  • How do I stop using the product key in my PC, so I can use it in my laptop?

    A long time ago I had installed Windows Vista (original) on my PC at home. But now I m leaving in another city and I m just using my laptop. I received a message through the Windows Activation (¨The product key you typed is already use¨) and two options: buy a new online or type a different product key. I Don t want to buy anything and I Don t have a different product key. So, how can I stop using the product key in my PC (which i Don t use it!), so I can type in my laptop? Maybe uninstall Windows in my PC could solve the problem, but I Don t want to travel back home 7 hours for this! What can I do now?

    Your English is very good.

    You simply need to activate Windows in the laptop by phone call at a command prompt, type slui 4.

    You * must * also to remove Windows from your desktop computer, but if it is to wait a few moments, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • The product key you entered has been blocked for use by Microsoft

    Last fall, I bought Windows 7 for my new computer. I bought it from Microsoft, so I knew it would be authentic. Last week my computer crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7 from the CD. When I type in my product key, he said, "the product key you entered has been blocked for using Microsoft." WHY?
    I don't know what other information you might need. But here's what I can tell you. I have the 32-bit software. I don't know what else you need. It's frustrating to seriously. I don't want spend more money to buy another product key. This would make me happy.
