You must activate Windows to continue

I just bought an Acer Aspire with Windows 8 on it. Everything set up well and works fine, but I wanted to remove the password lock screen. Should be good enough, but every time in the setting menu when I click on "lock screen" so I can go and turn the password off the coast it is said "you must first activate Windows" then I'm going to "activate Windows" in the main configuration menu and click on it. He said: "You are activated" without any options to do something. So I will return to the lock screen, and he always says that I need to activate windows. Anyone has any idea why? Everything is enabled and works fine?

Thank you Andre actually I needed to restart my computer and it took the Activation and locked in all. Thank you

    You might be able to solve your immediate problem of the 30-day activation grace period has expired by resetting it. Follow these steps:

    1. If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, do.

    2. at the command prompt, type this command exactly (space, caps and comma are required):

    Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

    3. restart.

    If you did it, your activation grace period will have been reset, giving you more time to work on the problem.

    Once done, please post a MGADiag report...

  • How many times Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows

    As the questions indicates how many times you can activate Windows Vista Business? I would like to know because I had to activate Windows 3 - 4 times on a course of 3 days. Is there a limit to the number of times where Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows on the same computer with the same configuration?

    Thank you

    Hi Victor,

    The answer to your question would be both 'yes' and 'no '.

    IIRC, there is a limit on the number of times your license can be activated via the Internet.

    However, after the limit is reached, you can still call them for telephone activation.

    (You will have to wait before the automated voice system to reach a real person tho)

  • You must activate today

    I have an oem product which is a hp pavilion dv9000 series laptop computer entertainment. I use vista and win7 on this computer that is configured to dual boot. I decided to start the installation of vista and once I was in I was asked then to activate my product. I might add that I had not used the product Vista for about two weeks and that this problem had occurred once before.  After talking to hp support technician, I was told to reinstall my operating system. My question is this, what could be causing this to? I had never had this problem before my two os on this computer. When I decide to try to activate, I received a message that read the product key you entered is not valid, come on... This is an OEM installation. My computer skills are good enough to where I can solve most of the problems, I had to deal with. Now, that being said, maybe you can explain to me what is causing this glitch before I reinstall my os. Most computers weather, it is an OEM product or one that was bought as a project at home using a purchased Windows installation disc, must be able to endure a time of system dual boot using cmd promt to configure the boot order or a third-party boot order design like Acronis without having this type of problem. Thank you for your help in this matter.

    Donald Jones,

    I get their hands on Microsoft the first time I had the problem, and their comeback was that some the same as yours except they said that HP had to help me it was an oem product and it was out of their hands. I say this, hp told me to reinstall my operating system which has worked so far. What he has done by reinstalling the system was reactivated as if it was installed for the first time. In any case, thanks for your comments.

  • Activation problem of license after you have reinstalled Windows of Geek Squad

    I had a massive virus and went to Geek Squad to the wipe/rebuild the computer.  The new Vista now asks me to activate windows, but I don't have the product keys.  Can you help me with either a general product key or let me know what I need to fix this problem.  Whenever the computer is on he asks me to activate windows.

    Hi ChannelPro11,

    You are asked to provide a product key? If the windows are simply say you must activate windows then just click the icon to activate, select this option to activate via the internet and the system must activate. If, on the other hand, a message comes up saying 'key product already in use', this means that you have already activated using this key and activate this time, you need to call the Windows activation line - see this link from my Web site:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    If, however, you are prompted to enter a product key, then the key must be to the rear of the PC or the bottom if it's a laptop. If you still can not find, or the number based on the PC does not return to the Geek Squad and tell them to sort out the problem for you. They fixed it so it should be in full working condition when you get back. And I mean 'complete order' with a full copy enabled operating system. You took it to repair a copy fully activated in Windows, so you expect him back with a fully enabled (and of course functional) copy of the operating system.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • I get this pop-up saying "let's activate Windows".

    Maximum pop here at startup and as a reminder on the toolbar. He said that the goal is to reduce software piracy. It is said that after three days, I must activate Windows before I can continue using it. It gives me three options: 1) activate it now on internet, 2) speak to a representative telephone, 3) No, remind me every day. It is a true Windows application or is it a hoax?

    It is probably authentic.  If you recently changed hardware components of the computer, it may appear to a new computer that requires activation.  The article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base How to activate Windows XP describes the process.
