  • activation of Windows 8 after clean installation does not accept the product key

    Hi all

    I had a system to dual-boot with windows 8 and Ubuntu and tried to delete the Ubuntu but the computer does not start, I tried to fix the mbr and were wrong.

    I then did a clean install of windows 8, but will not accept my product key. Before the clean install, I formatted the hard drive.

    I can do or do I have to buy another windows 8 pro?

    concerning

    Geoff Woods

    Unless you have purchased the version System Builder DVD Win 8, you bought an upgrade.

    You must install the operating system you upgraded and then re-upgrade using your Installer to win 8 and PK.
  • The copy of Windows Vista is not genuine and will not accept the product key.

    Original title: my copy of Vista has just decided that it is more authentic and does not accept my product key. Why?

    Can you re - activate my product key or simply give me a product that works properly & constantly?

    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, repost on the Forum of real advantage to:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads.

  • Reinstalled windows (Vista Home Premium upgrade), will not let me activate

    I had to reformat/reinstall windows on my Vista Home premium computer, but now when I try to activate, I get an error indicating that the upgrade cannot be used for clean installation. That's fine, because I know that the activation of the phone will operate, but I can't find a phone number for the activation of the phone. When I do the slui.exe 4, he'll need just to options where it asks me to put in the code, then gives me just the error message. He will never give me the option for the offline or activation of the phone (I even tried to unplug my internet). I'm looking for a phone number to get it activated...

    The best thing for you to do is repeat the installation, this time as an upgrade of the current, ensuring that you enter the key on request the installation - it should then accept and activate normally.

  • Uploaded image of Windows 7 Professional will not accept the product key that came with my computer.

    I have a Dell laptop, Studio, approximately 1 year, delivered with Windows 7 Professional installed - the label with the genuine product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. Shortly after I got it I deleted the recovery partition to make room for Linux installed next to Windows. I had problems with Windows system (mainly caused by me bad installation software and drivers without proper backups) so I decided to reinstall Windows. I had already deleted the recovery partition and wouldn't use it anyway because I prefer a clean system without unwanted from the manufacturer in this regard. I did not receive a Windows operating system installation DVD with my computer, so I downloaded a (64-bit Windows 7 Professional, the same as the original operating system) which already had SP1 on it (the version of Win7Pro installed Dell's not SP1). I installed Windows on this drive and attempted to activate using the product key that came with my computer, but it would not accept the key. I don't have time to try to solve this problem, but now the period of one month is up and my computer does not work correctly.
    I suspect that the problem may be due to me using the SP1 disc. If this is the case, should I reinstall Windows again? I have * NOT * GOING to buy another product key when I have already paid for a genuine version of Windows. I just want to be able to use my computer without the ridiculous slowdowns caused by pre-installed software and the way I chose.

    Thanks for any help with this problem, I really need fo fix my computer.

    original title: Activation error, Windows 7 Professional
    Windows product key: *-* - M3DJT - 4J3WC-733WD
    Windows license Type: OEM SLP

    The key to your report is your OEM SLP key which can not be activated. This isn't the key to COA.

    but the key I tried to use is what I copied on the COA the day I got the computer of the book where I put all the information on my computers.

    Is the product key in your book is the partial key in your report?
    You must change the product key to the one on your COA.
    Check your compartment of the COA.
    The other solution is to reinstall your Dell OEM recovery disks or recovery partition. This self will activate your computer.
    Additional information:

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

    (B) COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  • Windows XP Setup will not accept my product key

    I am re-installing ona XP laptop, but the installation of Windows XP will not accept my product key. I have an OEM of a Dell PC product key that is no longer functional, and a update product key which is not null else, neither of which works.

    I can't even do the installation to achieve the activation step.

    Link to the entire conversation:
     
    Huh?
    • You have a Dell system, and with this Dell, you have a product key for Windows XP (edition?) - it would be an OEM key be used with an OEM installation CD.
    • You seemed to have bought (where?) a copy of "Retail" / license for Windows XP (edition?) - which would have its own retail product key to be used with a retail installation CD.
    What does not work:
    • using the CD to retail with the product key OEM on Dell machine sticker
    • by using the product key from retail with OEM installation media which might come with the Dell printer
    • have an installation CD OEM with an edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc.) and you try to use the product key OEM for another edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc) (editions must match, House can is complicated in this grouping too.)
    • have an installation CD retail with an edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc.) and you try to use the product key from retail sales to another edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc) (editions must match, House can is complicated in this grouping too.)
    So is that what you are trying to do?  Why did you buy the CD/product key for sale at retail and the editions correspond?
     
    If you're not at the point where you will have to enter the product key - why do you think that the product key is the question? Hah

    Hello

    1 - do you mean that you get the green screen even in safe mode?

    2 did you recent hardware or software changes to your computer before this problem?

    If you are unable to start desktop even in safe mode, then you try to perform the verification and startup repair.

  • 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.

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    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.

  • MS Office does not accept the product key and does not leave my type anything on Word documents

I entered the 25-digit product key, that she had asked because I found on the label on the back of my lap top and every time I entered the code, he said that it was not valid. I double checked to make sure that I typed the numbers in the right order several times and it still does not accept it! I'm in the product key? I also tried the product ID and that no longer works.
