Poor french guy !!

Answer this: do you have NTFS for OS X installed?
That is the only time normally though not always that Windows won't show in
System Preferences: Startup Disk: control panel
> i have upgrade Bootcamp over Win7, i upgrade too Win7
Boot Camp is only Apple drivers.
So other than language, you are running Windows natively. Only.
You don't upgrade Boot Camp. You probably do have Windows updates of course.

You should read the Boot Camp Installation Guide.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
And you should visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Snow Leopard forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

I purchased a License for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 plus Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and Adobe doesn't recognize the License Key, Adode customer services aren't interested.

Where do I go next? Credit card company to ask for a refund?

Has you contacted the seller through its Customer Service?
If that is the case and Customer Service has no idea of what you were given as a Product Key and how to use it, have you considered asking
your question in the seller's forum (PC software section)?
But, I have another idea for you to try first....are you involved in a student teacher purchase with prepaid card? If so, please click on the following link
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number-student-teacher.html#card-sub mit-product-code
and go to the section on "I received a prepaid card, and I need help". In that section go to "2" which is for
"Submitting my product code and proof of eligibility to Adobe". You will notice there is a link to click on that
is related to country. Make the appropriate choice and see if that solves the problem. You should see
Visit the page listed on the back of your prepaid card to submit your code and proof.
For customers inside North America, www.adobe.com/go/edu-validate
For customers outside North America, submit through your region's customer portal below:
Europe, Middle East, Africa | Germany | France | Spain | Italy | Netherlands | Czech Republic | Poland | Asia/Pacific | Korea
Verification can take anywhere from 2 to 30 days to validate.
If the above does not apply to you, then I would explore the seller forum for answers if you cannot get them from Adobe Chat or the seller's
Customer Service. Getting your money back from the seller should be tried as soon as possible if you find no solution.
Thank you.

Prompted for Windows product key after FBReseal.exe

Greetings,
With the EOL of Windows XP fast approaching, we are planning to deploy POSReady 2009 to several cash registers. My plan is to install the POSReady 2009 Ghost image provided by our vender/OEM, make our site specific modifications, then run fbreseal
and create a new image for deployment. My problem is that after I run fbreseal (and then simply reboot the register as a test) the setup wizard asks me for a Windows product key (which I don't have and can't get because OEMs can not give it to customers).
I thought that the entire purpose of fbreseal was for cases like this when you do not have a Windows product key? What am I missing? Is there a hidden switch I should be using with FBReseal?
Thanks,
Dasani

I had found/read the document... I guess the fourth paragraph had led me to believe that FBReseal would not ask for the product key:
"Sysprep is useful in scenarios when you have access to your POSReady product key, and also provides additional customizing functionality over FBReseal. FBReseal does not require a product key, but it does not have as many features as Sysprep, and it can
only be run one time. If you do not have access to your POSReady product key, you must use FBReseal."
When I apply the Ghost image from the vender and start the register I get the following prompts:
- Welcome Screen
- I have to accept the license agreement
- Choose regional/language options
- Define my name/organization
- Define computer name and administrator password
When I FBReseal it and then restart, I get the exact same prompts EXCEPT after I define my name and organization it asks for the Windows product key.
I suspect the vender did not prepare our Ghost image properly, it appears that they may have ran FBReseal. Based on the POSReady 2009 deployment guide, this should not be done:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd936220(v=winembedded.0).aspx
"The product ID (PID) that is required to license the OS is only available to an OEM. End users receive a fully installed OS that can be customized. It is important to understand the state of the POSReady OS that you receive from your OEM. The original installation
of POSReady must be prepared by the OEM by using the Sysprep utility. This will put the OS image in a state that is ready to be customized and cloned. The OEM must not use FBReseal to prepare the computer for cloning. The suggested cloning method, which uses
Windows Deployment Services, will only recognize a device that has had a full Sysprep pass. The OEM will likely provide two sets of media to aid in the POSReady customization process:"
Anyway, since the vender I'm working with is slow.... it appears I may have no choice but use their Ghost image and then apply all of our customizations to each and every register.
Thanks,
Dasani

I have a big problem. I lost my other device, and Sync doesn't recognize my Recover Key, even if I generate a new one. What to do? I have all my bookmarks there

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934696 - locking''
The Sync doesn't recognize my Recovery Key ("Wrong Recovery Key") even if I generate a new one. What to do?

If you have generated a new Recovery Key, then unfortunately the account data that you had before is gone (Sync will wipe all data before creating a new key to ensure it stays secure). So unfortunately at this point, unless you have a backup of your data somewhere, it is inacessible.

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

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.

Wrong Windows product key during SP2 installation

Hi all, i have reinstalled the windows XP.
When i try to update the SP2 for the system, mircrosoft told me i am not using a right product key.
Then i follow the instructoin to download a KeyUpdate Tool and i put in the product key which under my notebook, it saids it is not the correct key for the windows that i am using.
At the compare product key site, it shows:
OS Version: Windows XP Professional
Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
Model: Satellite M60
Product Key: *****-*****-*****-*****-P6R2Y
It shows correctly the manufacture and the model.
However, i am using a Windows Xp Home Edition and the key from that CD is end with *****-*****-*****-*****-Q6JWG.
And the product key from my notebook is end up with *****-*****-*****-*****-GCFKM.
Then I download the Windows Product Key Update Tool and put in both the product key from the CD and notebook.
Both of them dosen't work. I want to know how can I update the Service Pack for my windows. Can anyone help? Thx!
What can i do for that? Thx!!!!!

Hi
I have read some threads about similar problems with the OS key and the key changing has always helped
Sometimes Microsoft rates the image keys as incorrect or invalid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)
Fact is that the key on the CD cover can be used only to activate the installed Microsoft Works or OneNote software on the notebook. The key is not responsible for the Windows OS!
The key which could be used with Win OS is placed at the bottom of the unit.
Well, according to your message you used this key and now Im a little bit confused
I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country for clearing this problem

Miix2 8 Windows Product Key not accepted

Hello,
I got a brand new Miix2 8 which asks me to activate Windows.
I got a sticker with the Windows product key inside the product box. However Microsft tells me that there is something wrong with it. In the UEFI I can find the entry for the windows key. There it says "Std" only.
Where can I get a working product key. My device should be activated by the factory already?
Thanks and Best Regards
Marco

That raises flags. I would contact Lenovo to have the machine re-imaged.
Also, can you clarify when you said you received a product key in the box? Again, it seems very unusual. With other series, the key is either affixed to the unit, or embedded into the BIOS.
Did you purchase this unit through a retailer, or direct from Lenovo?

I Need the Windows Product Key for my Laptop

I had to use my recovery disks and Microsoft was not able to validate the software online. When I called Microsoft support, I was told I needed the Product Key. When I looked under the bottom of my laptop, one of the numbers/letters is worn and hard to read. I was told to contact HP. When I attempted to do this on the website, I got a message that HP no longer services this laptop. I don't need service. I just need information. All of the HP product information was nicely sealed and secured. I don't understand why the same was not done for the Windows product key. Thanks.

Check everything to make sure all is working OK. I do not think it is necessary to reload the OS if everything is working. There are other ways to get it activated.

WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY - for reinstalling WINDOWS

What if your computer comes with NO Windows Product Key sticker -- computer came new with Windows 7 preinstalled but, included Windows 8 installation discs - never needed a key & should've (in hindsight) made a boot repair disc - but, recently computer would NOT boot up - tried to repair it but, no luck -- SO, now if I want to reinstall Windows 7 will have to use an OEM but, need a Product Key for HP computers --- any time else you install Windows you are REQUIRED to enter your own Product Key # which is about 25 digits including letters, numbers & dashes ---------- I do have Windows 10 on another drive but, love Windows 7 -- Windows 10 is far better than 8 BUT, not as good as 7 I have looked all over my case for any WINDOWS sticker & inside too -- I have heard that laptops are usually under the battery but, for DESKTOPS will be stuck somewhere on the case & this does NOT have one -------------- it is just STUPID for HP to ship computers without a PRODUCT KEY as every other manufacturer does for this reason..THANKS

Hi, Goodmorning! Uhm as far as I know Operating System of these unit didnt came with product keys, because operating system of this unit is from the manufacturer, And it was never been installed using standalone discs by hp. You might need to order recovery discs online on its support website. as far as I know. Hope you dont mind.

T440s Windows product key sticker

Hi, I plan on reinstalling Windows 8. Does anyone know where the Windows product key sticker is located on the T440s? I've looked under the battery compartment but it's not there. Any help would be appreciated.

It's built into the BIOS, so Windows Setup will pick it up automatically.

Windows 7 64bit on bootcamp doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter

in my new macbook pro retina I've a problem on window 7 64bit (bootcamp 4.0). the OS doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter..

The thunderbolt ethernet adapter works without issue on my rMBP with Windows 7. Did you download and install the Windows Support software? Did you refer to the Windows help regarding networking? Did you try a different adapter? What happens when you try to use Ethernet networking?

It always Bootcamp asistent 4 doesn't recognize Windows 7 Home Premium install disc

Hi there,
I've search half a day for answers in already existing threads but haven't found a solution, so now I dare ask this question.
I have a Imac Mac OSX 10.7.5
Processor 2,7 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory RAM 4GB 1333 MHs DDR3
I want to install with Bootcamp (version 4) Windows 7 Home Premium but after have tried numerous times Boot camp says that it cannot find the installation disc. I downloaded an ISO version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit from the website http://best-windows.vlaurie.com/boot-disks.html#full
and burned it on DVD-RW 4.7GB (TX). I also tried various other versions which I burned but with the same result. I wonder it's the type of DVD I use or the versions. Bootcamp doesn't accept burned installation discs?
If somebody can help me I would be thankful
greetings
Guy

Unfortunately, you can't buy just a key. Well, large organizations can get site license codes, or multiple individual codes so they aren't buying hundreds of boxes of media when you only need one, or a few for distribution. If you were able to get a working disk put together from the download, you'll only be able to get a short way into the installer, and then you'll be stuck.
The only other way to legitimately purchase a key is if you already own a legal copy of the OS, and just want another key so you can install Windows on another computer without buying another box. For that, you contact Microsoft where they can verify the key you already have (you read it to them, of course), and they will then sell you another key.
The sure way to have it work of course is to buy a copy of Win 7. It has to be a full retail copy, not an upgrade box. There is a way to use an upgrade disk, but you also must have a legitimate previous version the Win 7 installer can see. Meaning, you need two DVD drives. I did find a few sites selling just activation keys, but they were of course all illegal as the sites had nothing to do with Microsoft.
1) When looking for Win 7, be very careful on eBay. Purchase only an unopened box. Otherwise, chances are high the key has already been used by someone else.
2) There are system builder versions, such as you see listed here. Those are OEM disks that were supposed to be bundled with the sale of a particular PC model. Microsoft themselves say you can purchase these OEM disks and use them, but they are a one time installation. Once the key has been used, it is tied to that specific hardware. So if you were to get a new Mac and wanted to install Win 7 again, you wouldn't be able to from that disk. You can find these all over the place ranging from $85 to $95.
Be forewarned that full retail (non system builder OEM copies) of Win 7 have gotten very pricey.
