Windows 7 Pro license on multiple computers

Hello

I hope it's a very simple question to answer.

You want to upgrade/Fresh install on Windows 7 from XP or Vista. Take a picture using WDS etc etc.

I was wondering - what contract Microsoft would I need to use 1 license for computer multipule!

Is there such thing as a "selective agreement' or 'Open License'?

I know that the issue is a bit weird - but any advice help would be very appreciated

Windows 7 'Home Premium Family Pack' for up to 3 computers, for many, then you need to focus on Volume licenses.

  • Install an OEM version of WIndows XP Home SP2 on multiple computers, "Dell".

    Why is it possible to install an OEM version of Windows XP Home SP2 on multiple computers from Dell and have activated but not saved? Every Dell computer has its own product key sticker, but apparently this key on the sticker does not match the key that is part of the Dell reinstallation CD. I have this key finder utility that displays the same product key from the registry of each computer Dell. And that the key is not the same as the key on the sticker product key of the computer.

    Dell (and other important OEM) have the right to use a special type of results to 1) facilitate easy mass on preinstalled systems deployment and 2) allow a user to reinstall Windows without the headaches of activation (including situations where the COA is not more readable, etc.).  This activation includes a generic product key, called a key SLP (System Locked Preinstallation), and because it is generic for the purposes of OEM activation, he 1) does not work when used by itself and 2) does not match the product key on the certificate of authenticity.  The COA is your rights real run/use Windows software.  Occasionally, you may be asked to activate Windows (because of the corruption, hardware replacement, installation media unpaired, etc), in this case, the COA product key will work to activate Windows.  With Vista + your COA product key can be used to activate an installation from the media non - SLP (or "retail"), although telephone activation is usually required.  Although generally, it will install and activate, you are ONLY allowed to install Windows using SLP/OEM media on computers that have an accompanying person and COST of qualification for this OS (or down).

  • After upgrading my OEM of Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro license, can I switch my license of windows 8 to a new pc?

    IF I upgrade my license OEM windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, can I transfer my windows 8 pro license to new PC?

    If I need to re - install windows I have to install my copy of Windows 7 oem first and then install the upgrade of windows 8?
    I thought that the new license windows 8 would take the place of the old 7 oem?

    Well, it does, but you are moving elsewhere, but you cannot benefit from rights eligible OEM Windows 7 license to another machine, because the OEM for Windows 7 license was already tied to the first machine that it has been installed on.

    The machine that you transfer the Windows 8 license must have a previous qualification license (XP, Vista, Windows 7, or even Windows 7).

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • I have WXPSP3 and a Windows 8 PRO license. Where can I get the Installer Windows 8 Pro?

    I went through 5 pages of fair related questions, hope this isn't a repeat.  I thought it would for sure.  I tried the instructions I had and she accepted my key but said that it could not connect.  I tried another installer and he said, sorry, must be Windows 7 or Windows 8, does not work with Windows XP, but, the instructions included WXPSP3.  Confused and dazed.  I have a Windows 8.0 Pro license, intended to install and upgrade to 8.1 but if key PRO for 8.1 8.0 works problem would be resolved.

  • Can I install Windows 8 Pro 64 bits with a 32-bit Windows 8 Pro license key?

    I searched through the forum, it seems that there is no difference between 64-bit and 32-bit licenses. However, as I know suggested for 64-bit and 32-bit retail price are different. I get confused! If they are the same, then eveyone would buy a 32-bit and then install 64-bit... is it true? Your response is truly appreciated.

    Yes, the product key works independently of the architecture (32- or 64-bit), so you can use the same product key used to activate 32-bit Windows 8 Pro with 64-bit Windows 8 Pro.

  • How to downgrade Windows 8 Pro - license keys

    In order to exercise my rights to downgrade to Windows 8 Pro for Windows 7 Pro (or business Vista) I need a valid key of Windows 7 Pro. How can I get this key? When I called support license (number of times) I was told that I should use a key of an existing facility, or buy a new one. I explained that by using an existing key (assuming I had a) would have this key reported by Microsoft as invalid, and that buying a whole new license did not exercise my rights under the terms of the license. Time and time again support teams have been unable to provide a solution to this problem.

    Looking at the document of conditions of licence, it says:
    «Instead of using the Windows Pro 8 software, you can use one of the following versions: Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business.»
    and:
    "The manufacturer or installer, nor Microsoft is obliged to provide older versions to you."
    My interpretation of this is that Microsoft (and the OEM) will grant the rights for the downgrade, but refuses to give the key needed to do.
    How can I get a key to be able to exercise my right of demotion, as stated in the terms of the license?

    Hi James, I have been informed by Microsoft that if you get a copy of Windows 7, even if it has been used or granted to another user you can load this copy and use the product key and then call Microsoft explaining you exercise your right of demotion and they will give you an authorization code for the product key that you give them.

    What I was not able to do is to correctly load Windows 7, my PC comes up with an error. I wish Microsoft or could someone tell me the exact steps like those that Microsoft have highlighted is incorrect!
  • Pro Media Center of Windows 8 license is not triggered. How can I make it back to Windows 8 Pro license

    I received a free upgrade license for Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, at the time where they offered.

    I have not noticed that the license is good if active before a date which has since long (a few times in February). The license has been accepted at the entrance and the Media Center software installed, when I went to add new features to Windows 8 (I had already updated the machine to Windows 8 Pro.

    In fact, I don't want to buy the upgrade at this point. How can I make the license back to the old key... which of course, now I can't see.  I bought several upgrades, and you have not installed all, so I don't know how many of those I've not used on other machines upgrade is the one I used on this one.

  • G2 600 SFF: Question on Windows 7 Pro + license 600 G2 LTS Pro Windows 10

    Hi, I recently bought a 600 SFF G2 which was provided with Win7 - 64 Pro, but which was supposed to include a license to win 10 Pro. The device comes with a DVD of Win7 and a HP DVD driver, but instead of a Win10 DVD or license, they included a phamplet who said I was eligible to receive a copy of the recovery of Windows 10 media and HP driver support. I was insutructed to save my computer and ask my copy. I registered my computer, but it wasn't at all clear as to how I could get my copy of each media (driver Win10 and HP). Can someone give me a link or URL that will allow me to get these media (which I assume must be free of charge)? And the Win10 Pro OS will have its own key, or is the key to good machine for Win7 Pro and Win10 Pro? Any help would be greatly appreciated because I was told initially that they would be included in my PC:

    "This system is pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) software and also comes with a license and support for Windows Professional 10 software (64-bit)."

    Thank you

  • License on multiple computers

    I buy soon, a two new Macbook Pro for work and one for home. I want to get the creative cloud and all applications for both, and I was wondering how many licenses is allowed with the purchase of creative cloud?

    For example, I would need a soft like 'Lightroom' to work, but I need Photoshop for the House, but Acrobot for both (as examples). Is there a problem with me using it on several computers?

    Hello

    You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:
    Creative cloud help | Creative cloud desktop.

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications
