Vista reinstall resulted in the confusion of activation key

My computer crashed and I reinstalled windows vista (with help).  Now he asks me the product key, and when I try to use one on the bottom of my labtop says that this does not work because this key is already in use.

What can I do?

    The MAK has exceeded the activation limit. By design, MAKs have a limited number of activations.

    Workaround

    Contact the product activation call center to obtain a new MAK or to increase the limit on the existing MAK activation.

    You use a Windows 7 volume license distribution that uses a MAK product key activation.

    You can try also reactivate by calling Microsoft Volume License Activation Center:

    2. get a MAK or KMS key by phone by the
    Worldwide activation call centers.

    If an organization exceeds the MAK activation limit, then its TI
    Professional can contact the activation call center to request
    other activations.

  • Windows 7 OEM on Acer laptop re-installed, now have the problem of activation key.

    Hi, I'm new here.

    I bought an Acer laptop last time that built in Windows 7 Home premium installed in it.

    recently, I have been having a driver conflict that caused the blue screen and I cannot load windows more than little time after. a guy tried to fix with another version of windows, and the result is that I lost the files of recovery which is supposed to be in the drive.

    I use a Windows 7 trial now and it does not accept my previous license... How to solve this?

    Should I get a specific Windows 7 home download?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Why does say my Vista 32 bit activation key is already used?

    I upgraded from Windows XP 32 bit for Vista 32 bit. have the CD and activation code to go with it; It was my mother.  Why say that the code is already in use; It has not been used for months?  This confuses me.  Any idea would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    Hello

    as long as your mother never use vista as part of any current upgrade license to windows 7, it will be OK

    Follow this advice to phone someone real to talk and explain

    the previous activation your mother made with vista is still in effect

    good luck with it

    I have the sticker on laptop with symbols

    Product key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

    [Personal information]

    My request is: how to install Windows 7?

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    I really need help here...!
    A few days after I did a clean reinstalof my genuine win 7 64-bit Professional (because I had problems that caused the need to completely format my PC), I received a warning of an error (something like "you have exceeded the limit of activation key")...
    It's strange because it s only my second time to reinstall and it really is a real key, and I did 'everything by the book'...!
    My win 7 will have problems in the near future...?
    How can I solve it...?
    I don't want really waste of money in the purchase of a new, and quite frankly it s not just...!

  • How to get the Microsoft Office product key?

    I bought a satellite A660 with MS Office Home/Student 60 trial already installed and I need to activate the trial by entering the product key. Where is the key?

    I checked the documents provided with the laptop and it is not there (just a quick start sheet and a manual, no keys to the office here info). The Win7 key for the operating system is on the machine, but nothing on the key office is on the phone. Nothing on the box of the laptop was shipped in two.

    Said quickstart info I should launch a desktop application (or the launch of the trial icon) and 'follow the instructions and download the activation key online. If I try that I am asked to enter the product key before I can do anything else. The help for this window is not really offer clues.

    I searched my specific laptop here support/downloads, but can't find the key to the office. How can I get my activation key to test office decision-making?

    Thank you

    Howard

    You are right. You have the trial version, and you can use it for free just 60 days. To do this you must pick up activation key when you are online.

    If you want to use as the full version, you need to BUY the license and activation key valid.
    You didn t get the Office free of charge.
