• Windows 7 Home Premium invalid product key.

  Hi all!

  Hope you can help me out here. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1525 with 7 Home Premium.

  I had to do a repair reinstall because of virus issues, and every time I try to activate windows it says that my product key is not valid. I tried online with automated phone activation and with an agent of the customer on the line, nothing helps.

  I have the portable authentication certificate delivered with and I was wondering if there is information which could be used to verify my product, or is there anything else I can do to check this version of 7?

  Thanks in advance!

  Jacky

  Thanks for your help, everyone! In fact, I managed to get the product key to work when I tried again. No idea of what makes the difference, but it's great to have such a mass of knowledge here.

  Thanks again!

• Windows 7 Home Premium error Code 0xC004E003, trying to key OEM activation

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop that is about 3 years now and last month that the laptop hard drive had crashed, with whom i coudnt restore using my backup media.

  I changed the hard drive and knowing full well that I would need to install a new operating system, I bought the windows 7 Home premium full license DVDs. I have installed windows on the hard disk with no real probems but as I tried to activate the product key, but I get the error 0xC004E003 Code.

  I tried to find a way to activate by phone but it does not have this as an option, instead, it gives an option to call Toshiba. The warranty on the laptop was completely outdated, but I noticed that in Control Panel-> system-> system security that the product ID is xxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxx.

  What I have to write off the record that I use is more an OEM version of windows? If so how is this done? I would have thought that the new product key would have replaced the OEM version?

  IM new on these forums, please take it easy on me :) If you need more information, ask me, I tried my best to give the events cronological order.

  Cheers in advance

  Thank you for your help on this confusing subject, I do not understand how it may not be true with all holographic stickers on the DVD and a COA product key is looking for real?

• Misfortunes of Windows 7 Home Premium Activation

  I bought a pack family of Windows 7 Home Premium 3 license in November.  Now that I have finally all 3 PCs installed with W7, I can't activate my version after restoring a saved image.  It keep telling me my key has already expired, which, quite frankly, is a load of B$.  I didn't spend the money for a copy legitimate to be told that I'm trying to fly in a roundabout way.  I've already called the so-called help line, which was worthless, because he says their rep Center is closed.  The online activation Assistant was a joke, since he says that my license key was valid only for a PC, which is more B$.  It's the first time I've ever had this kind of problem and I'm not just annoyed, but I'm also insulted.  It's ridiculous!  Get a grip on the situation, Microsoft, or find a world best, less buggy how to validate your products.  Dissatisfaction of the customer support is in order, I think.

  So, now that who harangue is over, what I can do?  I'll be even more belligerent if I have to wait for the customer support center open :).

  If the online activation fails, the backup option is to call and activate manually:

  If you have difficulties to activate Windows 7 open the Windows Activation Wizard in Windows 7 to use the phone and activate Windows:
  1. When you reach the desktop click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
  2. press enter on your keyboard
  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

  Thank you for that. I did some more research on the forums then rebooted my machine. The installation is completed successfully. I think that Microsoft should focus on this. Very confusing tell them that this is a key issue when all that is needed is the machine to be restarted. Thanks for your help anyway. See you soon

• Limitations of re-Activation of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM

  I think about building a new PC Core i7 and Windows 7 Home Premium OEM license purchase. I understand that in the future, if I make significant material changes, such as the replacement of the motherboard or the CPU, I re - activate Windows 7.

  My questions are:
  1 - How many times can I re - activate Windows 7 Home Premium OEM as long as I install it on one PC?
  2 are there limitations to the activation of the operating system, as the replacement of the motherboard, processor and hard drive at the same time?

  Thank you!

  1. If you change the motherboard, it invalidates the OEM licensing all together.
  -OEM versions allow all upgrades of equipment with the exception of a upgrade to a different model motherboard
  The license is linked to the motherboard when its installed and active.

  2. by phone, then upgrade with wisdom.

  I'm afraid that someone will end you in completely in the wrong direction on this. The recovery media is probably completely OK.

  The HP SLIC has absolutely nothing to do with the windows you are trying to install, but stands in the BIOS of the laptop. Someone hacked the BIOS Acer to tell windows antifeatures of piracy which is HP laptop, presumably so that they could use HP media instead. Reinstalling Windows will not fix the BIOS.

  All I can suggest is to download the Acer BIOS update files and try and install one to replace the SLIC entry. There is however 2 caveats to that. 1stly that the damaged area is not always included in the files to update the standard BIOS, so if you can run a BIOS update may not solve the problem. 2ndly some BIOS update programs you cannot install an older than the currently installed BIOS and one that fits in a first time (because it can be complete) would be the version original factory.

  It's not all just Microsoft to blame for this issue when it was caused by someone trying to circumvent the measures to combat software piracy that any developer has the right to use. As said from your description that it is only a problem due to fraudulent activity.

  Also when you are communicating on this forum you're not dealing with Microsoft, all the people here are voluntary and have no direct involvement with Microsoft to help posters like you.

• Windows 7 Home Premium with invalid Code of Activation in the virtual environment

  I have a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, I could get the Product Code of Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder.  I created a Virtualbox Win7 environment to test the code for what should I have to rebuild my computer I have everything properly.  Although I enter the code correctly when I try to activate it says that is not valid.  Is it because I'm under a system with it already running with the same product code that it does not work properly? Or something else?

  If your intention is to rebuild the desktop, why would need to test the activation code to see if it works, when it is currently working on the host itself? I can understand the Windows 7 Home Premium assessment in the virtual environment, but the idea of the code itself, no.

  If its already active in the host, then that means it works.

  If Home Premium from Windows 7 is pre-installed on the host itself, the code that you use cannot be used to activate Windows 7 elsewhere.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If it is a retail license and you need to reactivate Windows 7 Home Premium if you reinstall from scratch, you can still use phone activation:

  Go to the properties of the system of the host machine (start > right click computer > properties > scroll to the bottom of the window). If you see OEMS in the ID of the product you can not use elsewhere:

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
  Once saved, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
  To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

  What is an upgrade?

  If so, you must install and activate a qualifying operating system before you perform the upgrade.

  For which version and edition of Windows the computer is allowed according to the COA sticker on the case?
