• Why my product key is invalid after I had my computer for 3 years?

  OK, I have had my computer for 3 years. I bought my new TI, but they said that I had the opportunity to make windows XP (as they said it was windows vista). If at that time, I changed it to windows XP (it was a real disc / legal). In any case, the problem now... I accidentally hit my computer and I stop three times dramatically by pressing right on the power supply. I think that this caused a huge problem, because when I turned it back on, I got a screen that asked my product key. It was already written in the box (it was the correct product key) However, it sucked! I then called on the phone and they said that my ID code was not valid/there was a problem. And now my computer says I need to activate windows, but I can't! Y at - it another option for me?

  * I also installed a new graphics card in my computer, but it was about 3 weeks ago and I have not had any problems with him.

  The key used here is NOT a given by MS - it's an OEM_SLP key, which can be activated by the presence of the markers suitable BIOS SLIC table.

  You must enter the correct key that comes with the XP disk - using the product key update tool.

• How can I activate Microsoft Research why with product key?

  then installed by using the file that is sent from microsoft store, but when I try to print too a why it print on the picture that this is a trial

  Version.  I'm never fast too set in a product key during installation.

  Hi lakeetaWashington,

  I found these steps:

  When you buy why, you receive a product key why that allows you to register your copy of why. In order to register your copy of why:

  a. start why 2008 and select the Options button in the right part of the application:

  b. Select the recording tab in the dialog box that appears.

  c. Select the register... button. He calls the Save dialog box where you can enter your product key.

  d. Enter your 25-character product key in the input white product key box. You can type in, or copy - paste the copy of your product key in another window, and then paste in the first part of the input box.

  e. Select OK to save your product key.

  Once your copy of why is recorded, the time of the trial and the watermark are disabled.

• 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.

• OEM product key is invalid for activation.

  My Dell Inspiron 1545 is dead. I installed the original ultimate OEM vista on a HP desktop pc. During activation. Now key OEM product not invalid for activation. The original OEM product key is on a single computer only. What I would do.

  Purchase a new license for Windows, or reinstall the original OS on the HP.

• Windows Vista says that my product key is invalid for activation.

  I bought a dell Inspiron on 2007. He died this year and I bought a used machine, using the memory of the dead dell printer. I installed Vista on my disk and now recieveda message on my screen saying my code is invalid for activation! It's probably my drive. What they are up to?

  original title: not valid?

  Dell you provided with what we call an OEM of Windows version. OEM versions are related to the computer first it is installed on and can not be moved / installed on another computer.

  You need to buy a 'Full' version retail of windows (if the computer that you want to use never had an earlier version of Windows AND valid a certificate of authenticity).

  You can use an 'Upgrade' of Windows Vista (or Windows 7) retail version if Windows XP or Vista has been installed and you have always a product key and the COA.

• Why my product key not valid with an installation from another CD as the original?

  I had to reload a fresh install of Win XP on a Toshiba laptop. Given that the previous owner had lost the CD; I took one I had at home a try to install it on my laptop with laptop computer product key stuck under the laptop. but when I try to install said that it is a key of product not valid. This is false because before to format the laptop, it had windows XP installed with this product key and it worked fine. I sort of... ending up with the fact that the installation needs a corresponding product key... Am I wrong? If Yes, what can I do if I want to use my laptop product key and I don't have the Original CD of Installation?

  Thank you!

  You have installed using the installation XP bad disc. XP installation disks are related to the version of the operating system and the type of installation for each particular product key. You need to install either with the recovery media OEM Toshiba (best solution, solved by ordering the recovery disc from Toshiba for a little money - usually less than $30) OR a generic OEM installation disk for the version for installed XP (Home/Pro/Media Center).  If you use a generic OEM installation disc, then you will enter the product key for the thumbnail of the laptop. If you use a generic OEM install disc, then you should go to the Web from Toshiba site and download/install all the drivers and utilities for this laptop model. There is always a ton of them.

  To contact Toshiba support, buy recovery disks, do an install clean/restore factory with these discs. You won't need to enter a product key if you use the restore disks.

  You can have 2 DVD (s) one for 32-bit and one for 64 bit version, but the product key is good for installation «One» Once you have installed and activated the 32-bit version, that the key cannot be used to activate a different installation of Windows.  A key = a single computer.

  If you want to use the 64-bit version and to give up using the 32-bit version, you can uninstall Windows 32-bit computer, install the 64-bit and then activate by phone.

  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".

• Invalid product key message

  I don't understand why the product key is not valid it is printed on the ticker on the side of the cpu.  When I bought the computer Club of Sam, I was told it was already installed and that I had nothing to do.
  Whenever we try to download a PDF file, that he will ask for the product key, then say I type is not valid and I will order to microsoft and look for the product key, but it comes back with an answer to a problem of connection of diagnosis. Help!

  The key product for Microsoft Office Suite are you referring?
  The sound in this way in particular wrote you:
  I was told it was already installed and that I had nothing to do

  Many computers come "pre-installed" with Microsoft Office programs. But they are the ' demo '. Good for x number of days. After that, the programs are not good more.
  If you wish to continue using the same programs, you can buy the full version.

  The sticker on the side of the computer is the product key for your operating system, not for Microsoft Office. This is why you received a response "invalid."

  Here is the list of Suites Office Microsoft available as well as the price (click on a selection and you will see the price).
  http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/suites/

  There is an alternative. OpenOffice is a free software that works more or less like Microsoft Office and they are compatible.
