Way to discover the product activation key?

Hi, recently the laptop was dropped and the hard drive is bad and no longer works, I ordered the hot spare but it will windows install on it. The label on the back of the laptop is partially missing.

From what I see he uses Windows Home Premium and I can make out 18 digits of the product code. So I think I am out of 7 digits. Is there a way I can work around this problem or get a replacement key? The hard disk is not readable, and I can't access the machine again.

Option 1:

If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

Option 2:

If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

Option 3:

If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • Is there a way to check the product key on Windows 7

    Ladies and gentlemen

    Tablet of my wife is pre-installed with Win 7 and twice in recent years I needed to reinstall. The tablet with Windows 7 pre-installed and included the disc. I now find I need reintall again as complaints about the machine being slow emanate from the kitchen. While I wrote down the product key for the program that I find now that I have is to not store this piece of paper very solidly and can no longer find it. This raises a few questions. One option is to download the ISO file and install. I did, but it asks for the key of product, which was not really surprising. I have a desktop computer, but is there a way to get the product key without doing a full installation of Windows 7 on the desktop? I'm a bit lazy and do not want to save the office first, if it is not necessary.

    Thanks for your advice.

    I bought a copy of windows 7 ultimate Windows.com/genuine after having received a notice that my copy of windows was not authentic. I bought the new activation key for almost $300 and they also sent me an installation CD where I never had to perform a reinstallation. Well my hard drive crashed and I had to purchase and install a new one, which meant the reinstallation of windows. However, I found that in some way I lost my activation code and the cover of the CD that Microsoft sent me contained not one. I called Microsoft support several times to get the reprinted to me activation key. I spent many hours being transferred from one Department to the other until they began to transfer me to the same departments several times. I have my order number, address that was sent to the, date of purchase and all. They can see my order but they can't access information on this topic for a reason, and they issue me a new code. At this point, I'm really upset because I spent a lot of money on this software only to be told that I can't use it. In addition to all this Microsoft has absolutely no way to file a complaint. I am at a loss to know what to do. The only option that Microsoft gives me is to buy a new code, but there is no way I'm paying twice for the same product, I just assumed never to use a Microsoft product to new to be dressed like that. If someone has experienced something similar, I would be grateful for help on how to get this sorted out. Thank you!

    Have a laptop with windows 7 from Dell. Need to re install W7. And I have some numbers are taken as a result of its use.
    How can I get a new code activation or my complete activation code?

    Dell provided you with restore/recovery media and/or a way to restore the machine 'default' as a key sequence?  If so - you won't need the number--unless they just sent a DVD of Windows 7 nu - and they are usually not unless you ask.

    They have probably installed using their key, which means that even with a utility like Belarc Advisor or ProduKey - you will not get the product key that matches the one on the sticker.

    Some may have you take several different digital pictures of the sticker from different angles and see if you can decipher the missing characters like that (you'd be surprised to see how that works).

  • Best way to discover the top N

    Hi all

    Sorry to ask a question on Friday. I've had this issue for some time now, what is the best way to discover the first N?

    For example, how do you know top 10 Web hosts that have the highest use of CPU for a certain period of time.

    One way to do is to create a WCF application that returns topN HostCPUs order to use/period/average. When the interval is small, like the last hour, it works, but if I increase the time range from 1 day, the request will expire after 60 seconds. We have 500 + guests on this FMS. Not only we want to watch the hot servers right now, but also want to watch the hot servers say yesterday, or last month.

    Another way is to use groovy code below, when I use retrieveLatestValue to get the current value, it's fast, but if I replace it with retrieveAggregate and make the time range for the previous 24 hours, it takes a few minutes to run.

    #! HostCPUs # .getTopologyObjects (extinguish) {a, b->

    go = server. DataService.retrieveLatestValue (a 'use'). value?. AVG

    If (goes == null)

    go = 0

    VB = server. DataService.retrieveLatestValue (b, 'use'). value?. AVG

    If (vb is nothing)

    VB = 0

    VA - vb > 0? 0: 1

    } .subList (0, 10)

    Then, of course, these are not very effective. Is there a better way to get this top N list I'm looking for?

    Thank you

    Recently, my hard drive crashed and could be damaged, because I can not install anything on this subject.

    I still have the CD of Windows XP Professional that has been used to upgrade to Windows 7.
    So, if I buy a new hard drive and install XP first and then upgrade to windows 7. I'll be able to
    to do this without side windows activation problems.
    Or do I have to buy a new drive for windows?
    PS: Is it important that it is the version of Windows 7 professional student discount?
    Thank you.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • How to change the product version key already activated windows 8

    Hi friends,

    I've lost my windows 8 recovery of single language media.   I downloaded an ISO torrent and installed on my laptop.   Now I found that it is already activated.  I want to change the product key and activate with my original license key.  I have strength to find any option that 'change product key' etc., how should I do this?  Suggestions are very much appreciated.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: slui.exe 3

    Press enter

    Enter your product key, and then click next to activate via the Internet.

    If you encounter problems using phone activation.

    As shown right, you really shouldn't use torrents downloads because they could contain malicious code that can steal your information.

    In addition, you must use really support recovery of your computer manufacturer.

    Recovery of your computer (Windows) using "Recovery Partition" of the Manufacture or
    contact PC manufacturing (see support links below) and order the recovery media.

    Note: Activation is not required when you use the recovery partition or recovery media, but you will need to reinstall all your applications.

    Also to save your documents on external support (if possible) before starting the recovery process.

    Once completed, your PC will be actually in the State when you first purchased it and turned on for the 1st time.

    To access the recovery Partition, start your computer, and then by pressing the appropriate function key. It can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12, DEL or tab key. Check the list below or your user manual for your brand and model.

    If your hard drive has failed, do not have a recovery partition or the recovery partition is not accessible,
    Then, you must contact the manufacturer support team and ask for a "recovery disc" which allows to reinstall Windows 7.

  • Error in product activation key Windows 8 0xC0000022 / 0xC004F012 & more...

    Hello everyone.

    I've been running Windows 8 for almost a year now.  Authentic, active, copy no problem whatsoever.  So after some personal problems with security, last week, I did a factory re install my Windows 8 X 64 system with high hopes.

    All I get is the Windows Activation arise regularly, but when I try to activate Windows, error 0XC0000022 code appears. (PARAGRAPH 1).
    Tried to activate by phone, but I do not have Installation ID slui 4 being listening off too.

    Ran 'SLUI 3', product code entered, only to get "could not verify that key, then try another. (SS 2)

    Even tried as mentioned, SLUI 4, enter "Denmark" and new 0XC0000022 (SS-3), then a window with no installation ID

    So, after a lot of research and searching the Internet for a solution possible, I got to try some solutions without success.

    I tried to launch a recommended cmd

    sfc/scannow

    and this is what I have... online or not

    So I tried the next best thing I knew 'The MGADiag tool' only to be again disappointed by this screen

    and that's where he suddenly became chaotic, cause now, I got a new error then look up.

    Apparently, this problem occurs when some files in the update of Windows are missing, even if the update is downloaded and extracted successfully.

    "" So I quickly discovered a fix recommending'Troubleshooting Windows Update tool "fix Microsoft ' and tried, with a real outcome, for the first time since a started with that, a week ago. It looks like this

    Here I am through, Yes! Finally and I keept going on with the recommended steps, which mentioned a 'Refresh your PC without your files' so I did, only to be disappointed again 2 hours later... by (SS1) error 0xC0000022

    Without all the other tracks, so I started poking around in my control panel, just to be surprised by that too... What, my Windows is active, but not active? huh

    When it clearly States in 'view details of activation' ' NOT AVAILABLE ' a click later

    and yet once, click later on this page, I was tempted to look at the details "activation" that lead me to this screenshot for you guys

    Error code:

    0xC004F012

    The software Licensing Service reported that the call failed because the value of the entry key was not found.

    Now, this is where I get really confused, because now we have 3 error codes listed... and am honestly lose trust in all these solutions, but cela a seams to be the problem... It turns out that this error pops up when something is wrong with your 'Software Protection service' in Services.msc. So I checked out and Yes really enough...

    Software protection service does not work! explains that I come back with all the other services are in effect, including the activation of Windows associated with those. So start it leaves are we going?

    Access is denied? Hmm what a surprise. Pretty much identical to the previous error 0xC0000022. Which means normally is wrong with my permissions as access should not be denied... So I went to the next logical place... Properties to verify permissions and Yes, really everything is grey like this

    AHA I got through and I found myself quickly sppsvc.exe file in my Windows dic. and changed all the permissions for FULL CONTROL. Only to return to the exact same small screens.

    Now, here, I'm a week later, with a lot of knowledge, but no real results... really confused and embarrassed... So, I really hope that someone out there is smart enough to offer an adequate solution for this.

    PLEASE DON ' T BOTHER IF YOUR JUST SOME MOD WITH A USELESS FANCY COPY PASTE TO THE SHOW... I NEED HELP, NOT A FANCY FILLERS.

    OK, I don't usually answer and try to help, but as I spent so much time researching this issue after experiencing the same issue here, it will:

    This solution worked for me on Windows 7, it has not been tested on Windows 8, but it worked for me after I have tried all the same steps that the poster original, nothing helps.

    The problem is the Software Protection service, and is unable to start as you found it from the beginning.

    Step 1. Open an administrative command prompt.

    Step 2. Copy and paste the following command into your command prompt, and press to enter. This properly resets the permissions on the service:

    ICACLS % windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform/Grant, "BUILTIN\Administrators: (OI) (CI) (F)" "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM: (OI) (CI) (F)" ' NT Service\sppsvc: (OI) (CI)(R,W,D) "," NETWORK SERVICE: (OI) (CI) (F)»»»

    Step 3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to %windir%\System32

    Step 4. Make sure you can see hidden and system files and folders.

    Step 5. Delete all the files/folders with the following name (you can move them to a folder to archive instead of delete them if you want to be sure):

    7B296FB0-376B-497e-B012-9C450E1B7327-5P-0.C7483456-A289-439d-8115-601632D005A0

    Step 6. In your Windows Explorer window, navigate to:

    %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\

    Step 7. Tokens.dat and rename it tokens.bak

    Step 8. Try to start the Software Protection service. It should start successfully today. If he does then restart the computer and try to activate Windows again.

    Thanks to Craig Garland and Santosh Bennett for their positions on the Technet site on the Software Protection service which lead me to this response.

  • How to get the lost activation key

    my computer is installed with windows original 8. When I tried to upgrade to windows pro it asks activation key. but I have the original product key, but I lost my activation key. How can I get my activation code.

    Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:

    If Windows 8 came preininstalled on your computer:

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.
