• Why my product key is invalid?

  I recently bought 4 computers I'll put in place on a network. They were bought with XP Professional SP2 already running.

  I got hurt so I ran a program to reset the SIDS network. It asked me to close my software, rebooted and then took me to the activation screen. After, I entered the product key that is located on a sticker on the back of the machine and now windows tells me the product key is invalid. Microsoft technical support gave me a new product key to try, but it came with the same problem.

  Computers are Olivetti Explor@300XS touchscreen terminals.

  I'd appreciate any help that would allow me to use them.

• Windows is asking to specify a product key, but then says it is not valid for this addition of windows.

  Three months ago my computer was so full of errors, I had to delete it.  I used all the discs I have, but for some reason my Windows went from Vista to 7.  I know I couldn't have updated online, because I had no internet access after that my computer has been cleared.  So he had to be the software I already had.  Microsoft now requires my product key.  I blew it off the power for a while, thinking it was just a fluke, but now it seems rather insistent.  I don't know what to do. I can't find anything online that corresponds to this particular problem.  My product key is taken directly from my box and I don't know what else to use.  Help?

  The windows key is specific to the version of installed win. So if you installed from a win7 disc you need the key published with this disc of win7

  So either you have installed a trial version of win7 from cd or you got the disc from someone else - and no key has been provided

  If your PC came with pre-installed Vista key on the label fixed on the computer is the key to Vista and cannot be used with Vista or PC recovery to the disks

  If you qualify for the free Win7 upgrade when you bought a Vista PC disk would be a win7 update disc and you would have been provided with the Win7 key

• Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

  (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

  How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

  I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

  Hi Christian,

  I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

  As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

  I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

  See the link below for the number of support:

• How can I get my product key when it is not on my computer and my computer was wiped.

  My question is how can I get my product key when it is nowhere on my computer and my computer has been completely cleaned.

  Moved from the community involvement Center

  Original title: completely annihilated computer.

  Hello

  That's what you're looking for if XP came preinstalled:

  The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

  If it is lost and you have wiped the hard drive, your only option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  See you soon.

• Product key message invalid there a sense?

  A failure of the motherboard, I bought a refurbished with Windows XP installed system. It came with a CD of Windows XP for PC reconditioned.  My plan was to replace the old disk system (XP) with the reader in the renovated system.  I started the system with its original drive because I wanted to know just what device driver updated, I would need.  I finished installing XP but has not activated the operating system.

  After stopping and switching of the readers, when I tried to start with my old drive in the system, I get the message about activation. The activation attempt failed.  With a little research I learned that the OEM of XP version on my old drive was not transferable to another system. Always eager to keep my settings, software and data, I tried to use the XP CD provided with the renewed system to "fix" / "upgrade"the operating system on the old drive.» I thought that I will be prompted for the product key and it could use that matched with the refurbished COA label, as the CD package has loaded. I was invited for the key, but when I used the renewed COA key I received a message "invalid product key".

  This make sense or is something else wrong?

  Oh - sorry, I was under the impression that you got the operating system

  You can get in Mode safe mode with command prompt?

  If so, try this...

  At the command prompt, type this command exactly (space, caps and comma are required):

  Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

  Turn it back on.

  If you did it, your activation grace period will have been reset, giving you more time to work on the problem.
