Why do I need to activate an existing license?

Why I've suddenly tell me that my license is invalid and needs to be enabled because the hardware in my computer has changed? It didn't, and I paid for a full license, when I bought the pc. There has been no mention of this before and now he tells me that if I don't activate it online in 3 days, I am no longer able to use Windows. It's for real?

Sometimes a Windows Update can trigger activation. Just activate by phone as follows:

  • Why do I need to import existing photos?

    All my devices are in the same Apple ID, sync all of them via iCloud photo library.

    Backups are via iTunes to OS X.

    I 4920 pictures altogether.

    Now I see on the Photos of OSX I need to import new photos that are already in my iPhone.

    Why do I need to import existing photos?

    If you use iCloud photo library to keep your photo library in sync, do not import the photos again in the iPhone using a USB connection.

    I suspect, you have set the settings > Photos & camera on your iPhone for iCloud photo library to 'optimize storage '.

    This means that your original photos, full resolution are in iCloud and not on your iPhone at all.  Only if you browse your photos or change them to share, your iPhone will download new copies of the originals to iCloud for editing. Photos on your Mac does not recognize them as duplicates, because this local copies have different file names. You could import duplicates.

    Skip the Import Panel in Photos when your iPhone is connected. Don't import anything, unless you have some new photos on the iPhone, that could still download in iCloud photo Library, because the iPhone couldn't go online.

    Try again by phone:

    I need to activate a reinstall of XP Home Edition.  I understand that I must use the software to know what phone number I'm calling.  But I just can't at this point.  I am told to activate the product.  If I get a yes answer, I get an office with nothing on it.  If I don't answer, I get a welcome screen with my account admin smiling at me logo.  It seems that no other option.  I need a phone number or a way to get out of my slump.  David Blacklock

  • When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated.

    Windows XP Activation loop.

    When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated. All I can do is, click 'OK' and he takes me into a log on screen with my name on it and goes through the same process, as described at the beginning of this statement. I'm in a loop. The only way out is to wipe my hard drive and reload windows new who, within 30 days, it will do no doubt once again. How to do this?
    For 3 years I rebooted my computer. That's why I reloaded it in the first place. I sent this version of Windows XP by Microsoft and have recharged the system at least 4 times in the past 10 or 11 years.

  • I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

    activate windows 7?

    I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

    XP has been activated years ago? now, they say both need equipment to enable the garbage.

    There is nothing wrong with your report that I can see - so you should not receive not authentic or notice of activation.

    The notification came at one time and then disappear later?

    If Yes, then it is probably due to a "race condition", where two programs or more are fighting for the possession of a file--in this case, it prevents the system WGA, checking the status of the operating system, resulting in the notification. A plus later re - test then clears the air.

    The addition of SH Devolo may have been the straw that broke the back - is the amount of RAM on the system? XP SP2 requires at least 512 MB for a reasonable speed, so if your system has less, I'd say you are trying to upgrade if possible.

  • I moved my hard drive to another computer and once connected to windows told me that I need to activate windows?

    Once logged into windows, it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click Yes to activate and it tells me that windows is already activated, click OK and it returns me to my log in page over and over. Why? and what to do about it?

    Because you are allowed to install and activate Windows on ONE computer and product activation has now determined that you try to use the installation on another computer.  If it is a retail version of Windows XP and if you move the installation to new hardware call Microsoft and explain the problem.  If it is an OEM version, like a Dell or HP installation and if you move it to another computer that you are to the top of the Creek with this, you are not allowed to move an installation OEM on another computer, it is linked to the computer on which it was sold with and he will die with this computer.

  • Why do I need a product key update

    Why do I need a product key update. Is this Microsofts ensure everyone makes use of the free upgrade to windows 10 of which I don't really care to do?

    The free update to Windows 10 is only for computers that are running only a genuine activated Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 installation.

    If this isn't the case, you will need to purchase a full license if the app get Windows 10 determines that your installation is not authentic.

    If you believe that have a license of Windows 7 genuine, then you could try to reactivate before the upgrade:

  • Need to activate windows 7

    HI, recently my computer is slow. So I did a complete clean install of windows 7. Now, I get a message saying that I need to activate windows 7. But when I do, it goes on to say that I have to pay for a new key, but I already paid for it. So why should I? It has been used on this computer, I have the box and the key and cd to prove it is OEM. What can I thank you.

    If your product key is not valid, you have another choice - Factory Restore, assuming that the factory restore partition is still there.  Tell us the make and model of your computer and we can then tell you how to access the factory restore.

    Factory restore does not require a product key or the Windows installation disc.

  • Activate on existing VCA

    Hi guys

    I got a new server and I need to install and add to my existing cluster, the processor being different: 51xx and 53xx I discovered that I need to activate CVS by reading documentation said EVC

    +If I up the EVC mode, virtual machines will be able to access the new features available in this mode?

    Is that you turn off and then turn on the virtual machines. A

    restarting the guest operating system is not enough. A virtual

    machine determines what features are available to turn on, and

    Cannot access all of the new features that are added until it is turned off. +

    OK, got it

    but I found this on the web

    http://www.virtualizationteam.com/virtualization-VMware/VMware-VI3-virtualization-VMware/how-to-enable-VMware-eVC-on-VMware-vSphere-VI3-without-downtime.html

    which basically says to create a cluster of TEMP and move virtual machines to cluster is empty my questions is

    It really worked?

    in this case, if it really works that I use my idea

    Create a new Cluster I activate CVS and I just disconnect - delete - and add my old host vsphere to the new Cluster (active VCA) and finally add my new hosts 53xx?

    or any other idea to avoid having my production environment down?

    Thank you very much

    Difficulty understanding what you mean, but if your point is that you need no downtime, ehre you will:

    (1) create new cluster fetid with EVC

    (2) put the OLD cluster 1 host (host A) in maint. mode (all VMs vmotion, remember who they are)

    (3) move A host to new cluster

    (4) Vmotion VMs that were on the host a return on host A (Yes it is possible through clusters)

    (5) repeat 2 through 4 for each host in the old cluster.

    Why do I need to have an account to use Ffx for Android mobile? I've never used an account for any browser Firefox.

    Seems I can't even ask the question without having to open an account!
    Catch 22 defined.

    You do not need an account of Firefox to use Firefox, simply there if you want to use the synchronization service to synchronize bookmarks and other data between your desktop Firefox installation and your mobile installation. (I don't personally use Sync, not since the installation of office has a lot of old baggage that bogged down my mobile.)
