• 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.

• Try to get an install Image, but she says that my product key is not valid

  Hi all!

  Recently I just tried to install Windows on a Mac and when I try to get an install Image it says: "invalid product key".

  I do not understand why this happens upwards I'm getting the key to product directly out of the back of a laptop computer, the only problem is that I don't know what OS it is.

  Any help on this is appreciated!

  Also, I am turning the question on my Mac is because the laptop does not work, I have another that I could try to use!

  Thank you!

  ~ indy

  You can't use a mac on windows key and you cannot use a key off a lapot broken to activate windows on a mac.  You need a valid windows key for your operating system.  What OS are you trying to install?  How are you trying to install?

One of my reinstallation cd told me that my product key is not valid... What do I do... i tried to call the phone numbers given on the Web site, but no one answers me.

  Help! 

  Hi el_gwapa,

  If you use a relocation of the disc from the manufacturer of the computer, then you may need to contact the manufacturer and see if you can get a product key.

  Also check the following links to get a new product key for Microsoft:

  to restart my macbook air early 2015 in windows 8.1 to begin the installation it tells me that usb drivers could not be found, what should I do?

  It downloads everything and restarts in windows 8.1, then when I click on install now a message pops up saying that miss me the disk drivers important that I don't know what to do

  This is an incorrect error message. Please post the exact error message or a screenshot of the error, if possible.

• Re-install Windows 8 pro on PC, how many times before that the product key is not valid?

  Due to problems with Windows Update, and more specifically by using the 8.1 free update, I had some problems and have re-isntalled twice now on this PC.

  You install previous motherboard no re-day after the first installation.

  First install on the replacement motherboard activated via telephone due to the new material.

  2 more reinstall without a phone on the same PC.

  The general consensus is that, once you get to the installation of 5th Activation of the phone is necessary.

  How many times before that the product key is not valid?

  I only ask that the errors are related to data that is not stored on my PC.  and given that Windows 8 is nowhere near the performance and stabilty before I used the App store update I have to reinstall until it's resolved.

  Required to reactivate by phone after the 5th reinstalled only happen based on the license.

  If you make significant changes with a license pre-installed as a motherboard, then you will not be able to use the phone or Internet activation.
