Windows Vista does not recognize the product key

Purchased new Dell computer Dell a year ago, he a Vista Ultimate installed at Dell.

My hard deive badly shot, replaced the hard drive, I reinstalled Vista Ultimate Edition, using the Dell product key when it is installed by Dell, number on the back of the CPU, key # * used DVD Resteratiom work, also I tried was packed with the computer that is the key # * also will not work.

PLEASE HELP, HE SAID: THIS ISN'T A WINDOWS AUTHANTIC PROGRAM, BUT IT IS... WANT TO RECEIVE A KEY # WORK, THE FIGURES ARE CORRECT, AS I'VE DONE 4 TIMES, HAD SOMEONE ELSE READ THE NUMBERS. IT IS ON THE SAME COMPUTER SENT FROM DELL.

If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

To solve the real problem (if there is still a problem after activation), repost on the Forum of real advantage to:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Reinstall Windows 7 does not accept the product key

    Just bought a new PC to replace my crashed. Install Windows 7 from the DVD I got for my old PC. It does not accept the product key. Think it's because it was a copy of Windows 7 upgrade. What can I do about this that I can't downgrade to Windows XP. I have the original and the product key for Windows XP disks.

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    UPDATE (04/03/2010):
    I have more information, I hope this helps to reach a solution.

    -J' repeated the steps above 1 to 3, with open Device Manager.  In step 3, in the Device Manager window, the icon for the question USB mass storage device becomes the exclamation point in yellow triangle icon.  Check its properties on the tab "General", in the "Device status" box, it says: "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been established for"safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)  IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it.  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
    -J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
