Win7 Activation after PC reinstall, but the OEM installation disc has no product key

My PC crashed a few weeks ago, so I reformatted and reinstalled using the Win7 Home Premium OEM DVD came with the PC when I bought it.  He tells me now that I need a product key to activate windows.  DVD installation Win7 & case has no product listed all over her key.

The local manufacturer of PC I bought the PC (and Windows) to closed (almost I think) so there is no one there, I can ask product key.

Any ideas how I can get my copy of active Windows?

Its OK, I found my product key on a sticker on the PC.  Sorry for the wasted post.

  • Difference on the installation disc and computer product key

    Hello

    Why is the product key on the different installation for Windows 7 Ultimate disc from that on my computer that verifies a genuine copy was installed?  In other words, the product key on the installation disc has a combination of letters and numbers.  However, the product key on my computer that verifies that you have a genuine copy of Windows 7 Ultimate installed has only numbers.

    Thank you in advance.

    The product ID is never really entered into the computer, what you have on the label is a 24-bit coded version which decodes the installation process to form the product ID.

    If you have already built a system by entering the 25 character key, you will see a small break after entering the key. This is the decoding of the key system and then check the type of product with the version of the software being installed.

    Also, be aware that if your system is a large manufacturer and shipped with Windows preinstalled, then the encrypted key can not match the label. If you use a utility such as magic jellybean keyfinder on a system, it can retrieve this key encrypted in the registry. This key is different from the label, because all systems supplied by the manufacturer with a particular version of Windows will have the same key. This avoids having them to enter a key on all of the PCs they do individually and do not have to be authenticated on the line.

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

    The problem is not a software but a licensing of one.

    Your existing OEM license cannot be transferred to a new machine--and it is difficult to do a upgrade to a non-genuine system (by design).

    You always have your machine 'physical Windows' available? He's still in the original configuration that you want to transfer?

    Apply you the full Ultimate who license and activate it, then repeat the virtualization

    The new virtual machine will still complain of activation status initially, but you will be able to reactivate in the virtual environment.

    You then have to take back the physical machine to the Home Premium of origin by a reinstall license using recovery madia or sale at retail or restore an image from before the upggrade.

    I had a long discussion with a Support Agent and finally solved my problem in activating my root user... after a lot of trial and error/attemtpts. Here is my summary just fyi, I hope this works for you also.

    I'm on MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.5.

    1. They had me first go to ~/Library/Applications support/Adobe/OOBE and delete the file 'opm.db '... Creative cloud question remained.
    2. Then they asked me to go to support/Adobe ~/Library/Applications and rename the files "AAMUpdater" and "OOBE"... and go to the library/application support/Adobe (note this is a different path) and remane the files "AAMupdater" and "AAMupadaterInventory"... question remained.
    3. They had me also go to my Netwrok Prefrences, Proxy server to configure, and enusre all boxes are unchecked and "use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" also unchecked... did not help, the question remained.
    4. Of course they had me uninstall and then reinstall the creative cloud application, which I did (Applications > utilities > Adobe installer and run the "uninstall Creative Cloud")... but the question remianed.
    5. Finally, they had me to visit this page on the Apple support page, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 and activated the user root for OS X Lion.
      1. After allowing the root user (and create a new password for it), I rebooted my Mac
      2. Saved in my Mac once as 'root' and connected to Adobe Creative Cloud using my usual Adobe user/email name and password.
      3. Go to the 'Applications' tab, and it worked perfectly!
      4. I disconnected the root on my Mac, then that reconnected me.
      5. Launched the creative application of Cloud, connected and went to 'Apps'... works great!
  • I want to reinstall Windows Vista, but I do not have a disk when I bought the laptop; I don't have product key, however; What should I do?

    My old laptop is now very slow performance, no doubt because it is hopelessly cluttered with unwanted stuff, viruses etc.. So I have tried various methods of cleaning without success, I decided to reformat (all data on it has been transferred to a new laptop) and start from scratch by reinstalling Windows Vista Home (installed when I bought it). But no installation disc has been delivered, although the product no key. is located on the underside of the laptop. What should I do? I could ring you, but I don't have a land line, and a long call on my cell phone would probably cost a fortune. It would be great if you were ringing me to talk me through the process (07760 101610)

    Greetings - Graham Durbin

    Hello

    Sorry, this is not Microsoft and we don't do phone calls that we are for the most part, Windows users help each other here...

    Here are the different ways that you can reinstall Vista.

    See which is more easy for you.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, 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:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  • Need to create a back-up of installer of windows 7 on my drive flash, but because the site does not accept my product key

    Original title: product key error Windows 7

    Hello!

    I need to clean my office completely. However, I had installed on this PC by a company, with that I can't connect, and the windows Web site does not accept my product key. I create a back-up of installer of windows 7 on my flash drive, but because the site will not accept my product key, I can't do it.

    Any help?

    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:

    How to: perform a customized Windows installation

  • HP Pavilion DV3 - 4031TX Windows 7 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit with the OEM installation?

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv3-4031TX that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OEM preloaded.

    I want to move to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

    I have run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and confirmed that my hardware is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.

    I don't mind doing a clean install.

    I have my product key OEM with me, but no disc (BONE came preloaded).

    Is it possible to switch to 64-bit by doing a system recovery?  If Yes, where can I change the installation options? (as clicking 'Custom' instead of 'Upgrade' in the retail version Installer)

    I'm not sure if the OEM installer comes with this option.  Can someone tell me? (screenshots will be appreciated)

    Another question, if the OEM Setup program does not come with 64 bit and I have to clean install the retail version, my OEM product key will work?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    No, this is going to work. You definitely need DVD setup and key in your work of peut of the machine. Hope this helps (burn to DVD and use it to install):
