Tecra S1 - XP product key is not accepted

Dear All,
I have a Tecra S1 where the original hard disc has completely crashed. I put in this laptop a new hard disc and would like to instal windows again. Unfortunately I do not have the original windows CD that should be delivered with this laptop. Till now I have tried 3 setup CD's but all these CD's do not recognise the product key on the bottom of my laptop.
Does anyone know how to get a correct installation CD?
Does anyone know what to change to get the CD's I have here to accept the key on the bottom of my computer?
In advance thank you very much for your help
Martijn

Hi Martijn,
I think you mean the product key on bottom side of the notebook, right?
Well, this key doesnt work with normal Microsoft disks because its an OEM license key and belongs to preinstalled Windows version.
If you install Windows from a normal Microsoft disk you have to use the key that belongs to this disk!!!
You can also install Windows from Toshiba recovery disk but if you dont have such a disk ask your local service provider for that.

PRODUCT KEY NUMBERS NOT ACCEPTED ON INSTALL ELEMENTS 13

Purchased Adobephotoshop elements 13 premiere, from Amazon direct, not a sub seller, tried the number on the sticker attached to disc sleeve,8 digits ? tried all the numbers on back of case still no good, say's in the instruction book key should start with 1057, there is no numbers starting with this on mine, please help need this working asap thanks.

Matthewb66143624 I am showing that you have updated case 0214738832 with the proof of purchase.
You mentioned that you are purchasing through Amazon. Have you been in contact with the seller? If you are getting more than one package from them without a serial code then they should certainly be notified.
I would recommend purchasing Photoshop or Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe directly or an authorized reseller. You can find a list of Adobe Resellers at Find an Adobe reseller.

I looked at the summary log and that is the only error.
I made sure there were no other instances of SQL on this machine. Uninstalled all VS2013 and sql instances just in case. IF there is somewhere to check if a previous version or license is causing the issue, i would be glad to check.
Any help would be appreciated.

Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
services but instead I got cut off.
At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum. Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:

Have Windows OEM Product Key -but key is not accepted when Installing New Windows 8.1 Disk

I was able to secure the Product Key for what I thought was a Windows 8.1 OS on my Toshiba notebook. I believe my notebook ORIGINALLY had an OEM version of 8.0 (was pre-loaded when I bought the notebook) but at some point I updated the OS to 8.1. I
was able to verify that I was currently using 8.1 via the Bios set-up utility. After securing the product key, I contacted Microsoft and they agreed to send me 32 and 64 bit versions of Window 8.1 free of charge (so as long as I covered the shipping.)
When I went to install the 8.1 disk, I received a message stating that the product key didn't work. I can't help but wonder IF perhaps because my PC originally came with 8.0 that it's product key won't work with 8.1? When Microsoft asked
WHICH version I had on my PC, I had advised that I was using 8.1. They never asked what was the ORIGINAL OS?
Any ideas?

thanks for replies. I suppose it would be helpful for me to explain why I needed the product key and the new Microsoft Windows 8.1 discs in the first place. This was never a matter of merely trying to activate the OS. Last week- my
notebook went in to standby mode- a very normal process when I would step away from the notebook for a decent amount of time. When I tried touched the power button to release it from stand by, I received a message that the OS was not able to start up
due to TWO (very specific) files that were either missing or had been corrupted. The message recommended re-installing the OS in order to re-insalll or otherwise correct the file errors. I spent a good 3-4 hours researching this on a number of
Microsoft/ IT sites, and it appeared this was a very common error -stemming from "boot disk error" -or "errors with hard drive/ partitions". I then began my trek to a) locate the product key (of which I was able to secure from the BIOS) and b) have Microsoft
send me the Windows 8.1 discs. Hope this helps and thanks again.

Windows 8 error "product key does not match any of the Windows images available for installation"

Hi Experts
My HP Pavilion laptop came with window 8. I made the USB recovery for windows 8 using hp recovery manager. My windows was corrupted, while I was trying to install windows 7 in dual boot.
I used above USB recovery to restore factory default. But every time it is giving me error "HP Recovery Manager Failed error code = 0xefffff08"
Then I downloaded the OEM ISO mage for windows 8 and tried to do the clean install but now installation process is giving me error "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key"
Please help me. To whom I have to contact?

Hi ghost-rider,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand you tried to do a recovery and you received this error "oxefffff08".
First I would suggest you run a hardware diagnostics. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
If no hardware failures are located, you have ruled that possibility out.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8) that may help.
If you are still having an issue doing a recovery, I suggest contacting HP support and explain the issue you are having with doing a recovery. They may have another option available for you.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region Technical Support Sitemap
The clean install from an OEM image is looking for the product code as it does not match the one that came with the computer, You would need a new code.
I hope this has helped.

OEM Product Key will not activate

Hey,
Recently my HP laptop had some hardware issues and i had to get the parts replaced. Thereafter I tried reinstalling windows and activating but not being able to do so. I contacted MS Support earlier and told them what happened, we troubleshooted for about an hour and he told me that because the parts were replaced the Key is pointing at the old hardware Product ID's and that he could try override it. That however also failed. He then said that I should contact HP for a replacement key.
I can't find my laptop in the support section and I've decided to post in the forums instead.
If anyone can help me i'll really appreciate it.
Thanks

This seems identical to the problems I'm having. I get a message from MS every time I boot up that states my copy of WIndows is "not genuine". Two days with MS led to the statement that I must contact HP for a new product key. They didn't know why it wasn't working, but after reading this thread I'll bet I do: I replaced my HDDs with SSDs.
The "system" screen shows that my software is 'activated' but that's apparently not good enough. I can enter my product key into the appropriate screen, and am then again told that the key is good and windows is activated. But - the error message from MS continues to ignore. As I understand the message, I won't be able to get product updates until this is resolved.
Any help gratefully accepted!

OK put this way HP doesn't own the Product Key only MS can help you with that and you must contact them if your not using the Product Key that came with the O/S install. Beyond that HP can't help you obtain a Product Key.

Windows 7 Product Key Blocked - Not Genuine notice

My T420 is 3 years old and suddenly yesterday I got the notices and black screen saying "This copy of Windows is not genuine." And nag screens about it roughly every half hour (and annoyingly at boot-up).
I tried several fixes online, including re-entering the Product Key. When I do that I get error code 0XC004F063. There's no place to contact Microsoft for a replacement key, it says to contact Lenovo.
I talked to Lenovo support this morning and was told I may need to reinstall Windows and they were mailing me Restore discs. He checked and said with that error code I needed to call Microsoft.
I called MS and they checked the Product Key...it's blocked. I gave him my Product ID and that's blocked too. He said get back to Lenovo.
Lenovo knows nothing about this. Or what to do about it. The woman told me she had someone call this morning with something similar, though it was with Windows 8. She checked and several other support people had had similar calls this morning. She also said I'd probably have to reinstall Windows. I asked if she'd ever had this before and she said no. I asked if she knew of others having these calls before and she said not that she knew of. I asked if it seemed suspicious that suddenly a few people were having this problem. Sounds like Lenovo blocked a series of Product Keys. She hedged about whether it was truly escalated and said the Floor Manager was aware of it and they'd look into it. When I asked if they'd contact me if they found out anything, she said it doesn't work that way. They're mailing me the Restore discs and I'm to call back Friday to see if anyone knows anything.
In the meantime, here's my MS Genuine log. It looks okay to my untrained eye....anyone have any insights or know of other instances of this, especially in the past 24 hours?

Mark this as SOLVED. I got it sorted out. No one (including me) realized that the Product Key Belarc gives is a generic Lenovo one and that the lack of a sticker is because it's under the battery. I didn't realize this...and neither did Two Lenovo support people!

There is nothing to resolve. Serial numbers are platform specific, but platform swaps only apply to current versions, meaning CS&. Your CS4 is not eligible for an upgrade, so your only option is to buy a new CS6 license or sign up for Creative Cloud.

Microsoft Office Word 2007 product key does NOT work

Hello,
my laptop model is Satellite - A505-S6980 and I've been using Microsoft Word but everytime I use it, it prompts me to enter a product key. Which I found on the bottom of my laptop and it is saying its invalid and after 25 times that I try to access microsoft word I will no longer be able to use the features it has. What should I do? if its the correct product key where can I find it? my microsoft word was already installed in my laptop so I do not have a CD. I've also already tried searching through microsoft forums and tried some stuff but it is not helping.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

that is because the product key on the bottom of the laptop is for windows not office. the office that was installed on your laptop is a 60 day trial so if it has been that long you will need to buy it. if you dont want to buy it you can try open office which is almost the same and free. if you do want to buy it i believe if you buy 2007 you will get a free upgrade to 2010 but you would have to check on the microshaft site. 2010 comes out in june

Visio professional 2013 cant install because office product key does not match

Settings: office 2007 on windows 7
I'm the IT manager for a small consulting company. We use the full microsoft stack - all paid for.
When one of the consultants needed visio we went along and bought an digital version of it.
We installed it and all was nice and dandy.
The consultant left the company, we decommissioned the visio product from his laptop which was then recomissioned to a new employee without the visio.
Another consultant is now in need of visio. When trying to install visio according to the instructions we are asked to activate the office account on this specific laptop.
We then get a message that this office Product key is activated through another Microsoft account please log out and log in with that account?
We are using the exact same procedure as when installing the visio the first time (the visio sw is not installed or used on any other machine).
We have a multi license (volume) windows and office agreement with product keys.
AND WE ARE STUCK - SPENDING MORE TIME ON THIS THAN IT WOULD ACTUALLY COST US TO BUY ANOTHER Visio license!
I've used Microsoft / windows / office throughout my career but this just is not professional!
Please help – To me this is not a support issue that I should spend support money on. We have purchased all products and we cannot get it to work.

Hi,
From your description, you had a digital version of Visio professional 2013, it was a retail version. Please give me the whole error message when you
activate Visio.
As far as I know, we need to uninstall Visio professional 2013 online( keep connection with internet),then we could re-install and activate it. If you uninstall
it from consultant' laptop offline, it'll store the product key in the laptop.
I recommend you activate a Microsoft product by using Microsoft Product Activation Center
