View 2 Replies View RelatedUpgrade From XP Corporate License
Mar 1, 2010Just wondering how this is going to go. Right now my comp is running XP Pro which i obtained from my IT department. Im a federal employee so the disc i have is a federal corporate license. Today i purchased W7 Pro and a new 1Tb hard drive. Im goint to make my old hard drive backup storage and put the W7 OS on the new drive. Whats the best way to go about it?
When i install the new hard drive and boot from the W7 disc is it just going to prompt me to put in the XP disc? Or does it just ask for a valid XP license key? Everytime i have installed this XP on a new comp it never asks me for a CD key...i think it has something to do with the fact it is a government license and is unlimited regarding the number of comps it can be put on. If i need a key i guess ill have to wait till i get back to work and get one from the IT department.

Can't Use An OEM License For Personal Use
Apr 28, 2012A recent thread on Sevenforums got me thinking. Why does Microsoft say in their license terms that you can't use an OEM license for personal use, but they sell it through third parties (Amazon and Newegg) and they know that ordinary people are going to buy these OEM copies. If Windows Activation goes through with it then it must be fine, right?Also, I kind of mentioned this already, but why would they sell it through third parties if they CLEARLY know that any average personcould come across it and buy it. It doesn't say anywhere on Amazon's product description page that I have to sell it to a third party.

Mar 18, 2011I have a old license key I want to remove from the registry but I don't know how to find it. This isn't the OS key, it's just for an old software program. I installed a different version of the program and it has a different key, but the two have become intertwined. Now the other program won't work the way it's supposed to because the other version had features this one doesn't.

Feb 27, 2012Now first off, I would like to make myself clear; I am not attempting to break any laws/rules, I am attempting to find out the rules so as NOT to break them. My question is this: If I make a virtual machine of Windows 7 with 5 users, on a Linux server, and have 5 Linux machines hooked to it, would I be breaking any MS licensing laws if each "Windows user" accessed that Virtual machine from their Linux machine? And to be honest I'm not even certain the Virtual machines can be accessed this way or if they have to reside on the actual Linux client
View 2 Replies View RelatedTransfer Of Windows 7 License Between PCs
Sep 9, 2010I bought the retail version of Win 7 Home Premium when it came out, and put it on my laptop.I'm now building a PC for my parents, and I was thinking about transferring the Win 7 install to the new PC.I still have the Vista for my laptop that it came with, but would probably want to keep Win 7 on it until i'm happy that the PC is working ok.Having never transferred licences between PCs? Will the two versions run concurrently (I know its a license for one, but i'd like to know what happens!) or will the 'old' version stop working correctly?

May 17, 2012I bought Company Of Heroes a few days ago. Just tried to install it now but in that section I must enter the license code from the back of the booklet it tells me that my license code is invalid. The case was still sealed when I bought it.
PS: I took a photo of the screen showing the entered license code, the code on the booklet and the error message.
Office 07 Usable Without License Key?
Jan 27, 2012I just got a distressed Windows 7 unit that has Office 07 Home and Student installed on it. I'm trying to figure out exactly where I stand with MS on this. Everything functions perfectly, except every time an Office app is fired up it requests the license key. But the key is not necessary to run the program, and it will allow you to proceed without the key after a few nuisance screens.I would think that either the installation is valid or not. I don't have a key, so I'm stuck where it is for now, but I'd like to understand what's going on.

Jul 1, 2011I recently about two weeks ago upgrade from an i3 530 and msi p55a-g55 to an i5 2500k and msi p67a-gd65 and if it's relevant, I changed my graphics card from a 5750 to 560 ti. I had the OEM version of Windows 7 home premium and had heard I'd end up having to buy a new copy and also heard that with all the drivers for 7 that everything should work fine. Well, the day I swapped in the new parts, everything was just fine and I was asked to activate windows, I did, and everything was still okay. After a couple of days though some of my programs like superantispyware (just downloaded), starcraft II, and gamespy comrade won't open. Trend Micro says there's no virus yet I can't for the life of me get these programs to open and most of the time the computer just seems to be slow. I've tried to restore multiple times and te is going to fix my problem. Also, if I do have to reinstall Windows, do I have to back up my entire HDD or can I back up just my school files and my games since those are the only two things that I use my computer for?
