Windows 8 to ask for activation, when it's already done!

Windows has recently begun asking me to activate windows 8. I already bought this awhile ago and activated. I used my product key to turn it back on and it doesn't work. Says that it is already used by another computer. I don't have this computer to use it. Why, suddenly, be asking me to activate again anyway?

Try the phone activation:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    Hello, Pichon,

    If Windows Vista application unexpected activation

    On rare occasions, you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer that did not previously require Windows Vista activation or has already been activated successfully. For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.

    If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:

    1. Click Start, and then click computer.
    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

    To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

    To update to Windows Vista and prevent this activation problem does not happen:

    1. Click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Update.
    2. Click find updates.
    3. As soon as Windows Vista found the updates, click the install updates button.

  • Windows still ask for activation after that laptop was RMA would be

    My laptop has been recently would be RMA and they replaced the motherboard, keyboard and VGA card. Shortly after receiving this return, Windows began to ask for an activation code. Unfortunately, I didn't write mine down, and the sticker is now faded and illegible. I sent my new laptop because that's what the OEM has asked that I do and they replaced my HARD drive and installed Vista fresh. It does not solve the problem at all.

    Without my original activation code, I don't think I can reactivate Windows. Is there anyway to recover my product key or how to contact Microsoft to get a new one? Because it seems that through my OEM drives me nowhere as they want me to RMA again.

    If your Vista operating system was running, and enabled, we could have helped you recover your product key.
    Unfortunately, this does not apply.

    I'm sorry, but we cannot help you, you don't have a legible label on your laptop...

    It is the responsibility of the OEM to support you.

    See you soon.

  • CS6 and Premiere Elements continues to ask for activation

    Hello

    I am a system engineer in a school. We have a license to Site K12 for CS6 and we bought about 30 versions of single license of elements of Prime Minister through authorized dealers. I have deployed CS6 a few years ago on our old PC by installing the software on a single computer and cloning then the pc 30 times with CloneZilla. That has worked well.

    A year later, I repeated the procedure on the other 25 computers. No problem.

    Last summer, I did the same thing to replace 30 PCs that I had cloned the first time. Since then, I have to activate CS6, again and again once, which indicates a trial version. Also the other classrooms with 25 pc's started asking for activation after 2 years without worries.

    In October I installed Premiere Elements on each individual computer one by one. And that went well for a few months but then all of a sudden PE began to request activation. My colleagues make me crazy with their remarks and their concerns.

    So far, I have tried to activate CS6 by creating a file for serialization with the adobe application manager. When I run the file and restart the program I'm invited is no longer for activation... for a while.

    There is no way of knowing what device invites you at the moment. It is random. Sometimes it's just a camera, then all of a sudden there are 3-4.

    Help, please

    Maarten

  • Windows Live Hotmail asks for personal information by e-mail

    I received numerous emails saying that they come from Windows Live Hotmail, asking for personal information, including my password, date of birth, etc. The messages say that they update of files and I need to send this information, or my account or my account will be deleted. Do you really send these emails, or is this some kind of scam? Computer experts I spoke say that these messages would be never sent any reliable organization and will never respond to these requests for information. What do you know about this?

    Hi SharonMiller,

    They would never ask you for your personal information, so you can assume that it is a scam. Please see do fall not into fake support.

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

  • Windows Messaging keeps asking for a user name and password. What should I do?

    Windows Mail keeps asking for a user name and password.  I know that the username and password are good because I can access mail via the web.  I have two e-mail accounts.  Saturday, I installed 23 updates of windows.  Now today, I can't get into windows mail.  Why?

    Hello

    I am happy that it works.

    It is perhaps that this has nothing to do with your system, but a 'problem' in the e-mail server of the provider.

  • Windows security keeps asking for network password.

    I have a seagate nas110 external Hardrive connected to my computer. Whenever I have try and access the files it contains, a box pops up saying Windows Security and ask for a username and password. I do not have these, I don't think that I've never implemented in this way. How can I disable this? Or what can I do to change the information.

    Hi BRDave,
     
    1. you are the administrator of the computer?
    2. This is the dialog box User Account Control (UAC) that invites you to enter the user name and password?
    3. what trust you go?
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Provide access to the disk permissions hard by logging into the user account administrator
    a. Click Start, click computer.
    b. right-click on the drive that refers to the external hard drive, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the Security tab, select Administrator under "user or group names."
    d. under permissions, allow full control and click ok to apply the changes.
    e. open the drive and try to access the files.
     
    Step 2: Change UAC settings and check the result
    See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
