• Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

  I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

  Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

  Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

  Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

  What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

  The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

  This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

  Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  How to: perform a customized Windows installation

• Windows 7-three license user. 1 computer fails WGA - 2 pass!

  I bought a license update 3 reviews of Window 7 Ultimate from Amazon in Nov 09.  It has been installed sucsessfully on three computers and worked well since then. Last week, one of the computers booted up and began to give @you may be victim of software Couterfeit' warnings and fails the WGA to test.  Two other computers that also had continuous regular updates to spend.  I was not able to contact the seller through Amazon Market place. Looking carefully at the disc and support box etc, it seems that this drive was supposed to be an OEM system, as there is no COA with it (I don't know if 3 user license come with 3 modes of action) and the product key is xxxx. OEM... XXXX the middle of it.  After paying a meaningful of oney aount, I am at a loss what to do next. Can anyone help?  If it's wrong I'm more than happy to report it to help prevent what happens once again, but I need to solve this problem.  When I tried ringing Microsoft, represntative phone not even help as all he kept saying: ' you must buy genuie ' ust buy you genuine, which is exactly what I thought, I did...  Help!

  Unfortunately, your copy of Windows 7 Ultimate is a counterfeit.  This is a pirated version of an OEM copy, which includes an exploit to illegally bypass product activation.  I suggest that you contact the seller and ask for a 100% refund.

  For you non-genuine problem, you will need to purchase an authentic edition "full version" of Windows 7 for each computer and perform a "clean installation" complete.  You can acquire genuine Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store.

  BTW, there was never any version 3 legitimate user of Windows 7 Ultimate license.  Your seller apparently invented this story to get you to buy its fraudulent goods.

• 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)
  John

  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.

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

• Is XP/Windows 7 retail license, legal?

  Hi, I'm a consultant and I have a handful of customers who might be interested of VMWare view.  Here is the small business ranging from 30 to 100 users.

  The plan was to replace workstations with energy efficient Thin Clients.

  I started things out of price and pricing wise it doesn't seem to hurt.  Not including widows licenses, a project of 30 reviews would cost about $25,000, includes servers, San, thin clients and VMware View licenses.

  I have thought origanlly I could buy XP Retail Pro licenses or retail Windows 7 Pro licenses.  Basically 140 $240 per license.

  But then I started reading assign them positions on the licenses and now im just confused.  Everybody keeps to need to have a VEDC license and a Microsoft SA agreement in order to be legal.  Plus I would have to pay $100 per license, simply because im using a thin client.

  If im trying to figure out what is the best way to go about licensing for windows?

  Price wise things seem to get high if I have to pay $240 for a license windows and then $100 per year for the SA/VEDC license.  I won't be able to sell to a customer.

  To get to my question, the retail of Windows licenses are legal in a virtual environment?

  Oh if this can help, is a small Setup program, so the plan is to ensure that each user will receive the same office every time they connect, there is no installation of swimming pools, so users will not get a VM that is different when they connect.  -What helps with licensing?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Yes, you will have to go with the FORM of license with Microsoft.  If your use of a thin client, you will need to use the license part # DTA - 00051

  It would be nice if we could buy a license, the retail of time or even a volume license but since its in a virtualized environment, you need to go with a VECD license.

• Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

  Hello

  I tried to fix this for hours, I hope someone can help me.

  I downloaded the ISO "Win10_1607_English_x64.iso" (4.29 GB) file and with him came a "info.plist" (2 KB), so they are both on my 64 GB USB Drive (format: MS-DOS (FAT32)) called 'WINSTALL '.

  I have the ISO on the USB key, and it is selected as the ISO image in Boot Camp. I also have the USB the disk of destination selected, and yet I get this error:

  Your bootable USB key could not be created

  Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

  I'm currently under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 on my iMac (21.5 inch, end 2012) that is compatible with Windows 10.

  If anyone can help me I honestly love so much, I tried contacting Apple Support staff by phone, they said that they can't do anything, I tried to contact their Live Chat, but none of this has helped to solve the problem, and I tried to look online, but can't find too much.

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  What OSX Version do you have? This site gives the requirements of Bootcamp: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support. And you did an upgrade? Could it be that the upgrade will not correctly for the OS?

  Looking at the 10 Windows version you downloaded, is the update of birthday, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, because it is too recent. I don't know if you have access to the download of the previous generation and do a Windows update?

• An unexpected error occurred during the generation of the Volume License Installer

  I'm building a Volume of NI Developer Suite 2016 DS1 License Installer.  I created the master suite and the installer from the DVD device drivers successfully.

  However, when I try to create tools Xilinx DVD separated issued with the Game Developer on I get the error "an unexpected error occurred during the generation of the Volume License Installer '.

  There is no other information.

  Nobody knows what is this 'unexpected error' and how to work around.

  Just worked it out.  The DVD contains 2 sets of tools; 14.7 & 2014.4.  You must come down with each of them separately, you can't just select the top-level of the DVD folder as you do with all the other discs in the package.  Would be useful if the error to a little more explicit.
