Windows 8 Pro detail update of the additional keys only, they can be resold?

A few years ago I bought four of these keys directly from MS when they had a special on them. Now I use only a single key, 2 were used, but the computers have since been formatted and put discarded and 1 never activated key. Electronically, they were sent to me so there is no record to go with them, but MS has kept this page for a person to download Windows 8/8.1 using their key. What I've read that a touch of detail may be sold only once to another user. This applies in this case if no records were ever provided?

Licensing information:

If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • I have an ACER Travelmate p273 loaded with Windows 7 Pro. Where is the product key?

    In the last month, I received an alert from MS that I have an unofficial version of the operating system. Order to veriy that's an authorized version, they ask for a product key. Can not find on the computer or on any of the disks provided with this package. Any suggestions?

    For anyone else having this problem: eventually had to call Microsoft to help customer service. The product key, I had been locked by Ms. representative provided a new product key that allowed me to work with MS Windows 7 pro. So far everything seems to work ok.

    I recently bought a HP Windows XP Pro computer. It is registered to the previous oener. I want to save Windows XP Pro in my name. How can I do this?

    With a used computer, regardless of its origin, recommended is to do a clean install of Windows. On most HP computers, you can enter the factory restore process by pressing a key of function as F11 at startup of the computer. There will be a message on the screen when you start the computer that tells you what function key. Do a full destructive factory restore. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

    Install Vista on two machines
    OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

    Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

    It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

    So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

    ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

    Hello

    1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

    And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

    2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

    The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

    While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

    Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

    See you soon.

  • Windows XP (SP3) refuses to allow the addition of "Network Service" as a user of the service DCOM.

    DCOM error 1016 Windows XPx32

    Several solutions, all virtually identical to this question:

    Machine default permission settings grant Local Activation permission for the application server COM with the CLSID
    {A4199E55-EBB9-49E5-AF1A-7A5408B2E206}
    the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

    However, the error persists;  Windows XP (SP3) refuses to allow the addition of "Network Service" as a user of the service DCOM.  The question was supposed to be fixed in a service pack, patches, etc., but he persists.  This despite the change permissions to allow that user permissions in HKCR | CLSID. {"clsid :} or HKLM\Software\Classes\AppID.

    Now what?

  • Windows Mail is not refreshing since 09/02/2012. When I try to update using the F5 key, I get the error messages.

    Windows Mail is not refreshing since 09/02/2012.  When I try to update using the F5 key, I get the error messages.  The only way I can see me new emails is to sign on the web page of my Internet service provider, which I don't like.

    original title: windows mail is NOT refreshing

    It would be useful that Microsoft has put a notice to have several products access our email accounts so that us non-technical people could avoid these problems.

    Maybe it's something that Apple should warn the consumer. I have three e-mail accounts and I receive and send all the accounts on three different computers at the same time and have never had this problem. Your case is the first.

  • Install Windows 10 Pro lowered home (with no product key) after expenses.

    Received my Lenovo ThinkPad 11th yesterday and after much research, I decided to do a clean install. It came with WIndows 10 Pro and I checked the settings (that I created my Windows account at the same time) and he said that it has been activated using Windows. According to the instructions of Microsoft (and various YouTube videos, I've looked), once a machine is activated, it would automatically update the product key, so no need to find.

    That is the problem. I had installed 10 Windows on a USB key and the installation went well, or so I thought. I checked the settings after installing different programs that I would use as he said that I need activate Windows. Well, checking settings, he lowered me 10 Windows Home and of course the the product key in the system (if it's still there) that is the error I get is not valid.

    Of course, it is not a product key on the bottom of the computer and there is nothing in the box. How can I get my product key back so that I can install Pro back?

    Using ProduKey, I get two different keys. One for the new Home edition and the other for the OEM Bios. I guess that I need reintsall (new) and use the key in BIOS Yes?

    So guess what? He's back for Pro and it is activated!

    I think what happened is that I downloaded the single language version and that's what he screwed up. I just redownloaded windows 10 (first on the menu drop-down) and he installed Pro and activated.

    Creating new media doesn't let you choose, he will choose for you based on your product key from the system.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Just updated to ios 9 and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters.  I can not restore from iTunes as I have to disable 'find my iPod toch' and cannot do the iPod is blocked with the message to update.  Will not work force a stop down.

    Just updated to ios 9.2 (from 8 something) and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters.  I can not restore from iTunes because I have to disable "Find my iPod touch" first of all, and I can't do as the iPod is blocked with the message to update.  Forcing a stop down does not work that for some reason, I am unable to turn off my iPod touch manually.  I tried to turn off my wifi to see if that stops the iPod touch, but he always keeps on the message to iCloud.  Do I just wait until the battery sinks so that it forces a reboot?

    Place your iOS device into Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    iOS: I forgot the password or disabled device

    If the recovery mode does not work, try the DFU mode.

    How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."

    To learn how to restore:

    iTunes: restore iOS software

    To restore backup see:

    Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

    If you restore from a backup of iCloud apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from backup iTunes, applications and music must be in iTunes since synchronized as music media library and apps are not included in the backup of the iOS device what iTunes does.

    You can re-download most of iTunes purchases by:

    Download after purchase from the App Store and iTunes Store iBookstore

    If no problem what happens or doesn't happen, and when in the instructions? When you get the iPod into recovery successfully mode and connect to iTunes on the computer should say that it found an iPod in recovery mode.
