hello, Barnetta, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox. If please delete all the rules of the program for firefox to your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m: I have already upgraded to Windows 10 not knowing my printer wouldn't work - now what?

    My printer no longer works. He said: it is not connected. It's a WiFi printer but I actually plugged in with a USB cable and it still won't print.

    I have seen rhe messages saying to wait at least 6 months after the release of Windows 10 for set to level, but as not, HP users were warned before the release of Windows 10, I already updated.

    My son was also a computer HP laptop that had problems with WiFi after upgrade, but a simple reg edit mentioned on your forum fixed that.

    Is this what can I do to use my printer before January? I think that it is an unreasonable amount of the time-out; especially that HP has never notified users to wait.

    HP must have published something of a fix because I downloaded an update this morning and voila - my printer now works as a printer wrieless!

  • Win 10 update destroyed my activation, hearing, now what?

    Installed Win 10, tried to run Audition 3.01, received activation invalid banner.  Tried to reactivate the product (works fine with prior Win 7 Home Premium), got the message "activation server not active."  Came to the web page of Adobe, signed, went to info products, Adobe says that I have no products.  So tried to save my hearing had produced message has already been registered.  No other help not available. Tried to contact support, can apparently make loop back to the same pages repeatedly and above and... you get the idea.

    Question: How can I fix my activation for Adobe Audition 3.01?

    I doubt that roll back to 7 would solve this, moreover, can not stay with forever 7, the writing is on the wall.

    However, searching this forum I found a link to a section of downloads.  It turns out that Adobe Audition and the beginning CS2 is located in / 3 editions with a bunch of other things.  At the same time, they turn off the activation server ('for technical reasons', in ICT no talk means, save money).  So nobody with the first versions of many things will never be able to re - enable or disable one of these versions.  The good news is that they provide also to download the content where you can uninstall your old version which now does not run and replace it with the downloaded version which is preactivated.

    At the time of my initial post I found and followed the link, downloaded the version 3, uninstalled my AU, installed the download, he pulled over and it works under Win10, apparently very well, I have all lift heavy objects, but just a test with poking around a few wavs, working with a session from before, to play other titles in the session etc.  Seems to work very well.

    I have a problem with Win10 with my hard drive is reported as covered 100% by the Task Manager (even if you can hear it not happening, player wise) and the system slows down to a crawl, but this isn't for lack of hearings, it is the fault of Win10.

    Yes, color me cautiously optimistic, and with the help of the person who posted the link to downloads, this problem is now resolved.

  • Vista product key in use. Code 0xC004C003

    I hope someone can advise as Microsoft have been pretty useless in my opinion.

    I have a foreign boy to stay with me at the moment. His English is not perfect, so he asked me to try to sort it out with all the phone calls etc.

    He has a Toshiba Vista home premium laptop. A few weeks back he sees at a computer store that he has had a problem & thought that it may have a virus & I understand that they reformat the drive.

    Everything was fine until last night when he got the screen message Windows needed to be activated, but when we tried to do it would not accept the key that came with his edition of Windows. It says product key is in use & gave a code 0xC004C003. Down in the corner, he said something along the lines of the copy of windows is not not authentic, but it doesn't have a legitimate key that came with the Windows installed when he bought the computer.

    I seem to have spent hours on the phone with Microsoft yesterday & this morning gave me a new key to try but that no longer works. Then I learned by a very steep call center worker (which again seems to be outsourced in India) that they are not technicians so I need either call Microsoft Technical support, which charge something like £50 or more when helping with technical problems or that the owner of the computer has to contact Toshiba.

    As all of its documentation of the computer is back in Saudi, where he bought the computer shortly before coming to the United Kingdom, I don't know how helpful to make meetings Tobishba themselves to aid would be.

    If someone could give advice I would be really grateful, even if it's to say that the only way to solve this problem is to contact Toshiba or help sky, Microsofts scammed technical assistance service.

    I spent almost all day trying to find a solution for him, phoning & searching the net etc think that perhaps the only thing for him to do is to go back to the store of the computer where the laptop has been reformatted, but it's miles away on the other side of London, & I'm not sure that this is the solution to his problem.

    Hello Sal

    You are right. Each Toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system and the clean image of Toshiba recovery facilities. This image should not be enabled.

    So all that needs to be done is OS install with the supplied media.

    Hello

    You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.

    This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.

    You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.

    Here is the information about HP.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

    If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

    If HP's Vista recovery disks, 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:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  • Changed my pre-shared-key, vpn doesn't work now

    Hello world

    I recently completed implementation of the remote access vpn on my asa 5510.  the software is v8.2.  It was working fine, I was able to connect, able to what whether internally on our network, rdp worked, ping etc.  I gave the FCP file to another person in our IT Department to test with me before we rolled it out to our users.  He then called me to ask the pre-shared key cause he wanted to implement on his ipad.  I then realized that I never made a note anywhere of that pre-shared-key, I used.

    So I changed it.  Deleted the one in the cli, made a new.  Changed the key on my vpn client and logged.  I can connect properly.  But, now I can't do ANYTHING in-house.  Ping does not work, rdp, nothing.  I can't even ping the client connected to the asa.  Is there anything else I need to do?  I have to redo everything because changing it broke encryption or something?

    Please help, thanks.

    Try to redo the configuration of the tunnel group only.
