Windows 8 upgrade - product activation problem
Hello
I recently bought Windows 8 and went through the upgrade wizard activation process. My problem is I wanted to go on Windows XP 32 bit for Windows 8 64 but I realized too late (i.e. after I completed the installation of Windows 8) that I can't do and I found myself with 8 32-bit Windows installed on my computer.
Now I formatted my C drive and installed a copy of Windows 7 ultimate (64-bit version) and was thinking through the again Upgrade Wizard to migrate to 64-bit Windows 8. But I have to pay for this upgrade or my previous product code will be valid? I do not need or want the 32 but the version that I have the ability to run 64-bit on my computer.
If I have to pay for it, I think I can stay as well on Windows 7. Is there a solution to this?
Simply make the upgrade to Windows 8 64-bit using your product existing key and reactivate by phone:
You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

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

The computer (without Windows reinstallation) upgrade and activation
Heya,
I'm going to upgrade my computer: new mother/CPU/RAM card and I wonder if there will be problems with my Adobe programs. I have the CS4 Master Collection and installed Lightroom 3.
I have to turn off and then turn them on again once the upgrade is done? There will be no reinstallation of the software (I hope): same disc and even installation of Windows 7 (which I guess, going to be reactivated too, but that's another issue).
DRM for any useful contribution.
Yes please deactivate before joining the new mother/CPU/RAM card combo. If you encounter activation problems after you have transferred, please contact our support team.

Windows 7 book regular Windows 7 upgrade product key install CD
My work of key Windows 7 upgrade on Windows 7, just ordinary install CD? I want to add to my laptop but the laptop is not an upgrade. This is a new installation.
My understanding is that you can use the MS on your PC and laptop products.Thanks in advance!Gotcha. I should have insisted on that last part, I've included above - to download the full version:
Alternatively, if I have W7 Home Premium to download and use the product key, it should work?I thought that you could load any MS product on both machines. I bought my PC from an online retailer so I hope that qualifies as a license purchased at retail?No, it isn't, I want to talk about the software, not "material". If the license is preinstalled on the system, you can not remove it and put it somewhere else, it is connected to the computer at all times.
It's just that I bought just when out OS 7 and as soon as I bought it, they sent a disc of upgrade. I would have the drive of W7 if she had been following.This is a record of achievement planned as a free update software preinstalled OEM, its attached to the machine.Is - is this legitimate?His piece of theatre, but only for the HP laptop, you've got. -
Windows Anytime Upgrade product key not / not valid
I have a brand new laptop Asus pre-loaded with Windows 7 Starter (the national retail chain bought) and also bought Windows Anytime Upgrade (always from a national chain). Both must therefore be produced authentic.
I spent two days trying to upgrade to Premium; ten minutes after the operation, I was told that it didn't (several attempts). On advice found on the MS Community tried to turn off my antivirus, downloaded the fix CheckSUR, disabled User Account Control, check the hard disk for errors and hidden/disabled MS Services on selective startup. I already have SP1.All I get now is a message that the product key is not valid (it has not been previously, and I did not). I tried restore and then re - run the Windows updates above, etc., but still the product key is "invalid" and I can't go any further (without option to continue without a valid key).I have never had the real issues of Windows before I couldn't fix, this completely defeated me - ideas? Thanks in advance...You could try to reset it to factory State, and then try the Express upgrade.

With Windows 7 home premium activation problem
I have a home premium Windows 7 family pack. I installed it on 3 computers the first 2 were good, except that a necessary to repair once a week. Finally, I gave up to use this computer as I was tired of constantly repairing Windows 7 above. I installed it on my third computer and it took me several attempts to get it going. He repeated that he was not a genuine copy, which is false. I finally got to cross that probem and then the no real thing showed again after a few months later. I paid for my 3 installs and I need it repaired. I absolutely refuse to be forced to pay for another product code. Please help me on this.

Windows 7 Upgrade now having problems WSUS
We have recently upgraded to a large number of computers to Windows 7 using Mirage and I noticed that they receive are more updates from our WSUS server. We use SCCM 2007 R3 and have supplied the base layer, such as recommended in the administration guide. In fact, SCCM is healthy - deployment of the sequences of tasks without problem, and EFF gets its updates. But the regular Windows updates fail when attempting to use our update server (you can pull updates directly from the internet without any problem. The two main issues are the error messages:
Cannot read the current policy of WUA resulting. Error = 0 x 80070002
and
WUHandler.log - group policy settings have been replaced by a higher authority (domain controller) to: server and policy NOT CONFIGURED
We have worked for several days with Microsoft, but did not get very far. While line indicates a problem with the GPO, but these machines are in the same places in AD as machines for work. 100% Mirage updated machines see the error against 0% for traditional desktop computers. We spent hours to block inheritance of the GPO and play with local policies, but nothing helped. We also reinstall SCCM and rebuilt WMI and update the window. We are gradually loss and appreciate any advice or suggestions. Here is the more detailed error:
UpdatesDeployment.log - error (0 x 80040692) Job received for mission action ({D20B79C2-AB3C-4427-A35C-83C536C6E48E})

Thank you!
We were able to understand it. It seems the registry HKLM\software\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate key has not survived the conversion to a base layer (or maybe the application of the base coat when we went from machines). Export this key to a working machine and import it then in a broken solved our problem. A big thank you to the Diag WSUS Solarwinds tool, that makes us in the right direction.

LWS CS6 product activation problem
Hello
Since the release of the CS6 products we struggle to activate on our corporate network. We always get a connection error saying that the software could not contact the activation server.
When you use an internet without our firewall between the two normal/direct connection, it works. So, there's probably a port or a Web site that is blocked by our firewall. Unfortunately we were still not able to find out who this could be.
So what I want to know, it's the web address and the port that must be open on the firewall for the activation of products from the Adobe LWS site.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
Well, that's what I said, but of course, I can post it here also:
To activate the software please white list these ports:
ccmdls.Adobe.com:443
IMS - na1.adobelogin.com:443
