• Installed new HARD drive and activation key has expired

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop and my HARD drive just died. I bought a new one and I used a program called Ez Gig to clone my old HDD to my new HARD drive, before it died completely. Now, I get a message "this is not a genuine copy of Windows. He sends me to a Web Macintoshëoperating site and it runs a check and then tells me that my activation key has expired, and the Microsoft Web site wants me to buy another copy! Why is he doing this and how to fix it? Thank you

  Michael

  Your Windows license is related to your hardware. Since you just cloned the BONE but has changed the hardware, the Windows Activation does not recognize your new system. Thus, the solution would be just to reactivate your Windows.

  The phone activation does not just work. You will need to re-enter your product key.

  Click Start, right-click on computer , and select Properties.

  On the Windows Activation section, click on change product key and enter your key.

  If you are using a retail version of Windows, then the key must be with the disk when you buy it.

  If Windows is preinstalled on the laptop, the key lies in a sticker at the bottom of your laptop.

• Reinstalling windows - activation key has expired?

  We bought a desktop dell computer about 1 1/2 to 2 years with pre-installed windows 7 Home premium. He broke, but some parts were always good. We bought a new Acer with preinstalled Windows 8 office which I didn't like. Also, the hard drive of the Dell printer was bigger. The intention was to simply pass on the disks, so Acer would have a bigger disk and Windows 7. It wouldn't boot correctly, so we reinstalled Windows 7 by using a disk image, downloaded from Microsoft and product key that was stuck on the Dell. Finally, we sold the Dell a guy on Craigslist. We had signed up everything except the motherboard, processor and power supply. As we took off the Windows 7 product key sticker. Acer has worked well and never mentioned anything on Windows is not genuine not. He remained off the coast for a few weeks. I turned today and it installs the updates on start up. The login screen normally shows and I connect. The desktop appears in black with 3 lines of text in the corner:

  Windows 7

  Build 7601

  This copy of Windows is not genuine

  There is a window in the middle of the screen that says

  Activate Windows now

  The activation period has expired

  It gives two options:

  Activate now

  Ask me later

  At this stage there is no start bar or the desktop icons as if windows Explorer has not yet begun.

  About 2 to 3 minutes later the paper in his arrives and the start bar and the desktop icons appear. The window "Activate Windows now" disappears also.

  Another window appears which says:

  Update optional delivery does not work

  You may be victim of software counterfeiting.

  I tried not to get my key or whatever it is in fear that it could be a virus.

  What is going on? There may be remnants of the key somewhere on the case of dell outside the sticker? What should I do?

  Reason for the notification: 0xC004F009 (grace period expired).

• Windows 7 does not have the activation key - has WORKED in THE PAST

  A year or two ago, I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows 7. I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade online. The activation key worked exactly as it is supposed to. A few months back, I had a hard drive crash. I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Vista then install Windows 7. Once more, everything works great. Key agreed without any problem. Then about a week and a half, I did an upgrade to my computer. New motherboard, CPU and power supply. I installed Vista on another hard disk, loaded the drivers of the new motherboard and CPU, then installed Windows 7. The activation key has been accepted (the same I use all along) and had no problems until tonight. I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, start and I get a window saying that my version of Windows is not registered and enter the activation key. This time IT would BE NPOT ACCEPT THE KEY what is CAME WITH MY INSTALLER DISK. 3 TIMES. What gives? # ! ? The dey was good a week ago and now it isn't? What has changed while I was out of town and my computer was closed. This looks like a problem with Microsovt and Windows 7. How to get Windows 7 activated as if it was 4 days ago?

• Vista reinstall Activation period has expired

  I have a Gateway with Vista laptop (factory installed).  Once a virus corrupt my OS Vista, a generic copy of Vista has been used for clean installation to see if data files could be saved.   The key provided with the original operating system wouldn't work, nor the generic disk key.  Activation period has now expired and when booting I get only three options.  Reduced functionality, enter the new key or contact Ms.  I have no start bar.  Is that what I can do to solve this problem.  I've had no luck trying to get someone on the phone to talk to.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Hello AScottMcC

  If the data is important, you might be better off holding the camera to a repair facility to recover the data. The easiest way would be likely to take the laptop hard drive, connect it to another PC and copy the data on the 'other' PC hard drive.

  This done, you could do a clean install of Vista and then copy the files from the 'other' PC back to your laptop. You will need to take ownership of the files to open.

  Another valuable option, depedning how files are (you can lose them anyway) is to do an inplace upgrade... See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/repair_a_vista_installation_using_the_upgrade_option_of_the_vista_dvd.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
