Windows 7 Activation real problem

I recently bought a copy of Windows 7 via an online retailer and installed perfectly on my machine for some time. All of a sudden, he gets up as is not authentic. What should I do at this point, because I paid for it? The retailer, contacted, just tells me that the product key must be legitimate, and there is nothing they can do there, other than to sell me a new copy.

Partial product key: YQKDR
License status: Notification
Reason for the notification: 0xC004F009 (grace period expired).
 
Try the following:
 

Click Start, right click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click on the link 'change product key '.

Enter the product key located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. Click next to activate via the Internet.

  • Windows 7 Activation final problem

    I built my computer about 4 + years ago and installed Windows 7 Ultimate and worked fine until recently.  One of the disks on the raid disk doesn't have that I replaced.  Since, I've been making a problem of Windows Activation, I assumed that the product ID is somehow linked to the serial number of the hard drive and that is why he does not.

    Any help would be good.

    Thank you

  • Real problems of Yosemite VMWare Windows 7

    We have two iMacs this morning began to have problems with Windows 7 and VMWare Yosemite.  When Windows 7 would not longer work, we were in Yosemite and VMWare 6 (something).  So we have updated for VMWare 7 then Windows 7 wanted to open with their routine to repair Windows, being that we had, had to kill Microsoft using the VMWare Shut Down menu drop-down force quit Windows, because Windows 7 was frozen.  When the computer reboots, Microsoft Windows 7 is out looking for a solution and ran and ran, never find.  Another thing that we have noticed that to get a visual feedback as get a progress bar to move or wheel current rotation to move, you have to keep your mouse moving, it seems.  It is like the software of sleep or times out if the mouse does not move, or at least Visual does, but the software will finally get to where it is supposed to go if left alone for a long period of time.  Long story short Windows 7 when you finally land that it is very slow and done strange things, as you type a letter in a field of network connection and it will put 5 to 10 characters.  We go from 08:00 at 12:25 this morning trying to get things to work and still do not have running rights.  Windows 7 has all the updates, VMWare 7, and Yosemite are all installed.  It seems to be a very real problem that must be fixed.

    Well, I found that it worked.  It was published on this site in another link of ShaneBickley, read:

    I decided to try a re - install OSX. Because it worked the last time I came across this. (Mountain lion upgrade. Mavericks and you guessed it... It worked.

    Step 1: Shutdown your virtual operating system

    Step 2: Narrow Vmware

    Step 3: Download again OSX from Yosemite.

    Step 4: Re-install OSX Yosemite (a clean install is NOT necessary)

    Step 5: wait for install finish 30 minutes...

    Step 6: connect on Yosemite OSX

    Step 7: double-click to open VMware 5,6 or 7

    Step 8: Everything should work perfectly.

    I found that for some reason if you install Yosemite before updating you VMware it crashes.

    in order to fix just follow step 8 on easy difficulty as 1-8 worked perfectly every since I did that. We hope that for you also.

    It worked for me also.

  • Would like to know the difference between a < removed > activated Windows and a real

    I have a neighbour.

    He had a not activated copy of windows. He putted up some stuff on the net as and downloaded a software.

    He told me to activate windows within seconds.

    Boom! in a few seconds and displays as Windows is activated.

    On the other hand, I have an OEM version of windows that is authentic dishes.

    I couldn't spot any difference between mine and his copy of windows. However, it has activated it illegally and I have a legal copy.

    Could someone clarify please, would be very grateful.

    The difference is that you have a legally activated Windows version and the neighbor does not work. The version of neighbours of Windows can work as well as your version legally activated, but it still falls into the category of piracy.

  • Windows 7 Home Basic real problem

    I bought a Lenovo Thinkcentre all in one office that was preloaded with Windows 7 Home Basic Edition. The retailer said that it is preloaded with genuine windows. I downloaded Windows Activation Technologies show that "this computer is not running genuine windows" but when I go into the properties of my computer, it shows that windows is activated. There is also an OEM license with me. I also have the product key with me. It is always showing that this computer is not running genuine windows and which is making my computer performance by slowing it down. Any suggestions?

  • Windows Vista activation key issues

    I have a Toshiba laptop, has problems with the firewall and had to take it to get fixed and when I got back with him all my stuff on Microsoft Word is "locked." I can't access any of my stuff out there, it's wanting to enter me an activation code to activate it. My laptop came with Windows Vista already installed and when I received the product key on the back of my computer to activate it again once it says it is incorrect.

    Is there anything else I should do? The only disc that came with the computer is one that installs everything here from scratch, I need to use?

    Thank you

    If you mean that you can not turn on, try to do it manually:

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    To solve the real problem (if even the activation group will not help because of this), repost the genuine advantage Forum at:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads.

    I hope this helps.

  • Misspelling of Microsoft Windows COA sticker - real?

    Misspelling of Microsoft Windows COA sticker - real?

    I bought a Lenovo ThinkCentre second hand on eBay UK (I live in the United Kingdom) a year ago, and I barely noticed a typo in on the Microsoft COA, stuck on the side of the computer. This machine came with Windows Vista Business installed, but I think a typo in 'WIndows' is a very rare case. I have not yet tested the product key.

    Check out the link to the image below, tell me what you think.
    Note: I edited the product key in Fireworks CS5.
    Thank you
    -Toby

    Right, I just activated Vista Business 64-bit with the key on the certificate of authenticity. It seemed to work very well, and there is no problem.

    Seems he could have simply a typo, but I would not have expected it from Microsoft.

  • The Back button only allows me to return a page at a time instead of select a previous page from a drop-down list. It is a real problem: someone has any ideas?

    In the previous version of Firefox, I could go back to a previous page by clicking on a part of the previous button which brought up a list of recently visited sites and clicking on one of them, might go back to this page. This installation does not seem to be available in the latest Firefox, and the back button only goes back one page at a time. It's really embarrassing, like,

      it now takes longer to get to an earlier page
      there is no visibility of previous pages visited
      any actions carried out on webpages are undone when going back through them - this does not happen when jumping back several pages in one go.

  • Windows Update Causes startup problem

    I have an interesting problem with Windows Update (or apparently is from Windows Update). I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, if that info is needed. There are two updates I have not install, as I am not sure that is the cause. The updates in question are Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Defender definitions 1.63.604.0. Here's what's happening.

    When you restart after Windows updates, the computer starts with a black screen with a mouse pointer. That's all. Happened every time I tried to start after the pdates. I can reboot into SafeMode very well, is apparently a problem driver or update.

    I also installed DivX on the computer, but it seemed to work as I could watch .avi via WMP thereafter, so I excluded. I thought that if there was a problem with it, it would not have worked in the first place, but I thought it was interesting.

    In any case, the only solution I found doing a system restore and do not install updates day or DivX, since technically I don't know which is the cause. I had to restore the system 3 times already and I didn't continue to do because this computer was very expensive and I don't want to ruin the hardware or something.

    Someone knows something about an error with updates, or perhaps with DivX that may have caused this. The computer works fine without the updates or DivX, I just want to know what could be the real problem so if it is only one of the 3, I can install the other two at least.

    Change your update settings, install the updates one at a time, hide the problem:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    See you soon.
