• Where is the product key?

  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.

  Hello

  A question any longer, with material that could be to help others.

  My HP Pavilion (2013) brand new 23-b010ez a pre-installed MS Windows 8 version 6.2.9200.

  Comments on this page to the effect of "the old fashioned useless, full of 25-digit product key" are not correct.

  That means installed "Windows Help and Support" of my computer for example on the product key?

  I quote:

  "It's a 25 numbers used to activate Windows.

  -"the product key must be in the box that came with the Windows DVD come in French - or.

  -"[product key] should be in an e-mail that shows that you have purchased Windows."

  "It's a good idea to save a copy of your product key for your records in case you need to reinstall Windows."

  I had no system of Windows (recovery) DVD on purchase. It came pre-installed.

  I had no email with a product code. I got a confirmation of my Windows account, I was forced to sign in the first starting up my computer and a confirmation email of authorization with a verification for my Microsoft Account code.

  But no code produced by email (they wouldn't email defeats in any case - security).

  And I agree keep an external copy of the product key. Apparently (according to the "Windows Help and Support information" provided on my new computer I HAVE the product code for reinstalling Windows.)

  I found also asks me to tap into it, if I try to buy windows to another computer, or to add functionality to my edition of Windows from here: configuration\systeme and security\activation center\windows of activation using these built-in control functions. In both places, I wonder to enter the complete 25 digit product code. No other solution. Can't tell him to go find the BIOS, on the contrary!

  So far, what I've found and where?

  I tried to find the product key, without success. In "Windows Activation" to control configuration\systeme and center\windows security\activation, I found the last 5 digits (or are they the first?) and my activation date. In "System information" control configuration\systeme and security\system, less listed under the title 'Activation of Windows', I find my windows is activated and a "product ID 20 code numbers. What is the rest of the key complete product which is now part of BIOS, as shown above? It would be good to know.

  Why do I need to enter the product key?

  Well because reinstallin Windows, adding additional features (regardless of who it) and buy another copy Windows to another machine.
  So, where is the product key - or come by it?
  I don't have confidence now and seen the galley do to get under pressure once I have to do a reinstall of Windows on my new computer.
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.
  Like you said windows 8 has been preinstalled on your computer. We would like to tell you that the product key will not need to be included as it uses the product by the manufacturer key which is encrypted in BIOS.

  How to find the product key?
  

  1. open the original OEM software package; the product key will be printed on a sticker located somewhere on the case. Some software have the sticker on the back; others will have it inside the case.

  2. review the case of your computer for an OEM product label; This is common for computers produced by major retailers operating under Windows.

  3. open the manual supplied with the software; OEM key are printed on the inside cover, or inside the back cover first. Sometimes the key will be printed on a loose sheet back in the manual.

  4. communicate with the computer retailer that provided the software; retailers often keep records of keys to product belonging to their customers, in the case where the keys are lost.

  Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you.

• Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?

  I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?

  To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate.  If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case.  It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read).  If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download).  You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation.  It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.

  I hope this helps.  If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?

  Good luck!

  You do not have * one * key product. You probably have a product key for each of several different products. For example, if you are running Windows 7, you certainly have a Windows 7 product key. If you have Microsoft Office installed, you have an Office product key. And if Norton uses a product key, then you have a Norton product key. And many other programs use product keys too. A unique product key cannot be used for several products.

  So when you say "I need to know where to find my product key number. I can't use some programs without it"which makes no sense. Each of the programs that you can not use has its own product key, so please tell us what programs you have the subject and where you got the programs. Each program should have with his own product key in the package he came.

  And a remaining issue: If you ask about a product key for programs that are part of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) and Office supplied with your computer, and you have no product key so that it is almost certainly what you have only a trial version of Office. Your trial period has expired and if you want to continue using it, you must now buy the product and get a key for this.

• Where is the product key for InDesign CS5 on Mac Osx?

  Hello Adobe community.

  So this is the context:

  Our Mac to Headquarters only fails to boot into OSx, I took it to the Genius bar to solve problems and they said to wipe the hard drive and re install OSx which is fine except that I need the product key InDesign CS5 out of it. We have not written anywhere product key or the original software/box with the fact that he came and also, I don't know what InDesign email address is logged because it has installed many years before I was hired. But I am able to access the hard drive on a Mac and see all the files to boot from an OSx on my USB key. So my question is: does anyone know the file or where I can find the product key on the hard disk?

  I hope that someone has faced a similar problem and has a magical answer!

  Thanks in advance!

  You can not find. The key is used when applications are installed. Activation will write a code nvisible. If you want to use any Adobe software on another computer, you must install it from the original installer (download or installer).

  But you should be able to see the Adobe ID that was used during execution of the program.

  If you have saved this important information and if you are not able to rebuild it, you're out of luck, you will have to buy it again.

  Hello

  have you looked in the box whose laptop has been made? There should be CDs, warranty sheets and OneNote product key!

  If you don't end it, the best way is to ask your dealer about the key becaue I don't know exactly what things are packed in a box of L10!

• I just bought a G6 Pavilion with windows 8, where is the product key for windows?

  As above, there is a stricker saying Windows 8 64 and that's it.

  I need the product key, as to prefer a clean install and need complete recoverability in the event of a HARD disk failure.

  When I buy a laptop with a BONE, I expect to have the operating system, not 'rent' it until something bad happens.

  Thank you.

  Yes, the recovery discs can be used to start the computer and reinstall it on hdd original or new - without needing a license key.

• My system came with Windows 8 pre insalled. Where is my product key of Windows 8?

  You bought your laptop Windows 8 and have noticed that it is no longer a certificate of authenticiy, located on the laptop with the product key.  Some users prefer to have the product key for their recordings or other future use, they may have for her.

  The product key is embedded in the BIOS on the motherboard and is encrypted so that users will not be able to read it.  However, Windows 8 should be enabled, which means that the product key is located in the Windows registry.

  There are utilities that can retrieve the product key listed in this thread on the Microsoft forums.  The first two, Belarc and Magical Jelly Bean, work in Windows 8.  As far as I know, the product key that is returned is the correct product key.

  Tools and developers are not affiliated with HP and are not supported by HP.

  I hope this information is useful for those who want to know the product key.

• I have an ACER Travelmate p273 loaded with Windows 7 Pro. Where is the product key?

  In the last month, I received an alert from MS that I have an unofficial version of the operating system. Order to veriy that's an authorized version, they ask for a product key. Can not find on the computer or on any of the disks provided with this package. Any suggestions?

  For anyone else having this problem: eventually had to call Microsoft to help customer service. The product key, I had been locked by Ms. representative provided a new product key that allowed me to work with MS Windows 7 pro. So far everything seems to work ok.

  If it wasn't for the financial software I use and which is not supported under Linux I completely divorce me MS and run only the Linux OS. For the moment, I use Ubuntu 16.04.
