• product key does not match current Windows SKU

  I completely rebooted my laptop using the recovery DVD and completed the recovery process until the windows implementation required me to type my windows product key. I typed the key that was on the label of my computer case. However the phrase 'product key does not match current Windows SKU' is displayed. What should I do?

  Hi Michelle,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities.

  I'm sorry to know that you encounter some problems using the product key. Let me try and help you with this question.

  Did you purchase this license from a merchant reseller?

  There are several reasons to why you get this error:

  > You made the it.
  > The product key you entered does not match the key assigned to Windows on your computer. The SKU is waiting for a key matching the installed version
  > The product key has already been used on another computer.

  If you are still having the same problem, then please contact Microsoft Service customer to confirm if the product key is the right one for the current version of Windows 7.

  How and when to contact Microsoft and support Customer Service

  Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

• Current product key does not match.

  I just bought Windows 7 Edition Home Premium on shelf from a local retailer. I went to install the 64 bit version on my Mac to use in conjunction with Parallels desktop. The installation seems to go along fine until I was invited for a product key. I typed in the product key from its packaging. I received the error "the current product key does not match the sku." For the two hundred dollars I paid just I just can't believe it. What a scam. How can I fix it? I'm not quite there. Thanks for nothing Microsoft.

• Private key does not match cert.

  Hello

  I just bought certificates to an authority important cert for my area of work poc, but when you try to install them on the Configurator in the SSL part I get a "private key does not match cert".

  I got three files of digicert (DigiCertCA.crt - TrustedRoot.crt and mysite.com.crt)

  I have them open with notepad and copy all the content in a text file in the order of trusteroot mysite - digicert. This stuck in the part of the SSL certificate and copied the REA does for demand in the private key part, but it fails with this error.

  also tried downloading the cert as a pem file but the same error.

  If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

  See you soon

  Solved.

  In fact, I feel really stupid but who knows that someone else could sit and scratch your head like I did so as usual better sharing where it can benefit and spare some time.

  Reading here and there (I really feel like a fool...) I figured out I was entering my CSR to enter my private key. But then, where is my private key?

  I generated the cert with the tool of digicert. Filled in all the fields so I end up with my cert and my csr... No private key

  In order to get the key of a bit of research on Google as usual and think about it.

  Add to export the certificate with the private key using openssl and managed to recover the key

  Export the private from the pfx file key file

  OpenSSL pkcs12 - in filename.pfx - nocerts - out .pem

  Export the certificate file in the pfx file
  OpenSSL pkcs12 - in filename.pfx - clcerts - nokeys-out cert.pem

  Remove the password for the private key
  OpenSSL rsa - in .pem-out server.pem

  Chained all three CERT downloaded previously into one. It stuck in the SSL section. Copied content of server.pem in the private key part and TaDaaa here goes green

  See you soon

• Windows 8 OEM or 8 Pro on portable UEFI - product key entered does not match

  Hello, I have a laptop (Asus Zenbook UX32VD) UEFI which Windows installation has been replaced by a Linux distro, including the recovery partition.

  There is no trace of Windows on the drive I can find, however when I plug in my USB from Windows 8 Retail Pro , created with the tool here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only (using the appropriate license key) and when I choose "install", the Setup program indicates it starts, but then stops with a message: "the entry of the product key does not match any of the Images available for Installation Windows. Enter a different product key. I can't enter the right one. I am convinced that the key OEM of Windows 8 is still somewhere in the BIOS.

  Anyway, how to install anything? Either version would be perfect. I read that I can stop Setup to read the license key from the BIOS by pressing one of the buttons F #. I tried them all without success.

  Former title: OEM Windows 8 or 8 Pro on laptop UEFI

  I remember seeing 'Windows 8' in the system, as well as "AAOEM" at the end of the key applet; and it is multilingual, from the beginning and x 64. The OEM key will work with the 8.1 Windows installation?

  And the problem is, I can't download the ISO right now: I get "Download was not completely successful" when using media creation tool (where I could select Windows 8.1 we x 64). I use it on another laptop running Windows 8.1 UK x 64. Anyway, I've tried and succeeded in a clean install of Windows 8 Pro in a virtual linux machine (so no embedded OEM key), answering my basic needs; However, it is really a temporary solution.

  As I said before that the tool of "Upgrade Windows with only a product key" requires a key I have only for Pro 8, and the keys to the list of default keys Windows ADK are considered as invalid, and so I can not end up with Windows 8 (.1) non-Pro in this way.

  I also found this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/bipass-uefi-provided-product-key-to-install/a271067b-d655-4b46-8b52-b3f191b9370c and created the PID.txt file with the key; have not yet tried, but it looks promising.

  Creating a file PID.txt won't help you in the slightest. Although it is possible to use a generic key in a PID.txt around enter your product key during the installation of Windows... It will only make problems with product activation later down the line.

  Windows 8.1 [edition variant A] will not activate with a 8.1 Windows [edition variant B] where possible editions are:

  Windows 8 = Windows 8.1

  Windows 8 single language = Windows 8.1 single language

  8N = Windows 8.1N Windows

  Windows 8.1 with Bing

  Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing

  Windows 8 Professional = Windows 8.1 Professional

  Windows 8 Professional N = Windows 8.1 Professional N

  Through the .iso image file editions until does not have your product key is the best solution at the moment unfortunately.

  Ask you please help to solve this problem

  Thanking you,

  Yogesh clavreul,

  Hi yogesh,

  This problem could be due to the fact that the product key provided does not match the press which is used to install Windows. The product key that is provided can be a file without assistance, in a. EI. CFG file, in the PID.txt file or in the BIOS firmware. Windows OEM 8 machines ship with the product key in the firmware, and if this product key does not match the press, then you will see the above error message.

  You are able to start after receiving the error message on the screen?

  I suggest you to change the product key to the correct for the media you are trying to install. If the system has a product key in the motherboard (o. a. 3.0 [Activation OEM] provides an OEM product key in the firmware), you use an Unattend file, file (EI.cfg) edition Configuration or the product ID file (PID.txt).

  You can check the link:

  Your friends drive is most likely a "Retail" XP version which has its own product key. In most cases, you can reinstall XP using 'Reticular' media and then activate with your OEM. Is that what you did?

  Pls help me Sir, I would like to Win7 in my computer again.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you are facing the question with the reinstallation of Windows 7 on your computer.

  Because the computer does not recognize the CD - R into the DVD player probably boot order is set to hard drive first. I suggest to change the DVD boot priority in the BIOS and then try to perform the Startup Repair.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  In order to make changes in the BIOS, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  Method 1:

  Unplug all external devices connected to the computer with the exception of the keyboard and mouse and check if the problem persists.

  M odes 2:

  If the problem persists try the Startup Repair. It is one of the recovery tools in the System Recovery Options menu. This set of tools is on your computer's hard disk and on the Windows installation disc. To learn more about Startup Repair , you can refer to the below mentioned article:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Startup-Repair-frequently-asked-questions

  Method 3:

  In addition, if startup repair is not enough, you can perform a system restore, check if it helps you to solve the problem. For reference, you can see the article mentioned below.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

  Note: when you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.
