"Windows vista home premium product key is invalid for activation?

Dell XPS M1330
Vista Windows

I installed the updates that were needed on my laptop through windows onecare, once the phone has restarted, it came with a box saying "the windows vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation" options to solve this problem are the following:

Access your computer with reduced functionality - this option logs not me in all takes me on the website of windows and asks me to buy new vista
OR
Type a different product key - this option only allow me to enter some characters of my product key.
OR
Contact dell to help solve this problem

The laptop will now only let me use the laptop internet for searching the help/customer support. I tried manually stop, however at startup comes once again with the same error. I don't know how to fix this problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I TRIED AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK...

    Original title: help with error message... Please...!

    I use a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6202.uk with Windows Vista Home Premium & Microsoft Office 2003.  When I am back from vacation & turned on my PC, my password was OK, but rather to raise Windows, I received the following message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation.  He then listed the following options: "access your computer with reduced functionality (this will allow you to buy a product online key)" or "Type a different product key" or "contact HP to help solve this problem."

    I have no idea what a product key is and don't have anything either in the type comes to connect as usual.  I can't access anything to be same to reduced functionality.  I can not type in a new product key because I did not.  I can not contact HP - phone number does not... !!

    I'm quite desperate, I travel docs to print and e-mail to answer and I don't have any idea what is happening.  Please can someone help with this not very IT clued-up DTP...!

    Moved from Vista programs Forum.

    You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover.  I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it.  If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

  • How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?

    My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050.  Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid.  Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk.  What can I do?

    The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key.  This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system.  The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.

    If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium product key Invaild for this activation.

    After a recent windows update I get this message to appear on things by saying the my product key is invaild. I have had this pc for a few years now and never had this problem. I do not know the product key, I bought my PC at Staples, and everything has been put in place in the store I don't even have my OS CD. I'm still not sure why its prompting me to do this now after all this time my essential security gave me 30 days until it stops. Any way to solve this problem without the product key or am I out of luck here?

    System: Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop PC.

    Shadyguy04, welcome to the forum.

    I suggest to contact Microsoft customer support Service.  They will have the product key needed to solve your problem.  All they need to do is determine that yours is a valid copy of Windows.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium product key

    Hello!

    I need a Windows 7 Home Premium product key and I can't find a link to buy one on the website that all the posts I see on it is from the victory before 10 days. I have an OEM drive that is installed on another computer, but instead to wait 2 days to get a new disk key / Amazon, I was hoping there was a way to purchase JUST the key on the website somewhere.

    Thank you!

    Get the product Amazon OEM (stay away from eBay, too many pirates), take the wait and play safe!

    Make sure you buy the media AND key, make sure it's the correct bit (32 or 64 bit) and purchased Amazon media can perform the installation.

  • On the Windows 7 Home Premium product key

    Hi, I'm America Reef

    I am just concerned about the Windows 7 Home Premium product key,

    "You see I wanted to do a new Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop, my neighbor had a copy of the OS installation disc, but I don't know it would be illegal to install it on my computer because it is already used or installed, as well as Microsoft only limit to a" a computer, an Installation "policy.

    Is the Question that I would ask, if I'm using Installation disc for Windows 7 Home Premium my neighbor and it has its own product key, but I already had my own product key which is authentic, because it came with my before buying computer, think you that I have to use my OWN KEY or PRODUCT KEY TO THE installation DISK which I borrowed a neighbour of mine?

    ALWAYS use the key that belongs with the machine being installed.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium product key, in that you typed is invalid for activation

    Hello. I moved my hard disk on a new computer and installed windows 7 Home premium on a new SSD. I used my windows of my original HARD drive key to activate a new. My system control panel tells me that just 26 days to activate windows, but also said that my key is not valid, as indicated in the title. I can't switch to boot from my old HHD because it gives a blue screen and immediately shit down when he's on the windows splash screen. I am only trying to activate my new windows correctly any help would be appreciated.

    Windows was preinstalled on the other HARD drive, which was originally in a desktop computer I bought 5 years ago. I'm not sure where the COA is, but if it was on the sticker on the side of the casing of the original computer, it has worn long. The original computer was a Compaq, that would help me locate this COST?

    Hello

    As the HP Compaq computer laptop/computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    See you soon.

  • Windows Vista says that my product key is invalid for activation.

    I bought a dell Inspiron on 2007. He died this year and I bought a used machine, using the memory of the dead dell printer. I installed Vista on my disk and now recieveda message on my screen saying my code is invalid for activation! It's probably my drive. What they are up to?

    original title: not valid?

    Dell you provided with what we call an OEM of Windows version. OEM versions are related to the computer first it is installed on and can not be moved / installed on another computer.

    You need to buy a 'Full' version retail of windows (if the computer that you want to use never had an earlier version of Windows AND valid a certificate of authenticity).

    You can use an 'Upgrade' of Windows Vista (or Windows 7) retail version if Windows XP or Vista has been installed and you have always a product key and the COA.

  • I have lost/misplaced my Windows 7 Home Premium product key

    HELLO ALL, I NEED A PRODUCT KEY TO ACTIVATE MY WINDOWS, I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD FROM THE NET... I SEEM TO HAVE LOST / MISPLACED IT, PLEASE HELP... WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM

    Microsoft recommends that you only purchase a new license if you have lost your product key.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • Buy Windows 7 Home Premium product key.

    OT: Product key for Windows 7.

    Hello

    I have the iso file of Windows 7 Home Premium. Where to buy a key legitimate online?

    TNX

    Legitimate retailers do not sell a product on its own key. Commercial version are sold in a box that includes 2 (32-bit and 64-bit) installation DVD and a card inside the box plastic that has the product key.

    Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft for this purpose the prices are extremely high and some sellers are doubtful, especially if the price is too good to be true.

    Suggest you check Amazon and Newegg
