Windows activation methods.

Hello, all!

In how many ways we can activate Windows. I have listened to many methods, but I still cannot understand. Another thing is that what is the maximum limit of the windows that we bought once? Some say that it's forever, some say that it is valid for 1 year, some say that it is valid until your machine works, once your machine Burns will also been activating Windows. Some say OEM. Here are many many beaches and methods of activating Windows.

Can anyone 'Master' tell me about any procedure?

I hope that the descriptive answer.

OEM - can activate only on the original PC was purchased (with the original motherboard).

Retail 'Upgrade' - must have an operating system installed, but has unlimited activation, however you may need to activate by phone if you reinstall Windows too often. Can be moved to another PC, until he removed from the previous computer.

Detail of the 'Full' - no prior operating system required, product has unlimited activation, however you may need to activate by phone if you reinstall Windows too often. Can be moved to another PC, until he removed from the previous computer.

  • Reinstalling windows - activation key has expired?

    We bought a desktop dell computer about 1 1/2 to 2 years with pre-installed windows 7 Home premium. He broke, but some parts were always good. We bought a new Acer with preinstalled Windows 8 office which I didn't like. Also, the hard drive of the Dell printer was bigger. The intention was to simply pass on the disks, so Acer would have a bigger disk and Windows 7. It wouldn't boot correctly, so we reinstalled Windows 7 by using a disk image, downloaded from Microsoft and product key that was stuck on the Dell. Finally, we sold the Dell a guy on Craigslist. We had signed up everything except the motherboard, processor and power supply. As we took off the Windows 7 product key sticker. Acer has worked well and never mentioned anything on Windows is not genuine not. He remained off the coast for a few weeks. I turned today and it installs the updates on start up. The login screen normally shows and I connect. The desktop appears in black with 3 lines of text in the corner:

    Windows 7

    Build 7601

    This copy of Windows is not genuine

    There is a window in the middle of the screen that says

    Activate Windows now

    The activation period has expired

    It gives two options:

    Activate now

    Ask me later

    At this stage there is no start bar or the desktop icons as if windows Explorer has not yet begun.

    About 2 to 3 minutes later the paper in his arrives and the start bar and the desktop icons appear. The window "Activate Windows now" disappears also.

    Another window appears which says:

    Update optional delivery does not work

    You may be victim of software counterfeiting.

    I tried not to get my key or whatever it is in fear that it could be a virus.

    What is going on? There may be remnants of the key somewhere on the case of dell outside the sticker? What should I do?

    Reason for the notification: 0xC004F009 (grace period expired).

  • Photoshop elements 13 - can't get a response code in the offline activation method

    Hello

    I have problems with activation Photoshop elements 13. The program itself won't let me even in my adobe ID (seems like it can't connect to the internet, even if my internet connection works fine in the case;) I even tried to disable my firewall and my antivir program). Then, I tried the offline activation method but I can't get a response code; I'm in (and verified) both my serial number and my activation code, but the latter seems to be invalid (even though it worked very well when it is used to get the serial code). I have already consulted the troubleshooting page and looked in my host file and the certificate - nothing helped.

    I have to say that this process of installation of a program are not as painful and tedious as it should install photoshop elements. Any help for this to work? Operating system is Windows 7.

    This could a technical problem that you are unable to activate PSE 13 and get error message.



    If you receive error message like "try following steps:"

    Adobe end all processes from the Task Manager.

    N ° 1)

    Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) with the key R together at once, you will get a command window.

    Type below command and press the enter"" key.

    AppData

    Then go to the Local > Adobe > OOBE. Open the OOBE folder and remove the filepm.db O.

    Step 2)

    (1) open Control Panel and then click on the network and Internet"" option.

    2) click on Internet options, click on the tab "connections".

    (3) in the 'Connections' tab, select 'LAN' settings, you will be able to view the LAN settings box.

    (4) check the box-"automatically detect settings" and then "uncheck" all the other boxes as "configuration Script auto use", "Use a proxy server," proxy server ", then click on the ok button."

    5) click on the "Network settings" button once again, make sure that "Automatically detect settings" is the only option you select, the window of properties of LAN so clear.


    Once you have deleted the file Opm.db and set the network settings to detect settings automatically, launch the Photoshop Elements Installer and try to enter the serial number and check.

    Always the same?

    Step 3:

    Go to C: Program (x 86) > Common Files > Adobe.

    Under Common Files > Adobe.

    If necessary remove Adobe Application Manager folder.

    Click on the link below and download Adobe Application manager and install the same:

    http://download.adobe.com/pub/Adobe/creativesuite/CC/Win/ApplicationManager9.0_all.exe

    Once the installation is complete, look for the icon of Adobe Application Manager launch on desktop and double-click it.

    It will start the update process.

    Once finished, try to activate the serial number and check.

  • Re-install Windows 8 with AxshunJaxun Guide, Windows activation?

    In his pinned post, AxshunJaxun explains how to reinstall some ISOs Windwows they provide, and then how to download the necessary drivers and software.

    However, how can I activate Windows with this guide?  The links are to test Windows 8.  Any help?

    It works!

    Important note: for some reason, the Windows Setup Manager, when you partition my drive, said that Windows could not be installed on the 1 and only hard drive in the computer.  Confused, I clicked next anyway, and he succeeded.

    However, I had to torrent the file .iso image, instead of download from Google Drive.  I would like to remind everyone that simply by downloading the .iso image file is not illegal, and this download from a single source is not different from that of the other, as long as you ensure that it is not.

  • Question 8 Windows Activation

    So Lenovo think that my hard drive was not on my G500. They send me a hard drive and 4 Lenovo recovery disks. I install everything correctly and I get an error of activation of Windows.

    I called Lenovo and they check that the o/s and the hard drive are installed correctly. However, they say that they cannot give me a license key and I need to ship my Lenovo laptop so they can install a license key. Does make sense?

    Windows activation error code is 0xC004C003.

    Now, what's interesting is that when the rep took control away from my machine, I saw, it was registered under the email address of my son and not mine (I got mine when I made the connection after reinstalling) and I have no idea how and why it shows the address of my son.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
