Windows Activation error 0xC004C003 specified key is already used.

We have bought Windows Vista Ultimate Edition for my husbands custom desktop and installed fine.  We had a House as the fire smoke and soot damaged all of our electronic and information technology.  The CDs and the codes were very good and we are trying to continue to use the software and get the above error.  How can I fix without buying new software?

Thank you!

  • Windows activation error: the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer.

    Activate Windows 7

    I would like to ask questions about how can activate my correct windows, I tried to activate it but he said to me (the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer) I don't know what I have to do?

    Windows product ID: 00426-068-2964761-86079

    Recently, there have been a rash of product keys for Windows 7 purchased from auction sites appear here as not authentic.  They appear to be related to this HROnline HrOnline code: 0xC004C4A2. If you have purchased a key of a web site selling auctions (like eBay), please understand that the seller would have sold this product to several people key, causing the key more on the blacklist. These keys were never intended for resale; they were intended for the software development or assessment depending on the program that they were obtained through. If you have purchased one of these keys and it became not genuine with the above code, you must purchase a new license for windows 7. Try to validate by going to www.microsoft.com/geniune and follow the links provided to repair windows.

    Added note. You have only a limited amount of time (45 days I think) filing a claim with the auction sites. Stay away from these keys, if you purchased a key that has turned non-genuine and are within 45 days of purchase file a claim. There are publishers of legitimate software on auction sites, but if it sounds too good to be true then don't buy it.

    Things to watch for.

    Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN subscription product keys packed with legitimate research media. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy.

    If you purchased a product key, with or without DVD or packaging of a sale auction web site (e.g. eBay) or any other person or seller and this could be a product key MSDN Subscritpion because your key has been blocked, you can check a few things.  If you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product.  However, some counterfeit software is if convince you may not be able to identify it as such.

    To check your PID the Win Key Press and have a break at the same time or open system properties in Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and look at the PID.  It will look something like this: 1234567-12345-067-54321.  The part that you are interested in is the section to three figures.  If it matches or is in one or two digits from the examples below, you probably have a "non-destinee for resale" MSDN subscription product key

    Suspect: 065, 066, 067 068 for Windows 7 Ultimate edition, 220 area for the professional and the 230, 231 area for Home Premium.  There are probably others, but they should be close to those posted.

  • Cannot activate Windows 8 error key is already used by another pc.

    OT: Product key Windows 8.

    Hi, so I bought windows 8 pro a year ago and installed on my laptop but I recently bought a new desktop computer and gave my laptop to my sister. She didn't so I put windows 7 on the laptop for her and went to put windows 8 on my windows desktop 8. It installed fine but when I go to activate windows it says that the key is already used by another pc. Why he says this when the computer that I had windows 8 is no longer a windows 8?

    You use telephone activation. The database of activation of Microsoft still has your old laptop, saved using the key of Windows 8.

  • A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

    Hi all

    I have a 5.5 esxi server just the a virtual machine running at the moment. I try to clone this as shown below:

    http://nchrissos.WordPress.com/2013/04/22/cloning-a-VM-without-vCenter-in-ESXi-5-1-free-edition/

    However, I get the error:

    A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

    I have no vcenter (yet), and it's just the 1 vm. The virtual machine is turned off. I get this error regardless of the name, I said that when I choose "add to the inventory.

    All advice appreciated.

    Thank you

    Oh dear...
    you read bad advice on the internet and then you get also the stupid advice here.

    Ignore both!

    If you want to clone a virtual machine by copying - do it like this:

    Create new virtual machine with the wizard.
    Skip creating a disk for new customers.

    In Datastorebrowser copy the original vmdk to the new dir, which has been created by the wizard.
    Reopen the new VM and edit - assign the vmdk that you just copied.

    The procedure of the blog is not supposed to work.
    Sissine trick doesn't make sense either

  • Product key for win 8 doesn't work no-error: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.

    I bought a copy of windows 8 for the upgrade to windows 7 from the Microsoft store. I need to reinstall the hard drive on this machine, but when I download the installer of windows 8 on another machine to try to create a bootable USB I get an error message when I put in the product key (which I paid for) who says: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.

    How can I get this problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    Ideally, there are two types of product keys: key to retail version key upgrade and full. The key to upgrade is used to upgrade the version of the operating system when you have the lower version of the operating system already installed on the system, for example, if you have already installed Windows 7 system, you can use the upgrade of Windows 8 to upgrade (override) currently installed Windows 7 to Windows 8. This product key cannot be used to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a bootable for installing Windows 8 from scratch.

    However, the key of the full version allows to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a Windows 8 boot disk to install a full version of the operating system.

    According to your description, you have reinstalled the hard drive on your machine and want to install Windows 8 by creating a bootable. Thus, you will always have the above error message while downloading executable files for Windows 8.

    There are two options you can try to install Windows 8 on your system:

    • Replace the key with a key to the version upgrade complete on the Microsoft Store and follow the procedure as you said in your post. You will not get the error message given.
    • If you have the Windows 7 installation media, you can try to install Windows 7 on the reinstalled hard drive. After activating this operating system, you can try to upgrade to Windows 8 by using the product key that you have already purchased.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

    I have the same problem, and I think that MS is absolutely unjust:

    1. I have legal copy for about 2.5 years and had no problem with activation. MS changed something in MY SYSTEM VALID without telling me! If not how could having windows change my behavior?

    2. now I have to prove that my copy is legal - also I can't prove it, because I'm registered anno, so the key "is in use" - of course, it is! by me. (I am "punished" because I wanted to act according to the needs.)

    3. I tried to get help for my problem - no way!

    4. it seems that the only solution is to buy AGAIN the softwrare I already paid for. But that money is not due, so I'm not paying for what is legally mine. I'll look for other OS - perhaps LINUX to replace Vista. I'm sorry, I get fed up with the problem generated by MS!

  • Windows Activation error 8 0xC004C003

    Please help me!

    I recently updated my window preloaded 8 to 8.1.
    However, after the update it does not accept my old window key 8
    and asks me to activate with a product key. Here is the error code: 0xC004C003

    My DELL XPS came with a preloaded copy of window 8 and yes there a 8 to the rear window sticker

    and fully enabled until I updated to windows 8.1.  And as far as I know,
    system that comes with preloaded window 8 has its product key
    injected into the motherboard and 8.1 is a free update for users of window 8.

    So why the update does not accept my window key 8
    and ask me a new key? I know that my 8 window key cannot be used for any other system
    because the key is injected into the mother board and I don't even know the key myself.

    So what can I do now to my window be reactivated?

    No more frustration, it's that I can't go back to windows 8.

    I tried to reset it to the original image using DELL backup & built in system recovery software.

    However, after the image of the factory it does not accept embedded product key.

  • Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

    (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

    How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

    I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

    Hi Christian,

    I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

    As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

    I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

    See the link below for the number of support:
