product key
HELP, I recently changed my motherboard in my dell 490 accuracy now my windows activation is indicating that I need to activate my product key. I have been using this product key for now.need some time to get this problem is resolved.
Hello
You cannot change your motherboard without the approval and assistance from Dell
read this:
If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer
an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life
When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you
If you did this Dell wihtout support and approval, you have cancelled your vista license

Windows 10 Reset, need to enter new product key?
Hello
I got a HP ENVY m6 (if it matters) and has recently decided to do a reset on my laptop. When I first got the laptop it was running Windows 8, which I then upgraded to Windows 10. After rebooting, my laptop is back to Windows 8, which is not a problem but it asks me to activate windows by entering a new product key. I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 once again, but the installation will not continue without me activate windows.
I get the error code is 0xC004C003 and he says: "the activation server determined that the specified product key has been blocked. Why windows ask for another product key after than a simple reset?
Any help is appreciated as I am dumbfound massively and lost on this issue.
Thank you

Install Windows 10 Pro lowered home (with no product key) after expenses.
Received my Lenovo ThinkPad 11th yesterday and after much research, I decided to do a clean install. It came with WIndows 10 Pro and I checked the settings (that I created my Windows account at the same time) and he said that it has been activated using Windows. According to the instructions of Microsoft (and various YouTube videos, I've looked), once a machine is activated, it would automatically update the product key, so no need to find.
That is the problem. I had installed 10 Windows on a USB key and the installation went well, or so I thought. I checked the settings after installing different programs that I would use as he said that I need activate Windows. Well, checking settings, he lowered me 10 Windows Home and of course the the product key in the system (if it's still there) that is the error I get is not valid.
Of course, it is not a product key on the bottom of the computer and there is nothing in the box. How can I get my product key back so that I can install Pro back?
Using ProduKey, I get two different keys. One for the new Home edition and the other for the OEM Bios. I guess that I need reintsall (new) and use the key in BIOS Yes?
So guess what? He's back for Pro and it is activated!
I think what happened is that I downloaded the single language version and that's what he screwed up. I just redownloaded windows 10 (first on the menu drop-down) and he installed Pro and activated.
Creating new media doesn't let you choose, he will choose for you based on your product key from the system.
Thanks for your help.

Downgrade from Windows 10 in order ot activate the product key
I tried to update to Windows 10 on my new T450s. However, I made this from a USB key, I used on my other computers. So I wiped the passage of Windows 7 to the reader directly, without the activation key for product to be upgraded. My problem now is either setting so I can activate Windows 10 or demote. I tried both without success. I can't get the part of Lenovo Recovery from my hard drive I downgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1. I can not press F11, I can't go up to him and I can't run any software from Lenovo or to access in Windows 10. I would really appreciate some help and suggestions! Thank you

I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6. Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key. Any ideas would be appreciated
Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key. 1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key. Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

Can I download a copy of Windows XP and allows to activate my product license
I have a Dell Precision 380 opportunity with Windows XP Professional, which was already installed. I have produced key but no disc and can not get windows to run right or internet page explore wants same load. I can download a copy of Windows XP and allows to activate my product license (I need to read the original CD and not any copy)? If not, can I use to reinstall an authentic copy of Windows XP (since I was a valid product license) without having to buy a new version of Windows?
No, it is not downloadable.
The person who gave you the PC should have provided the disk. Otherwise, you're out of luck, unless you know somone who has the same version of the OEM Dell software that you can borrow. -
Since the last automatic update from Microsoft, I get the message on Outlook & Excel I need to activate the product. When I try to activate I tells me it is already activated, they have been running fine since 2001 when the Office Proffesional was legally purchased.
The pop-up with activation message has two buttons, "Remind me later" and the button "more..." which seems to send me around in circles when it is followed.Hi Dudlion,

If you get this message before you try to turn it on, it means generally that you must not read or wrong entered the key.
Use a magnifying glass and a bright light to read the key (or ask someone else to read it for you)
In particular check the characters B/8 and G/C/Q.
