• I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 last week. I reinstalled Microsoft Office Standard 2007, but the website says that my product key is not valid.

  The software was initially loaded on the computer that has been upgraded.  The upgrade would not work, so the technician needed to install the full version of Windows 7.  When I try to install Office 2007 Standard, the registration Web site says that the product key is not valid. The software can be loaded on three computers (that took place), but a computer is the computer I want to re - install the program on.

  Use the phone activation option and speak to an operator.

• I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked,

  I had to perform a clean install of Win7 Ultimate on Win7Pro, which recorded data may in a window.old directory.   When I installed Win 7 Ultimate, it would install with Win 7 Pro installed, so I've had to do a clean install which has formatted the hard drive.

  I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate with the product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked and I cannot activate my installation of Win 7 Ultimate.  What are the options?
  One of the solutions is to re - install the original program, Win 7 Pro and then re install Win 7 Ultimate.
  It seems like a repeat of the whole process that I just finished.

• My Halo CE says that my product key is not valid after I have install and update the game.

  I install my copy of Halo CE on my computer. I enter the product key and accept the key. I update my game and everything is still fine then. After that I restarted the game as required, he said that my product key is not valid. I do not understand why he said it. I know that it is valid. I used the said product key to unlock the Halo Reach for this Halo nameplate on the site Web of Bungie. I'm not sure why this is happening. In addition, this product key is not the key supplied with the disc. I lost my old drive and had to borrow one from a friend.

  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.

  I have had my computer for 3 years, just he lit after getting back from vacation and it says that my Windows Vista product key is not valid and don't allow me to the computer, with him giving options such as 'try a different product key' or 'buy new '. Windows is already installed on the computer, what do I do because it's not my fault he can't choose the product key to the top. Any help would be appreciated.
  Thank you

  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.

  If the problem is you do not have or know the product key, post back because that is a different problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
