Windows 8 pro activate windows, the product key does not
Windows 8 pro installed on a new hard drive very well. now the pc settings come to activate windows and my product key does not work. any further suggestions?
You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)
If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.
If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

I suspect you got a key to upgrade from vista to win 8. Have you installed vista first when you put the new HD in?

I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed. I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation. I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid. How can I fix it?
Thank you
If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.
You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?
If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.
However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

Suddenly this week 7 Windows has stopped working and the error message said I might have a non-genuine copy, etc. I checked the product key by using the Start/computer/properties menu. The product key was not the same as on my PC, so I tried to get the right version. Then I got the error message that you have entered the product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7, and I want to run Windows 7 set up or enter a professional product key.
I saw that someone else had been advised to run MGADiag.exe so I've already did but am puzzled by the report. And I'm worried, why me nice Acer desktop PC suddenly did that, when he had worked happily with normal updates etc. The report shows a different product to the label of my PC key.
Can someone help, please
Thank you

Use the product key and do an Anytime Upgrade from Home Basic to Home Premium:
). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option to enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Home Premium, when asked, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium files the stored settings and programs.

OEM of Windows XP product key does not work on Tecra A2
Hello
I have re-formatted a Tecra A2 with XP Pro, which is in charge of the license on the COA sticker but when typed in the product key section when formatting text it says "the product key is not valid."
I use a CD standard Windows XP Pro with SP3.
Help, please!

Product key that you see at the bottom belongs to the version you got with this laptop. You will use it not if you use the CD of Microsoft facilities for the installation of the OS.
If you use standard Microsoft Pro Windows XP CD with Service Pack 3, then enter the product key that you got with this CD of facilities and everything will be OK. -
