• Cannot activate Windows, the product key already in use

  Original title: product key already in use.

  Recently, my computer crashed (power).  Try to avoid problems with my hard drive, I bought the same computer exactly on the line.  I installed my old hard drive on the newest computer and all is well... Except, when trying to activate my Windows Vista Ultimate OS I get the error message "The key of product already in use" Microsoft site confirms that the product key is authentic, but still will not let me activate.  All solutions?

  Your old computer had a "Retail" or "OEM" of Windows installed version?

  OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be activated on another motherboard. The only exception is the 'mother' is exactly the same make / model / part number as the original motherboard.

  Commercial versions can be moved from one computer to another without problem except that the the phone activation may be required.

  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:

• torrenting a new copy of vista for use with a correct product key

  I would be able to use the Acer OEM product key 32-bit home premium?

  I hesitate because I want to reinstall in order to eradicate viruses and other nasty stuff on the hard drive.

  I don't think that it counts as piracy, since I already have a copy of Vista installed, I just want something to reinstall with. What other options can I without spending money to repair the windows installation without any CD on a laptop Acer Aspire 55702Z?]

  I know, multiple threads on the same thing is a bad idea, but I don't know whether or not this belongs in this thread:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/VistaInstall/thread/e00d1081-ae90-4755-B6AA-5ab62dbbf19c

  The version of Windows Vista that is available for download seems to be pirated.  In all cases, you can not activate it with your computer OEM product key.  As this web page says you need to purchase a license and get a genuine product key.

  Contact Acer and ask a legal installation for your computer model DVD.

• Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7?

  Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?

  Your license is the product key.

  You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  Windows 7 uses own unique product key, Windows XP product key can activate Windows XP.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC?

  Windows 10 automatically reactivates in the coming days.

  Things you should know:

  • A Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key cannot Activate Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own unique product key.
    
  • By default, the versions of Windows 10 are previously entered, which means, you don't have to enter a product key and should not be invited to enter one as long as you upgraded a activated License of Windows 7 or Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10 Preview build.
     
  • If you perform a clean installation on the first attempt, you will have to start from an activated installation of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
    
  • If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on Do this later and give it a few days, 10 Windows will be activated automatically.
    
  • Activation servers may be overwhelmed at the time due to the volume of updates, so give it some time if you get an error of the type ()0XC004E003, 0x8007000D, 0x8007232b or 0x8007007B) 10 Windows will activate eventually as long as you upgrade by using the appropriate method.
    
  • It does not need to know your product key Windows 10, read "Understanding Product Activation in Windows 10:

  Figure 10 Windows Product Activation:

  In previous versions of Windows, when you have installed a version upgrade of Windows, if you want to reinstall the upgrade version, you had first reinstall permissible version where you upgraded, reactivate, then upgrade again and reactivate again.

  With Windows 10, this is no longer the case. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 and enable, you can simply create a bootable copy on DVD or USB and reinstall all Windows 10 without having to reinstall the release candidate and it automatically reactivates.

  If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

  You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

  They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

  Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.
