Windows still ask for activation after that laptop was RMA would be

My laptop has been recently would be RMA and they replaced the motherboard, keyboard and VGA card. Shortly after receiving this return, Windows began to ask for an activation code. Unfortunately, I didn't write mine down, and the sticker is now faded and illegible. I sent my new laptop because that's what the OEM has asked that I do and they replaced my HARD drive and installed Vista fresh. It does not solve the problem at all.

Without my original activation code, I don't think I can reactivate Windows. Is there anyway to recover my product key or how to contact Microsoft to get a new one? Because it seems that through my OEM drives me nowhere as they want me to RMA again.

If your Vista operating system was running, and enabled, we could have helped you recover your product key.
Unfortunately, this does not apply.

I'm sorry, but we cannot help you, you don't have a legible label on your laptop...

It is the responsibility of the OEM to support you.

See you soon.

    Hello, Pichon,

    If Windows Vista application unexpected activation

    On rare occasions, you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer that did not previously require Windows Vista activation or has already been activated successfully. For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.

    If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:

    1. Click Start, and then click computer.
    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

    To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

    Prepare you this isn't the voice but the clientele of text, so very slow, it still took me an hour. I hope that you can reduce this time. I had to go through a supervisor, and even in this case, it is only after the declarant that would just contact business here in San Jose that it gives up and gave me an "authorization Code". Guess what everything works as before (at least what I used) and like you I did not need to buy a newer version. I kept the controller on the line during the authorization process. Windows 10 is an operating environment and should not have an effect on a program, I had the impression that they are looking at this as an opportunity to sell newer versions to those who previously purchased and have not upgraded.

    Good luck

  • CS6 and Premiere Elements continues to ask for activation

    Hello

    I am a system engineer in a school. We have a license to Site K12 for CS6 and we bought about 30 versions of single license of elements of Prime Minister through authorized dealers. I have deployed CS6 a few years ago on our old PC by installing the software on a single computer and cloning then the pc 30 times with CloneZilla. That has worked well.

    A year later, I repeated the procedure on the other 25 computers. No problem.

    Last summer, I did the same thing to replace 30 PCs that I had cloned the first time. Since then, I have to activate CS6, again and again once, which indicates a trial version. Also the other classrooms with 25 pc's started asking for activation after 2 years without worries.

    In October I installed Premiere Elements on each individual computer one by one. And that went well for a few months but then all of a sudden PE began to request activation. My colleagues make me crazy with their remarks and their concerns.

    So far, I have tried to activate CS6 by creating a file for serialization with the adobe application manager. When I run the file and restart the program I'm invited is no longer for activation... for a while.

    There is no way of knowing what device invites you at the moment. It is random. Sometimes it's just a camera, then all of a sudden there are 3-4.

    Help, please

  • Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer

    Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer. I have it ready for the operating system but I need to download a copy so I can retrieve my CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive, so I can then bring to its system and reinstall the XP and then if she wants that we can get a windows 8. I use windows 8 on this system, I bought a few months ago and it's satisfying, but I don't understand why when I got it I could do things like using the keyboard of the screen with my fingers, but now I can't even use the keyboard mouse. It won't work at all. In a way I found it better that way at the beginning because I do a lot of typing and it would freeze until I was constantly stressed. I returned to Windows 7 mode I think but not sure.  All I know is that these two things have never worked correctly, so if they are still under warranty I will bring to the Future Shop and maybe they can fix it. I wish I could turn on and off easily so it does not interfere with my writing and study of a language second.
