Installation Can Not Activated Key Product
Jun 7, 2009
My computer told said that Vista wasn't activated and that it had to be in 30 days. I purchased this computer with Vista installed, so I went to the side of my tower and checked the product key and tried activating it. For some reason it said it's already in use. So then I tried the Phone Activation and went through all the procedures and it's been activated. What I don't get is why wouldn't it let me activate online, but let me by phone? Was my key being used by another person or was it hacked? Luckily I didn't have to blow $150.00 for nothing.

My new HP laptop came with Vista installed. Everytime I open Word it is asking for a registration key. There was nothing provided with the computer.

i think my office 07 install just went into "Compatibility mode" because the cd key was not activated, however, i dont see, nor is it asking to activate or provide the key? The icons in the taskbar, desktop, anywhere are all blank now, and documents that opened word, open it, but in compatibility mode.

Long story short, last year I built a new machine and bought a copy of vista home premium 32x (OEM / system builders). Now I want to upgrade to the 64x to take advantage of 8gb of ram - the system is 64x compatable. I've tried microsoft's alternative media request but apparently it will only accept a product key from a retail (not OEM) product key. So here's my question, assuming I can find away to get the 64x version of vista, can I use my already activated OEM 32x key to activate the 64x, in which case the 32x would no longer be in use? I've heard of people using the 32x key to activate but so far only in cases where the 32x hasn't already been activated. Basically I'm trying to avoid having to repurchase vista, just to use the 64 bit version.

i have dual boot of vista&windows 7 on the same HDD but in different partitions. i've tries to install SP2 for vista and after reseting vista became not activated. so i did a system restore and i have now vista SP1 but also not activated. i had activate vista once before i installed windows 7, but now when i try to activate vista again it seems that something is going wrong in the bcd. i cant boot into either vista nor windows 7.
when i look at the bcdedit in the repair of vista, i see that the device partition and osdevice partition exchanged. the vista partition is now 7 and the opposite. i fixed it but the vista is still not activated. i've tried many vista activators..

I want to give a clone of my system (Ultimate) to colleagues with very similar hardware. If they get convinced, they would buy license keys of their own. As long as they test it, they should not run it with my license, but as a 30 days trial. Of course, my Vista is already activated. So, how can I turn its image back into an unactivatedtrial? (A clean install is no option for my colleagues, since I installed applications, drivers, tweaks and hacks, which only make the value of this particular installation.).

Got a laptop that, when a user logs in the following message is displayed and the system logs off again "Windows can not log on because you have not activated your copy of windows Error Code 0XC004F028 Software Licensing Service reported that the policy cache is invalid" Given that I cant login to activate vista is there any suggestions. To make matters worse the cd drive has set to second boot device, F12 function has been disabled and Bios has been locked.... and yes you huessed it they dont know the password for BIOS

I recently tried to add another hard drive (IDE) to my pc running Vista Business but the moment i logged onto windows after adding the hard drive, i got a message saying windows de-activated due to hardware changes. I then uinstalled the hard drive and windows was back in its activated state. From what i know adding a hard drive is not really a big hardware change. Can some one please tell me what hardware changes vista considers significant enough to deactivate? Vista did not come with my pc, I got it seperately.......

I am trying to clean install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. If you read my other post, I got around the blue screen about page in non paged area. I got the bad ram stick out and got a new one for my computer. (Toshiba Satillite). And I install it and it goes good until completing installation then it hangs.

I had bought an HP 2133 when I was in Bahrain. When I first started up the computer, Vista Business started installing, probably from the Recovery partition. Anyway, I am in Turkey now and I upgraded mh harddisk and wanted to install Vista Business on the new harddisk. Underneath my computer there is an original Microsoft sticker for the product Key. During the Vista installation I typed this key but received an error message that the key cannot be validated. The key starts with J4CQ3- What might be the reason? What is the solution? I want to use my original Vista Product Key.

I have bought windows vista ultimate and the origin of it is Ireland. Since my laptop was manufactured in the UK will this affect the working of the product? I assumed it would work ok but someone brought the subject up and I'd thought I'd check before I open the package up!

Don't feel like typing in your product key before installing Windows Vista? It is now possible to install any version of Windows Vista and use it for 14 days before having to enter a product key and activating it.
While on the product key screen during install, just hit the Next button. You will be presented with a new screen ....

Though we have got free software which can let us view the product key in Vista;
Is there a way to view the product key within vista? For Ex: Inside any registry key
or in any system file?
Where is the product key located in the OS?
