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.
See this thread:

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?
Thanksno 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,

Windows 8.1 Serial Key Issue
Hello
I recently made a Windows Refresh to restore mi PC without destroying my files, everything went fine, except that now it asks me to Activate Windows and I don't have the Serial Key because Windows 8 was installed from fabric.
I got the notebook 2 years ago as a gift and it was purchased in the US, but I live in México, I tried calling the HP support number in México but they told me that I needed to contact the US support.
I hope you can help me find a solution because I really need my Notebook working for my School Projects.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Note: Here are some screenshots of what I see in the Windows 8 setting menu.Try finding your Product Key using Produkey
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/produkey-x64.zip
Then hold down your Windows key and hit 'R'
Type SLUI 3 then Enter
Type your Product Key in the space provided and hope that it activates Windows, if not it may invite you to use the telephone and you should find a number for Mexico. Be prepared to enter lots of digits, it helps if you have speaker facility on your phone... -
Windows 7 upgrade program error: Compaq serial key not recognized.
Hi,
I recently (5th of August 2009) bought an Compaq Presario CQ 5030 running on Windows Vista Home Premium.
I was told that i could get a free upgrade for this computer to windows 7 when it was to be released.
However, when I try to order my copy of Windows 7, it say's that my Serial Key and Product Key are of an incorrect format.
The label shown as "Where do i find my Serial Key?" isn't the same as the one on my computer, but my computer does appear in the list op computer's who apply for the upgrade to windows 7 and I am running Windows Vista Home premium and bought it in the correct time.
Could anyone please tell me what to do?Thank you in advance for your fast reply.
I have sent an email to the adress you provided.
I'll repost when I have received an answer.
P.S., I live in Europe, do they provide their service to Europeans as well? Cause i think i might have seen the mail on a site saying it was USA and Canada only.

Windows 8 serial key + Recovery
Hi,
I just purchased a Lenovo U410 a month ago. Thinking how does the reformatting work with this system. Do I need to create a recovery image ? Is there a default factory image of the system already ? If one day, if things gone wrong, how do reformat ? How do I find the serial key for the copy of Windows 8 ? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.hi evanicle,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community
Regarding your questions:
1. In event of a crash, you can reformat / reimage the machine by pressing the One Key Recovery button that is located near the vents on the left side of the unit.
2. If the One Key Recovery button doesn't work, it's essential to create a recovery drive using this method to restore the preloaded Windows 8 OS.
3. Yes, the Lenovo U410 has a default factory image that's embedded on the HDD.
4. Pressing the One Key Recovery button or restoring from the recovery drive will restore the preloaded OS and applications and automatically preactive Windows using the OA3 key that's embedded on the motherboard. If you want to get the product key, you can extract it by using Belarc Advisor.
Hope this helps

Portege Z10T-A140: Can I upgrade to Win 8.1 and where to find serial key
Hi ,
I have Z10T-A140 .
when i check part number in link : http://www.toshibamea.com/en/Compatibility-Matrix-8-1?SerialNo=pt131v-00h005ar
told me not compatible with win 8.1 .
but at under page write it is compatible with win 8.1 .
Why result is different?
Other my question :
I can not my Windows 8 serial number and i can only view last 5 digit number .
If my HDD clear and i need full new install winodws 8, where i can find my Windows 8.1 serial number ?
Thank you .> Why result is different?
Your notebook is an Portege Z10T-A140 PT131V-00H005AR
Of course its Windows 8.1 upgradable and supported.
On the Windows 8.1 update supported models page you can find the Portege Z10T PT131V.
> Other my question :
>I can not my Windows 8 serial number and i can only view last 5 digit number .
>If my HDD clear and i need full new install windows 8, where i can find my Windows 8.1 serial number ?
I recommend reading the user manual. There you can find info about Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
The recovery media creator would allow you to create an Recovery disk. Such disk install the Toshiba image on the notebook again. The serial key is not necessary because the Windows 8 will be activated automatically using Toshiba image. -
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.
View Solution.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.

Hi,
I would like to know how to purchase just a serial key for windows 7 home premium edition - I own the retail copy which I have installed on a Dell Inspiron which I have since donated to my father after getting my MacBook Pro 15''. I bought Parallels Desktop and installed Windows 7 onto a VM in Parallels using this same Windows 7 DVD. Unfortunately, I did not realise at this time that Windows 7 will detect this as a new install (on a different "hardware") and request activation. I do not want to go through another installation process by buying a fresh copy and would hence, like to purchase just the legitimate serial to activate this version in Parallels.
Thanks in advance,
GautamWhen you installed Windows (and didn't type a key), it asked you which edition of Windows you wanted to install. As long as you chose 'Home Premium', you can use any Home Premium license key.
The key isn't tied to the disc. -
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 laptopUsually 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. -
Serial Key Version not matching the OS
So.....I think this is similar to one of the popular discussions, but different
I got my lenovo laptop from US, but I moved to korea. This was 2013 Fall
Last month, my hard drive broke down, and I replaced it in korea.
The problem is that.. I got windows reinstalled,, but they installed the Korea verison of Windows 8.1
Since the serial key on my chipset is for the US Version of Windows 8.1, the key isn't registered for Korean version and thus I am unable to activate
So I need to install the US Version of Lenovo OEM, but.... Apparently the image is unavailable in Korea Lenovo centers..
So.. This is my question
1. IS there any workaround for this problem??
2. IF not,,, is there a way I can request a OEM Disk from US to Korea??
Currently my windows is deactivated,, and apparently after a month or two, it starts to shutdown every 2 hours or so. and I definetly do not want this happening..
Thank you
Solved!

My Adobe Creative Suite CS5 download rejects my valid serial key. What must I do?
Hello everyone,
I have a legitimate serial key for Creative Suite CS5. Because I once lost my CD's Adobe sent me a download link to download the suite which worked then, but now I have a new laptop which doesn't have a CD-rom drive, so I tried to download these links again. Now I get the message that my serial key is invalid. I have had contact with customer support and they verified that my serial key is valid and then I was sent to the forum to ask how to continue.
Prachi: I see that as it is the old product, you need to visit our Adobe Forum to troubleshot the issue.
I kindly await your response.
With kind regards,
Joost DingemansI have a legitimate serial key for Creative Suite CS5.
Let's start with the basics:
Which Creative Suite CS5?
Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium
Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard
Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium
Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium
Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection
Windows or Mac?
Have you downloaded the correct installer for the correct product?
