• Blocked for Windows 8 Pro product key

  So, I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro on Ebay a little more than a month.  I was able to install AND activate Windows 8 Pro with success at the time (1 month ago).  It was a clean install on a new hard drive.

  However, I decided recently (a week) to upgrade a bunch of material (card video, monitors, power supply and also temporarily hard drive)... and in doing so, I did a fresh reinstall of Windows 8 (on a HDD test,) then hard disk that I had installed Windows 8 on a previous month.  Both of these fresh relocations a week ago, I was unable to activate Windows 8.  My product code is blocked.

  Am I blocked because of my hardware changes?  Or am I blocked because I bought a bad Windows 8 (e.g. maybe I bought a MSDN code)?  Here is the result of Licensingdiag.exe.

  Thank you very much in advance!

• Satellite A100-709 - Windows XP Pro lost key

  Hello

  I formatted my machine today and re-installed the same operating system (Windows XP Pro), but did not notice that my key of windows on the back of my Satellite A100-709 has been torn. :(

  So now I have a machine with an inactive license.
  No idea how I can get it back, should I talk to Toshiba/Windows to do knowing that they might have in their books of b?

  Hello to omak

  Problem s that this key at the bottom isn't for the activation of the OS and this is the license for the original Windows Toshiba version offers with this laptop.

  If you are using clean install of Windows XP Home edition, you must use the key to legal license for this version.
  You have original Toshiba recovery DVD that you got with your laptop?

• After having upgraded to windows 8 pro, digital keys no longer work.

  I have a HP Pavilion P7 1054 w / AMD Athon II 645, which was initially loaded with the Windows 7 operating system. When I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, now the number keys on the keyboard do not work.  My keyboard is one that came with the HP computer and is hard wired using a USB port.

  2. the Device Manager in the search box and the launch of the program
  3. navigate to the section of your keyboard, expand it, and then uninstall the driver

  5. once the computer has booted to the top, reconnect the keyboard.

• 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.

• Windows XP Pro product key

  I got a laptop for my father and I try to reformat & get going for him. I got an operating system disk Windows XP Pro to the place of the local computer. I am trying to install & using the product key on the bottom of the laptop tells me that the CD key is not valid. The Lady instead of the computer told me that the product key on the bottom of the laptop is what I needed. As I walked she told me that they reformat for $80. So if the product key at the bottom of my laptop does not work, how they will reformat? Something smells like fish on this subject. My question is how can I get a valid product key code?

  This is a question for the people who sold you the XP disc.  Microsoft sells more than XP, and as much as I know they will probably not help with activation.  You might have a chance with the manufacturer of the laptop; they might be able to give (sell) you the installation media that work with the product key on the computer.

• Download Windows 7 pro, MSNDAA key have

  I'm not a student anymore so I can't access the download MSNDAA of my school Web site but I lost the disc and the Windows 7 software recovery page does not accept my product key, apparently because it is not a retail key.

  Is there a way to download a legitimate copy that I can use with my key? MSNDAA software is supposed to be usable after its studies, but not for commercial use.

  Unfortunately, your options are limited, because Microsoft no longer provides that Digital River Windows 7 downloads. ISO. So, your options are the following:

  -Borrow a Windows 7 Professional Retail (full version or upgrade) or an OEM System Builder DVD from a friend who has a.

  -Try to ask the support of Microsoft backup.

• Windows 8 Pro product key does not work

  I get this error message: "this product key has not worked. Please check it and try again"

  
  
  Just bought the Windows 8 Pro in Windows 7 home premium upgrade.  Fresh installed from a USB...

  Got mine sorted... I called customer service... you guys can check it out here for your countries respective http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers

  So yes... to explain the situation, they will provide you with this diagnostic package... click on the package, reset your comp... and you should be able to activate your shiny new operating system... they were quick to fix my problem... Bravo to them... hope it helps = D

  Method for those who don't want phone customer service:
  Your key is a unique key for update... meaning that it will not allow a new installation... unless you do the workaround of Windows 7 registry.

  You must open a run dialog box and type: "Regedit".

  Then I located this key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE /.

  And find one called "MediaBootInstall.

  Double-click that and change a 1 to 0.

  Then open cmd as administrator

  Type the command "slmgr /rearm.

  You will get a restart of your computer messge.

  Restart

  Then when you restart your computer, you open a dialog box run again and type "slui.exe 3" and it will allow you to enter your product key and activate :)

• 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!

• My Windows 8 Pro product key does not work to activate my copy of Windows 8 Pro

  Step 2: I removed all the other my system HARD drives and installed Windows 8 on the new hard drive. The system asked product key. I went in and everything installed perfectly. Windows works fine. I like it.

  Step 5: I get to a new screen and technology (Jerry) explains that I am turned on.

  Step 6: I restart my PC and I go to the 'System' page in the control panel and it shows that my copy of Windows 8 is activated!

• PC refurbished with Windows XP preinstalled.character keys have been disabled

  I bought a refurbished with pre-installed Windows PC.  I was prompted to enter the product key to activate.  I find the new COA product key, but I'm unable to type all the characters due to the keys on the PC being disabled by Microsoft during the registration process.  Now what should I do?

  Yes, it seems that you have a non-genuine product key. You might be able to phone activation, but probably not.

• Looking to update a MAK active Windows 7 Pro Ultimate key...

  My boss currently remotes in towards a Windows 7 Professional Hyper-V machine. It has been activated with a key of type "MAK". However, he wants to use multiple monitors with its installation, which cannot be achieved with Ultimate. Since I am new to the virtuilization and the MAK-type keys, I thought that we could use a copy of the ultimate OEM and do the upgrade. Problem is its OS is missing, Windows Anytime Upgrade, and the installer wants me to to make an 'upgrade' of instillation.  I tried to disable the object in GPEdit, which disables WAU, but it did not help.

  I guess my question is, does an upgrade is even possible in the way that we are trying to do? Is there something I'm missing here? Am I'll have to do a fresh install?

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, you need a new custom installation. You can do the upgrades with OEM licenses.
