Activation key mismatch - Professional vs Ultimate G550 XP upgrade to Win 7

i have a problem with pages dropping off when writing text.  i can bring the page back moving the mouse. big pain... i got as far as the "activation key mismatch" notice and a cold boot was done. it also ref. download newest drivers. i went to that link and found that they were not avail. ref. apache tomcat / 6.0.18 i went to that site but could not read info about download. is this what i need? i dont want to install the wrong thing. thanks, ml

Thanks for responding hatter-- The problem, though, is I can't even install W7 once.
The upgrade key won't let me do a fresh install, and I can't boot from CD to do it, either (although this has worked for other CDs, including the old XP CD.)

    You will need to purchase  a license activation key for Windows 7 Ultimate.
    HP does not install Windows 7 Ultimate version on its notebook.
    That is why your attempt to upgrade from Windows Basic\Home edition\Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate is not working.

  • Activation key for Acrobat 8 Professional has stopped working

    I uninstalled Acrobat 8 Professional in the process of finding why it would not print pdf documents received over the internet (prints garbage). When I re-installed it, I found that it does not accept the activation key.

  • Where do I find my OEM Lenovo Yoga IdeaPad 13 Windows 8 activation key?

    Hello, a couple of days ago, I received my Lenovo Yoga Ideapad 13 in the mail. I turned it on and soon noticed that Lenovo had really screwed the pooch on how they partitioned the device. The SSD was 128GB but only 60GB was given to the C drive. The rest was either on the D drive or in some hidden partition.
    I almost immediately proceeded to do a clean install of Windows 8.
    I procured an ISO of Windows 8 and ran through the install process. For this post, I'm going ot ignore some of the issues I ran into in this process (wifi not working by default) and cut right to my current problem: I cannot legally activate Windows 8 unless I have a valid activation key. Where is this key found?
    The "About Windows 8" post on this very board says that it should be found somewhere on my laptop, but I couldn't find it. I even played with the idea of opening up the ultrabook to see if it was on the inside. I decided to hold off on this until I can get a professional tear-down guide from iFixIt or something.
    In the meantime, where do I find my key?

    It is either on a sticker somewhere on the laptop Usually on the bottom side of the laptop. Or it is attached to a card in the documents that came with laptop. My Toshiba laptop shipped with its Windows 7 code in both places. There was a sticker attached to the bottom of the laptop and there was another Genuine Windows Card that was mixed in with all the manuals that also contained the number. I would look there as well.

    Glad to hear you had the forethought to write down the registration key.  Personally I keep a separate listing of all my keys for my various computers as it can come in handy at times. 
    Yes, you can use the key to tell you which version of Windows 7 you have,  Check out my link below to the free PIDX utility. Most likely you had Windows 7 Home Premium x64 which was the usual version installed on your model.

  • Re: Windows activation key and clean Win7 installation

    Hi,
    me again :-)
    So, I will install the new ssd in my Tecra R840!
    Since I do not want to clone my actual hdd to ssd but, instead, make a fresh window 7 professional 64 bit install, how can I accomplish this without any DVD (my previous Toshibas..
    .I had 2 before, first one dated from 1997 had CD/DVDs with the OS!).
    So, I have the activation key in the label at the back of my Tecra but I do not have the media with OS!
    Please help to solve this :-)
    Regards,
    paulo

    Since, I think, 6 years Toshiba doesn't offer notebooks with recovery DVDs anymore. Original recovery image for certain notebook model is saved on HDD and every notebook owner must/should create recovery disc using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool.
    Please create this disc before you change anything and use this disc for further OS installation.
    If you have more questions you are welcome.

  • How can I get Apple to give me an activation key for QT Pro that works?

    Stopping at the Genius Bar last night, they suggested I upgrade my QT Viewer to Pro so I could move some of my digital video over to my iPone. I followed the purchase/download instructions and after putting in the activation code, I was NOT redirected to the page to activate the Pro version. I did the usual of retyping ny name, the key and even installed QT Viewer again, all to no avail.
    I caled Apple support this morning and was told to call QT support and have them make my key recognizable. The only problem is the number she gave me for QT support says there is no QT phone support, only web information on frequently asked questions and this forum. I sort of feel like I am going in a circle.
    So if anyone has the magical answer on how I can get Apple to give me an activation key that actually works without being able to speak or email a human support person, I would very much appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Kirk,
    Thanks again for your suggestions. No, I don't get an
    error message. In fact nothing happens. My name and
    key are typed in and from what I understand, once you
    do that with a real key it directs you to the
    registration page. When I get done entering the
    information the window just sits there without any
    button or option to continue.
    QT Pro is already in the QT (non-pro) you installed and the key (which is a hash of your name in part) allows the Pro features to work.
    No redirect, internet, nothing like that. As such many people have activated and think they haven't. Just look at the menu items and see if the "Pro" logo is shown next to a few (which are greyed out and not available without Pro). If not you are done.

  • Aperture 2.0 Activation Key does not work after using older trial version

    I was using the installed trial version of Aperture 1.5+ in my recently purchased MacBook Pro Duo (December 2007). After using the trial version for 30 days I debated whether to take the plunge ...and then within a few days recieved word that v2.0 was out at 199$. That motivated me ...however, here I am nearly one week later without ability to activate a full blown version of 2.0.
    I recieved the activation key, but it doesn't accept it in the dialog to upgrade in the trial version. Hint seems to be that it is not a serial number I am entering but an activation key.
    I did not order a boxed version, so what do I do now? Support is not too helpful as I have searched Apple's website and have no clue as to where to go.
    Last resort ... I want my $199 back!

    did you download the trial for Aperture 2

  • I  bought a new laptop (Dell ProBook; Windows 7.1) after a catastrophic crash of my old one. I installed my licensed copy of Photoshop CS3 on my new machine, and find that my activation key will not work.  Is this remediable, or am I simply stuck buying a

    As indicated in the header question, I've been unable to get PS CS3 to run (other than in "trial period" mode) on my new laptop. I purchased CS3 a few years ago and had it up and running on my former (now deceased) machine; I still had the activation key. I installed the program on my new machine (running Windows 7.1), seemingly uneventfully. But when I now enter the activation key, I get an error message informing me that the number is not valid.
    Does the activation key become invalid after a certain time period, or is there something I can fix? I'm interested in upgrading, but would like to have the familiar version available until I get around to doing so (just retired; lots of time-consuming changes afoot).
    Thanks for any help/info.

  • Site lost activation out of nowhere - How do I find and enter the activation key through VPN?

    I had a message that site comms went down.  My clients sent somebody on-site and all is working but the OnPlus agent still shows comms down.  I VPN'd in and can get to the web page for the unit but it's asking me to activate it.  Is there a way to find the activation key to enter into that field so that my settings, etc. are kept?
    Also, has this happened to anybody else before and what could be the cause?  Thanks!

    Hi Lokib,
    Sounds like the On100 has been reset. Did someone inadvertently hold down "Reset" on the device?
    The Activation key is located under "Profile>Profile".
    I haven't seen this happen to anyone else myself. Could you PM me the site name and I'll see if we can dig up anything else in the logs.
    Thanks,

  • How to get activation key

    I have purchased a download copy of Lightroom 5 from a legit source, and was supplied with a product  key that that contains 22 digits, clustered as 6, 4, 4, 4, 4. However the activation key for the  software requires 24 digits in 6 clusters of 4. How can I obtain the correct key?

  • Because the photoshop elements 10 change language now install Yosemite on mac?  and how to find out the license activation key in app store bought apple

    Help me, please

    There is no activation key in the app store version. If you want to qualify for an upgrade version  from adobe you use your apple ID for your Adobe ID. Otherwise it's irrelevant. Not sure what you're asking about Yosemite. Yes, you may have the language problem and whether or not you can sort it depends on your preferred language for PSE. People have had some success switching it back to English, but very little with other languages.

  • Question about activation key for pre-installed software after hard drive failure.

    I had a hard drive failure on my MacBook Pro last week and had it replaced by Apple.  When I restored my computer with a Time Machine backup, Office 2011 wants an activation key to start up again.  Problem is, I had Office pre-installed when I bought my MacBook by Apple.  Where do I get the activation key to get it working again?

    Do you still have the signons.sqlite and key3.db files from the IT setup?
    You can find the sync account password and the sync (recovery) key in the password manager on computers where a sync account with a specific e-mail address has been set up.
    Look for:
    * chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)

  • Implement activation key in ABAP code

    In short:
    I want to implement a way to control if certain ABAP code (certain logicial areas) are executed, by having the ABAP code prompting for an activation key.
    Much like when you are promptet for a Developer access key or an object key for chaning sap standard code.
    The long explanation:
    We have som local developement in our system landscape that we want subsiduraies to request an access key if they want to go beond a certain point (or if they want to use this logical part of the develoment).
    They should be promptet for an access key - which they then request from the head office.
    A case could also be if we are developing an SAP Add-on using AAK (Add-on Assemply Kit) and we want to close of certain areas of functionality, these areas of functionality could then be opened by a access key requested from headoffice.
    Question
    Do you know how to impelment an access key feature in ABAP?

    For programs (SE38), you may implement EXIT_SAPLS38E_001 of extension SEUED001 (using CMOD transaction) to keep users from modifying programs:
    IF operation = 'EDIT' AND
       program IN <reserved_to_head_office> AND
       sy-uname NOT IN <head_office_team>.
      MESSAGE i001(00) WITH 'program reserved exclusively to head office'.
      RAISE cancelled.
    ENDIF.
    For function modules (SE37), you may implement EXIT_SAPLS38L_001 of extension SEU00004:
    IF operation = 'MODIFY' AND
       objectname IN <reserved_to_head_office> AND
       sy-uname NOT IN <head_office_team>.
      MESSAGE e001(00) WITH 'this FM is reserved exclusively to head office'
              RAISING cancelled.
    ENDIF.
    For methods (SE24), I don't know how to do it. I guess implicit enhancement option should be used.
