  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  Windows 8 that came with your PC is OEM type license and is one you want to install the retail type license. Two licenses have different installation keys, so commercial version will not accept EM key and vice versa.
  In addition, Windows 8 Pro key is different from Windows 8 "Core" key. You may not use the button either.

• Product key for win 8 doesn't work no-error: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.

  I bought a copy of windows 8 for the upgrade to windows 7 from the Microsoft store. I need to reinstall the hard drive on this machine, but when I download the installer of windows 8 on another machine to try to create a bootable USB I get an error message when I put in the product key (which I paid for) who says: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.

  How can I get this problem?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  Ideally, there are two types of product keys: key to retail version key upgrade and full. The key to upgrade is used to upgrade the version of the operating system when you have the lower version of the operating system already installed on the system, for example, if you have already installed Windows 7 system, you can use the upgrade of Windows 8 to upgrade (override) currently installed Windows 7 to Windows 8. This product key cannot be used to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a bootable for installing Windows 8 from scratch.

  However, the key of the full version allows to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a Windows 8 boot disk to install a full version of the operating system.

  According to your description, you have reinstalled the hard drive on your machine and want to install Windows 8 by creating a bootable. Thus, you will always have the above error message while downloading executable files for Windows 8.

  There are two options you can try to install Windows 8 on your system:

  • Replace the key with a key to the version upgrade complete on the Microsoft Store and follow the procedure as you said in your post. You will not get the error message given.
  • If you have the Windows 7 installation media, you can try to install Windows 7 on the reinstalled hard drive. After activating this operating system, you can try to upgrade to Windows 8 by using the product key that you have already purchased.

  Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  Hello

  I'm running a server KMS on Windows server 2012 R2 and I have enabled more than 300 PC and servers.

  But for some reason, can no longer trigger the new PCs and servers. They get 0xc004c008 the activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used.

  Nothing has changed on the KMS server and I do not see where the KMS host key could be used outside of the host itself.

• Found the CD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with key, is there a way to see if it is valid?

  So, I was just digging through a pile of junk today, and found Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with a product key stuck to it. It was an OEM kit (for some reason) and I wanted to see if it had been used. Is there a program to see if it is valid without installing it? Because I don't want to lose activation on this just check to see if it will work. Help is very appreciated. (I don't want to use a phone, if that's possible! I hate using the phone... xD)

  If its opening, its likely has been used. Once you break the seal for an OEM System Builder kit, you are bound to the license agreement.

  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

  Thank you for visiting the Windows community. Your message is out of reach for the Windows community forum as well as on our expertise.
  There is not a way to see or get your product from a computer key. There are 3rd party applications available that would allow an end user to do. We do recommend none of them because it would be contrary to our policy. A well-formulated search in your favorite search engine to provide you with the appropriate means.

• Windows XP Professional suddenly asking product key, but do not accept one printed on the laptop. What is going on?

  I've had this laptop for 3 or 4 years, XP Professional. A few weeks, he told me that windows xp must be activated, so I entered the product key located on the sticker on the underside of the computer, but he told me that the key was invalid. I tried to call microsoft technical support, but the best advice they could give me was to remove all and reinstall windows. I would like to know if there is any way around it before I remove everything on my laptop to try something that might not even work.

  TIA

  Hi Tia,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         What service pack is installed on your computer?

  You can see the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article and check if the problem still persists.

  You receive an error message after you enter the product key when you try to install Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310637

  If the laptop is preinstalled with Windows XP and no article has not helped, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows 8 Pro update product key cannot be used to activate Windows after an installed cleaning

  Hi guys,.

  I bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and received the product key I used to download and run a clean install to my laptop using a USB Flash drive (format my HD then install). But now, in my new installed Windows 8, I can't use this product key to activate Windows as it says that the key is for an upgrade, not a clean install. I was not aware of this problem when I did the clean install. So, how can I activate my Windows now?

  It! s a upgrade, you need to UPGRADE your existing system. New installation is not supported. I'm sorry.

  This is simply not true.

  If you had a hardware problem and you will need to re - install Windows 8, you can do this by using installation media that the wizard allows you to create (or installation media that you ordered, if you chose to order discs).

  If you don't have installation media, you can re - install your older version of Windows and rerun the upgrade.

  Whatever it is, you will need the product key you received when you paid for Windows 8. If you choose to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the installation media, you will also need to call Customer Service for help activating your copy of Windows.

  Kind regards
