Blocked Windows (Bizspark) keys

I have some problems with Windows (Bizspark) keys. A few weeks ago I generated one key for Win 8, one for 7 and one for XP. Save these 3 keys I haven't generated any other keys for any other products and there are no other members registered in my Bizspark
account.
Unfortunately all those Windows versions report the respective keys as "blocked" and I'm not able to activate them after the installations.
What could be the reason? I contacted the MSDN support and they confirmed this: these keys haven't been used for activation so far. The case was "escalated" on the 13th Feb and I'm being told we are still waiting for Microsoft/Bizspark to investigate
it.
Is there anything else one can do to (help to) resolve this? I did write directly to bizspark@... on the 16th, 25th Feb and on the 3rd Mar and haven't received any answers.
Btw, another question: the "My Bizspark" page in my account says I can define/add up to 4 members whereas every FAQ and support page states it's 8. Which one is correct?
Thanks

no worries, I understand, and sorry for my short response yesterday. I'll ping the team internally like I did recently for another customer. The other customer posted with his real name. If you're comfortable doing so, please
let me know your name and company name and maybe they'll send you an update. If not, click site feedback at the bottom of
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions and that form will put an email in my inbox. I'll see if they can send you with an update.
Thanks,

Blocked WIndows Serial Key

Dear Respected,
I have purchased this HP envy laptop (15-j050tx) and somehow I lost my recovery partition. Now I did a clean installation of Windows 8.1 (64-but) using Windows Media recovery tool but it is not accepting the serial Key embedded in BIOS / Motherboard. Windows is telling me that my recovery key is blocked. Yesterday talking to a Microsoft agent he told me that my windows serial key is blocked by manufacturer (HP). I donot know why HP blocked my serial key. I want to use embedded windows serial or when I install other software (Windows 8.1 Pro) downloaded from my university MSDN link it does not work and my system always fall in problems (may be getting a conflict with motherboard serial key or something else). Kindly help me in this regard and please tell me the way how can HP unblock my serial key so I can use it.
Saluti,

Hi
There is no benefit in opening a new thread again.
Your issue has been already escalated by me and someone from HP would be soon looking into it. Be patient and wait.
Please don't create a new that regarding this issue and make a confusion out of it.

I can't install Windows 7 key over KMS host with WS 2012 R2

Hi
I have a KMS Host with Windows Server 2012 R2. I don't have problems installing keys for Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Office 2013, Windows Server 2012 R2. However, when I tried install keys for Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2008, I have the next message:
C:\slmgr.vbs /ipk <Windows 7 key>
Error: 0xC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid
I've installed the keys from the same source.

For a KMShost with the OS=WS2012R2, you cannot, and, there is no need to, install any other Windows KMShost keys. The WS2012R2 KMShost key, by itself, will activate the KMShost OS, and will also enable the issuing of activations for ALL Windows KMSclients.
Office KMS features are different, and do need to be installed for Office KMSclient activations.
The error you are experiencing is expected, and is a result of your attempt to perform an unnecessary configuration step.

Windows 8 Key Issue

Here's my problem. Windows 8 came preinstalled on my computer; however, I accidently deleted the Windows 8 key from the bios and now Windows keeps asking me to enter the correct key. Since there is no longer a sticker with the key included with the computer I have no way of finding the key. Does HP keep a record of the keys tagged to the serial number? Or am I just out of luck?
I called HP Support about this and they told me to get the key off the CDs which were included with the computer. When I told him there were no CDs, he said I had bought a used computer mascarading as new because all of their computers ship with Windows CDs. When I disputed this he said that Microsoft could solve the issue for me. Microsoft said that HP could solve it. Can anyone help me? I'd rather not spend money on buying Windows 8
Thanks in advance,
Mike
This question was solved.

HP does not retain records of the keys issued . HP also does not ship Windows CD's with the computers unless they were specifically ordered. If you have somehow deleted the key then you are out of luck, sorry.

How to block Windows Live Messenger

Dear All,
Greetings. Can anyone advise how can I block Windows Live Messenger? I have tried to block with the signature MSMSGS (which is for Windows Messenger), and MSN messenger.
Thanks,
ezekiel

Scott,
Kind of. You can block the Chat web category and that will block HTTP access to Chat related sites. This will 'help' prevent the downloading of such software, though if the installers are on a site like download.com, the clients will still be able to download it.
Once the software is already on the computer (installed previously, from an alternate download site, installed from a thumb drive, so forth), the chat software will most likely NOT use HTTP for communication with its servers. Which means the chat traffic will bypass the WSA and not be blockable.
The WSA will support these native chat protocols in the future.

Need Windows 8 key

When I trying reinstall windows 8 in my laptop i selected incorrect option and erase all drive and remove recovery partition.
I need the key of windows, there is not a sticker with the key attached under laptop

Usually you had to create an Toshiba Recovery disk in the past in order to install Windows system in case something would go wrong with the HDD or preinstalled OS.
The Recovery Disk contains already activated system and therefore the Windows 8 key isnt necessary in such cases.
If you did create the recovery disk in the past, you can order such disks from the page posted by Keany.
If you want to install Win 8 using original Microsoft Win 8 installation disk, then you have to use the Win 8 serial key belonging to this medium.

with Safari open

if your talking about Windows OS (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) you don't need to do anything. Windows Batch files, Virus, Malware, Executables, etc wont run in Mac OS, (but they could be a problem if you happened to have Windows installed AND running on your Mac at the time of the incident.)

Where can i find my windows product key ? am I not allowed to know this these days ?

If you bought a notebook with Windows 8, there are no product key stickers anymore.
The key is now digitally encoded in the BIOS.

I don't have a notebook that came with windows 8, so I don't know if you can see it in the BIOS or not but that would the place to look.

Setup Blocked : Windows Program Compatibility Mode

I'm trying to install "Modeling SDK for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013" on Windows 10 Tech Preview Build 10049:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40754
But always get:
"Setup Blocked"
Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again.
Compatibility tab on the setup VS_VmSdk.exe shows compatibility mode is off. No variation of settings on that tab have any effect.
Is there any way to bypass the compatiblity check on Windows 10 Tech Preview?
Thanks,
Mike

Rick, Have you had any success with this? I'm also trying to run the tfs_VssUpgrade.exe tool on my Windows 8.1 machine and getting the same exception. Greatly appreciate any insight if you were able to get past this issue! Thanks, Steve
Same issue here.

is interesting however.

Hello Alxandr,
Thank you for taking the time to submit this issue to Connect. This is a known issue with Windows 8.1 RTM and it will be addressed in a future update of Windows 8.1. In the meantime, you can typically rename the EXE to get it to work correctly.

Photoshop Elements 12: Windows Leicense Key on secondary Mac

I've purchased Photoshop Elements 12 from the officially Adobe Web Page. I could only select Windows or Mac Amazon is selling a Windows/Mac Version for the same Price as Adobe. Now I want to use Photoshop Elements as permitted in the License Agreement on a secondary device, which is an MacBook Air.
Apparently, the Windows License Key is not accepted during the Installation Phase.
How can I get the secondary Installation running on the Mac?
Kind regards,
Thomas

On the other Hand Adobe explicitly allows a second Installation on another Computer with the same license. No word abot having the same Operation System. And when you look to Amazon, their offer both, 12 and 13 as a Win/Mac Combo License - but Adobe doesn't. That's Stange, isn't it?

Short keys in the ABAP Workbench and windows short keys

Hello,
you trigger functions in the ABAP Workbench you can use short keys, ex. F8 for starting a report. But some of the short keys are already given for some window functions. So you can't use them in the ABAP workbench. Is there a possibility to assign new short keys to certain functions in the ABAP workbench or turn the windows short keys off, so that these short keys can be used for the ABAP workbench. Thanks.
Regards, Lars.

Not that I'm aware of.

Windows 7 Key (X131e)

Hey guys,
I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad X131e with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit und a option for Win 8 with some win 8 recovery disks (but i only need win 7).
Some weeks ago I installed a SSD and installed a Windows 7 Pro .iso from the internet. I read that the bios got a back up of the Windows activation key and the activation goes automatically but this was a fail...
Some days ago windows suddenly asks for a activation key and I dont know where is should get this key. Under the battery is no key and I get the oem key from the bios with a tool but the windows-activation only say: "This is a windows-standard-key....and not for activating Windows 7 Professional 64bit".
I hope somebody can help me with this confusing activation of windows. My last chance is to install win 8 with the recovery disks and maybe downgrade to win 7 but i want to avoid this step.
Thanks for your help!
I'm German, so I'm sorry for my average english

Hi,
fresh Windows reduction for auto activation from the BIOS SLIC should be OEM. Perhaps your .iso is retail one. Reinstall OS from the same image but before you'll perform that ask google about ei.cfg file within .iso, what is it for and how it could help.
It's impossible to manually activate Windows using the key from the BIOS.
Why do not clone your image from the HDD to the new SSD if you still have it?
