  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• I bought the wrong update, I need a Mac Version but ordered a Windows Version. What can I do?

  I bought the wrong update, I need a Mac Version but ordered a Windows Version. What can I do?

  I did exactly the same thing and contacted their customer service on the live chat. It took about an hour before someone was available, but he did return to normal and they also send me a box version that allows the two platforms at the same price. They just canceled my purchase of Windows, placed a Mac purchase on their system, sent me a new serial number and published records canned.

• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  Although I can't find the ban against the "continued" it any where in the EULA.

• Error: "Quicktime may need to be installed in order to display or to convert the video in Adobe Media Encoder.»

  I'm trying to export a Flash video. I get this message

  "Quicktime may need to be installed in order to display or to convert the video in Adobe Media Encoder."

  Despite the error message, it "seems" and spits a mov file, but only the audio crosses (the video is all black).

  I use Flash Professional CC, but older versions (CS6) seem to have the same problem.

  Some tips on how to export as swf no Flash?

  Thank you!

  I would still choose not to send the video through Adobe Media Encoder, which can stop the error message.

  What is your scenario? Video export cannot export integrated H.264 video. If you do animation and audio to go on top an existing H.264 format video, export, but make sure the alpha box set when exporting. Then, you can combine the old movie H.264 with the animation and the sound you made in Flash.

  If you can't get that in Safe Mode, try this

  1. If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, do.

  2. at the command prompt, type this command exactly (space, caps and comma are required):

  Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

  3. restart.

  If you did it, your activation grace period will have been reset, giving you more time to work on the problem.
