Why used my key work for 8.1 windows media creation tool

I have a valid key of Windows 8 Pro.  I downloaded the media help authoring tool
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

When it prompts me for the key, before it allows me to do something else, I get the following error:
This product key failed.  Check it and try again.

It is a valid key that I bought and you want to use.  I have the email receipt and confirmation.  My order number is WD06988653.

Why is it not work?  I need to reimage my computer and Microsoft is always ridiculously hard things to do.

There is a special step necessary if you use a product key of Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows Installer Clean which is explained in the link in step 4.

    Hello
    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    Unfortunately, you cannot use the keys provided for Windows 8 for Windows 7. In any case, directly upgrade your installation from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The keys are specific to the Windows versions, editions and architectures. They cannot be used between.

  • Will reinstall Vista 32 - bit key work for Vista 64 bit?

    I have a Dell XPS running pre-installed Vista Home Premium 32-bit, and I want to do a clean reinstall of the operating system.  Unfortunately, I lost my DVD of resettlement.  A friend has Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Dell, and I was wondering if it would work if I reformat the partition to the OS on the hard drive and install 64 - bit instead?  Also, I reinstalled 32 bit before on a previous machine and it didn't ask me the product key after the relocation.  I will ask you to enter the product key if I have installed the 64-bit, and if so, the 32-bit key will work?

    Hello

    Yes, you can use a key of Vista 32-bit to a 64-bit Vista reinstall. The only thing to note is that the edition of the operating system should be same (what is Home Premium) in this case.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Captivate 9 - text entry area - cannot navigate through the input of text boxes on the same slide using enter key (works only tab)

    I designed a slide that has 3 areas of text entry.

    I need the user to be able to type in their response to the first box and then press the ENTER key, it will pass them in the next text box. After typing in their response to the second box, press ENTER, and then have developed pass to the third area.

    I don't want to use tab, I want to go to work as a shortcut key, so this works well on all devices. It feels like a trip to the logic of the user.

    I removed the button SUBMIT and check the validate user input.

    I put the shortcut key to ENTER in propriety / Actions area

    However, after that type in an answer and pressing on enter, the focus is not moved in the input text box available at the following address on the same blade.

    This happens regardless of browser (tested Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE9/10) and also OS - Windows 7, Mac OSX 10.9, 10.10 and latest version of iOS

    Only the tab key works (Ive even tried with other keyboard shortcuts and it always comes back to TAB).

    I know that this feature is possible in Captivate 9. I have read and watched many tutorials online, it seems a very basic feature. I could be wrong.

    This is a feature of wholesale/known or I'm doing something wrong.

    If a bug, is there a plan to fix it soon?

    Indeed, your problem is related to the Enter key as a shortcut key, not to have multiple TEB and one absolutely validation button. Take a look at this article very old (you are not the first to ask about this):

    A submit button for multiple text entry boxes? -Captivate Blog

    But here I explained to indicate to the user click in a next TEB, do not use input.

  • How to remove a background image, why it does not work for me

    Hi all

    This is the first time for me to post in this forum. I hope you can help me!

    I want to remove solid white background from an image and I followed different procedures, but none works for me.

    The last procedure that I follow is the following http://www.WikiHow.com/remove-background-with-Photoshop-elements -A simple background removal.

    I followed each step carefully, but once I open the jpeg file saved, the image is always displayed with its solid white background.

    The source file is a jpeg file.

    The destination file is also a jpeg file.

    My version of Adobe Photoshop is CS6 13.0 on Windows XP SP3.

    What I'm doing wrong here?

    Kind regards

    Giulio

    If you want to save the file as a file with transparent background, you need to save it as a gif or png image image.  Cannot save JPEG files with a transparent background.

    If you go to save for web, will give you the option to save it in a GIF or png and you can set the transparency

  • Why Windows seems to work very well, but Windows Media Center not?

    Hello

    Today, I was with my Home Theater PC (HTPC) to record TV. Everything worked well. I wanted to watch a YouTube video when I was recording was completed. When I went on YouTube, there was no audio data.

    I use a HDMI from the HTPC to connect to my Pioneer VSX-50. While watching the TV show, the VSX-50 would show he was getting audio to 5.1 channels as it should. When I go on YouTube, all the sound elements would not pass, no audio signal is sent to the VSX-50.

    So I had a slight problem when it seems that Windows and Windows Media Center try to run the sound completely different from each other. And I went to my "manage Audio Devices" set up so that Windows would go the 5.1 audio channels (I think that until then he was established as stereo?). Once I did, I was able to get a YouTube sound very well. Then I went back to Windows Media Center. Media Center at the start, that's fine, but when I try to watch live TV or any recording, sound glitches (she repeats a second 1 loop repeatedly while video continues to play as if it's good), then he falls all together. After the sound glitch, my VSX-50 shows no audio signal is sent to the receiver, and I can't he come back! It really frustrates me!

    Any ideas?

  • Using shortcut keys open menu bars in windows?

    Hey guys,.

    I had a problem recently with Photoshop on Windows, and it has destroyed my workflow these days.

    Whenever I try to use a keyboard shortcut (for example, V to use the move tool), photoshop will believe that I try to open the view menu at the top. clicking away and pressing V again just reopen the menu display, and I'll end up having to manually select the tool. This happens randomly for a large number of different tools.

    Why does this happen? How can I permanently turn it off?

    All advice is appreciated!

    Hi Gwidz,

    Could you please click Edit and then click keyboard shortcuts.

    In the Menus and keyboard shortcuts, please take a look at the screenshot and see if the shortcuts are assigned a default value.

    Kind regards

  • Why java does not work in internet 10 windows explorer 8?

    Java does not work on my computer. It's the new computer with windows 8 and internet explore 10. I downloaded Java and using Explorer to desktop.

    But whenever I go online and website requires Java I get same error message "ClassNotFoundExeption". Same error I get if I go to the Java Web site and press the button Test Java. I tried different things that have been proposed on Java.com and Microsoft.com but nothing has worked. I have newest Java and had no problem in downloading. I appreciate any suggestions.

    Thank you

    The initial problem was never solved?  I still can't get Java to work and I tried everything above except set up a new user account that has no meaning.  Using Windows 8 to 64-bit, Java 32 bits and I have installed and uninstalled several times on the desktop.  The site I can access works fine on my Windows 7 laptop and I have the same settings in Java on two laptops.

  • Key export and Re - installing Windows Media Center Edition

    My hp zd7269cl laptop comes with Windows Media Center Edition version 2002. Now these discs are long gone but I bought oem recovery disks but he said media center 2005. Will I have trouble validating my code the product key (on the bottom of my laptop) after a clean install on new hard drive, because they are records of 2005. Also the driver disks don't work with what is installed on my computer.

    The key and the disc should work, but you may need to activate by phone. Regarding the drivers I check the web site of the support of the factory (for your make and model) and download in a folder or a flash drive and use them and not what the disk you have. Note: Install the driver chipset first, then the remiaing drivers, save the graphics driver for the end.

    This may have conflicting settings, then I would say allows you to check for room sound/alerts options in the Messenger and check to see if those who are arrested.
