  In order to transfer the upgrade of Windows 8 on a computer without an operating system eligible, you must first install a full version of the license Windows on the computer (XP, Vista, Windows 7) then you can use the upgrade to this topic

  If you do not have a full version of Windows license, you must purchase a license of full version Windows 8.

  There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

• Re: Windows/Linux VM licensing

  Hello guys

  How the virtual machine works in the license vmware environment.

  Windows will provide (sell to businesses), a unique license key (OEM) and he'll tell you can deploy 300 machines windows with this license for verisons them of Windows 2008 std, 2008 r2, 2008 Ent, 2008, Datacenter Edition. It has the be instances of machines.

  Is - it how the works of each virtual machine license or licenses is tied to the ESX Host(say on this ESX host u can deploy only certain number of 2008 Machines)?

  Also u can tell me how works the license LINUX ENT?

  Thank you

  For SUSE, it's pretty simple. You need SLES license for each virtual server is running a VM engine SLES on. You can buy directly from SUSE or VMware (http://www.vmware.com/products/sles-for-vmware/overview.html). Beware, there are different prices for servers with and without virtualization running on them.

  A more information at SUSA, is that you are allowed to use the SLES on your system under the following conditions:

  • Qualified owner and active vSphere SnS contracts.
  • Run of U2's VMware ESX 4.0 hosts and more
  • Have an active VMware vSphere Support and subscription (SnS) contract

  Here is a link to the conditions: http://www.vmware.com/products/sles-for-vmware/get.html#c207168

  For RedHat, it's a little more complicated. At present, there are three types: 2 Sockets with 1 virtual guest, 2 Sockets with 4 guests virtual and 2 Sockets with unlimited virtual guest. Do you have you own enough licenses for the virtual and taken of current guests for your environment with a few exceptions. The best is, if you look at this PDF file, it should cover all your questions: http://www.redhat.com/summit/2011/presentations/summit/whats_new/friday/riveros_f_1100_choosing_the_right_subscription.pdf

  Oracle Solaris is fairly easy to understand but may be expensive. You must allow all of the cluster where you run any solaris oracle VM on.

  Please return my information with your local dealer, because I am just an admin and no specialist license.

• Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

  I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

  Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

  Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

  Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

  What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

  The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

  This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

  Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

  How to: perform a customized Windows installation

• Windows 7-three license user. 1 computer fails WGA - 2 pass!

  I bought a license update 3 reviews of Window 7 Ultimate from Amazon in Nov 09.  It has been installed sucsessfully on three computers and worked well since then. Last week, one of the computers booted up and began to give @you may be victim of software Couterfeit' warnings and fails the WGA to test.  Two other computers that also had continuous regular updates to spend.  I was not able to contact the seller through Amazon Market place. Looking carefully at the disc and support box etc, it seems that this drive was supposed to be an OEM system, as there is no COA with it (I don't know if 3 user license come with 3 modes of action) and the product key is xxxx. OEM... XXXX the middle of it.  After paying a meaningful of oney aount, I am at a loss what to do next. Can anyone help?  If it's wrong I'm more than happy to report it to help prevent what happens once again, but I need to solve this problem.  When I tried ringing Microsoft, represntative phone not even help as all he kept saying: ' you must buy genuie ' ust buy you genuine, which is exactly what I thought, I did...  Help!

  Unfortunately, your copy of Windows 7 Ultimate is a counterfeit.  This is a pirated version of an OEM copy, which includes an exploit to illegally bypass product activation.  I suggest that you contact the seller and ask for a 100% refund.

  For you non-genuine problem, you will need to purchase an authentic edition "full version" of Windows 7 for each computer and perform a "clean installation" complete.  You can acquire genuine Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store.

  BTW, there was never any version 3 legitimate user of Windows 7 Ultimate license.  Your seller apparently invented this story to get you to buy its fraudulent goods.

• After upgrading my OEM of Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro license, can I switch my license of windows 8 to a new pc?

  IF I upgrade my license OEM windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, can I transfer my windows 8 pro license to new PC?

  If I need to re - install windows I have to install my copy of Windows 7 oem first and then install the upgrade of windows 8?

  I thought that the new license windows 8 would take the place of the old 7 oem?

  Well, it does, but you are moving elsewhere, but you cannot benefit from rights eligible OEM Windows 7 license to another machine, because the OEM for Windows 7 license was already tied to the first machine that it has been installed on.

  The machine that you transfer the Windows 8 license must have a previous qualification license (XP, Vista, Windows 7, or even Windows 7).

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  I can active Windows 7 Pro license in the Windows XP operating system? Or do I need key separate license for Downgrade Windows 7 to Windows XP? I have Windows 7 Pro OEM version with license. I can downgrade to Windows XP with the Windows 7 disc and the license.

  Masud

  Because it's a downgrade, you can only use one version at a time. So if you are downgrading to Windows XP, you can have that version installed on this machine. (That is if you buy an OEM which entitles demotion). If you buy your own commercial version full Windows XP license, you can run Windows XP and Windows 7 at the same time in dual-boot.

  If you run Windows 7 and Windows XP at the same time, why not use the free Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode available for Windows 7 Professional customers?

  Also, Windows XP Mode includes a full license of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

  If you need to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP OEM System Builder, you will need to provide your own license.

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...

  First of all, you can follow the article: connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications which help to deactivate the license of the existing computer. Once this is done, then you can follow the article: download and install Adobe Creative Cloud apps that will help you to install the application on your second machine.
