Can I use product key from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit?

Hi, i have a Toshiba L505-10V and the original cds(2) with Windows 7 prenium 32-bit.
I have downloaded windows 7 prenium 64bit from here http://www.techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
I use the key from 32 bit but it says its not valid. Is it possible to work with the same key?
Also i download belarc to recoginise my 32bit windows key and it shows me different key from that is on the base of my pc.

Hi
According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64bit Home Premium and you got 32bit version on recovery DVD.
Both recovery versions are designed for your notebook model and both versions contain activation code so that both versions must not be activated.
I presume you didnt create recovery disc for preinstalled Win 7 64bit version.
You cannot use product key listed in 32bit version. If you use own Windows version you must enter valid product key that you must buy from Microsoft.

How to install Vista using product key from bottom of Satellite P200?

Hello all,
I recently had to replace my HDD as my P200 had a fatal error, corrupting all data on the old HDD. I have no recovery discs at all, (None were supplied), and wondered how i am supposed to re-install Vista using my product key from the bottom of the laptop? Can anybody give any kind of assistance please?
As i have been reading other related threads i get the impression that i need to approach Toshiba and buy a recovery CD, at my expense. Is this correct?
Thanks
Lee

Hi
As far as I know the serial key which is placed at the bottom of the unit would not work with other Vista versions! the key belongs to the OEM Vista version preinstalled by Toshiba.
As mentioned by Jeka, you will need to order an recovery disk or will need to use an clean Vista CD with an own serial key purchased previously.

Can't use product key to reinstall Office 2010 Professional Plus

I have used a legal copy of Office 10 for several months now. Recently my version of Windows became corrupted and I had to reinstall Windows, as well as all of my software. I reinstalled Office 10 Professional Plus and used my previous product key and am
told that it is not an Office 10 product key.
I attempted to go through the process of reclaiming the key at the Microsoft website but it does not find my Office product registered there. I'm not sure what to do at this point in time. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.
Rick

How to deploy agent from windows 32bit to 64bit

Hello,
I have installed oem grid on windows 2003 32bit. I have a few remote boxes that are 64 bit windows. How can I use oem grid on 32 bit to deploy agent on the remote 64 bit boxes? I can install agent on 64 bit boxes manually but I want to know how to deploy from 32 bit to 64 bit if possible? Thank you.

First, the bit version of the OEM OMS Host and the Target Agent Hosts is independent, i.e. you can have OMS on windows 32bit and have several 64bit target hosts, where you are running the 64bit agent.
Unless you have a lot of target hosts, I would recommend either manually installing the agents (mount a share with the installation files and run setup locally) or using the agentDownload.

Possible to obtain Windows 7 product key from Lenovo for downgrade from Windows 8.1?

Hi all. I have searched all over these forums and haven't found the answer to my question, so I figured I'd just ask it.
I purchased an Ideapad Y580 with Windows 8 pre-installed. Hated it from the get go. Upgraded to Windows 8.1, and still don't like. But, now, I am having a ton of bug-y issues. Although I've managed to fix most, they have become increasingly annoying. The latest is that upon upgrading to Windows 8.1, my USB ports stopped working...except they sometimes work, some of the time, but never all of the time. Drivers are up to date, and every diagnostic test I have run passes. Surfing the net, it sounds like this is a common issue with windows 8.1.
I was speaking with my firm's IT company and was told that they have had the exact same issues with numerous clients. (As an aside, they universally place lenovo products in their client's hands). It has gotten so bad that they do not provide windows 8/8.1 on any of the machines they prepare for their clients.
Last week, I was speaking to the IT company's local rep who was performing some server maintenance for us, and he indicated that if you purchased a laptop pre-installed with windows 8 and didn't like it, you could obtain a windows 7 product key from the manufacturer and downgrade to windows 7. Is that accurate? if so, how do I make that happen?

Too be honest I suggest you do not downgrade unless you have to use software in your company that does not work on Windows 7.
Get started reading Windows 8 guides, and you will notice Windows 8 is a lot better after you have read all the guides:

Download using a product key from a purchased product from the store.

I purchased the Adobe elements to use on my desktop. I downloaded it and it is installed however I just purchased MacBook Air and I want to install the program onto this computer. This computer does not have a disk drive. I was told that I should be able to download most programs an use the product key from the box however I do not see that option for the Adobe Elements. I downloaded the trial version in hopes of being able to convert it using my product key. Does anyone have any words of wisdom that will help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Serialnumbers of Elements 11 (PSE/PRE) are platform independent and support upto 2 activations per serial number.
So, if you're using the license on your desktop (win), you can still use the same serial key on your mac machine. Please install the trial version and on launch you'd get a prompt to enter your serial number or continue in trial. Please provide your serial number there and complete the wizrds by clicking next and here you go, your elements product on mac is licensed too.
thanks

Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

Not sure here ... you want to upgrade Final Cut Studio or do you want to move the version you have to an Intel Mac? Both is possible if you meet the system requirments.
1. Upgrade FCS
The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
2. Upgrade to Intel Mac
You may run the applications on one desktop and one laptop at the same time

You can still buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Note that this version comes with a DVD, but it includes the product key you need > http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-7-Ultimate/productID .253678200
You can also get Windows 7 from Amazon or NewEgg, and you may find it cheaper

Not a valid product key for windows vista?

Hey, two years ago i bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 with Windows Vista. It is running fine, but since 2 weeks on every start the backround is black and a message apears "Die Echtheit dieser Windows-Kopie noch nicht bestätigt" (This windows copy is not verified)I tried to register the system again with the Product Key on the bottom side lable, but the answer is always "Der eingegebene Product Key (ist) anscheinend kein gültiger Windows Vista Product Key" (The used product key is not a valid Windows Vista product key, please try again"
A telephone call with microsoft was not effective The service asked me to call Lenovo. Here I got a digital voice and after answering several questions with the number buttons on the phone, I got the order to use the lenovo.com page.
Where can I find a solution - Who can help me?

installing windows by pressing one key recover button should solve your issue.
still, you can take a look at this thread or search the forum for alternate solutions.

Product key for windows 10 not accepted

Hi!
Im installing Windows10 (US-Version) in a VM (Oracle) evironment an now the mentioned generic product key from the download site "NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR" will not be accepted.
Also the "disaster key" (from the MS community) is not working, regardless if installig a 32bit or 64bit Version.
Immediately after selecting language and locales and starting the installation, I will be prompted for product key. Strange!
After entering the above key following message occurs:
"We couldn't verify the the product key. Please check the installation media".
Otherwise I have installed windows7 some times ago in the VM with no Problems.
What should I do for testing Windows10?
Hartmut
PS: Today I tried UK-Version with exactly the same effects.

Hi gogosch,
Actually, it’s unnecessary to type key during installation phase. Where did you get the installation copy?
Download Windows Technical Preview
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-download
check the file’s hash value to see if you got the original copy.
