Can I use WinXP Home serial number using WinXP Pro install disc

Hello everyone,
I am going to downgrade from Vista to XP (my DELL machine was originally XP Home) but I don't have my old XP install files anymore.  I did do have a Windows XP Professional SP3 install disc.  My question is:  Would I be able to use my serial number using the WinXP Pro install disc for a clean install?  (I am going to format my C drive.)
Thanks!

Hey there! You would not be able to use the Home Key with a Professional disc.

  • How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

    I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

    Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
    Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
    Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
    This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong

    Sorry Fred you are wrong.
    If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

  • Can I use the same serial number for mac and pc?

    My problem is that my mac is falling apart and I don't know how long it's still working - can be hours or can be months. I'm not sure if my next computer is mac or PC, so I'd like to know if the same serial number can be used with both mac and PC? I have understod that I can delete the program from my old computer and then use the same serial number in my next computer (Is it working that way?). So if I now buy a lisence for mac, can I use the same lisence later with PC?

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

    how can I check serial number using icloud?

    If you are talking about an iPhone and you simply tap on settings/general/about
    Both IMEI and Serial numbers are there to see.
    You can use the *#06# short code on the phone keyboard to see IMEI as well
    Or connect your iphone to iTunes on a PC/Mac
    Click on the device in side bar and summary button at top left of browser window
    In the top panel you have :-
    Name of the device
    Capasity
    Build Version/Software version - Mouse click on it to change which is displayed
    Serial Number/UDID Identifyer - Mouse click on it to change which is displayed
    Phone number /IMEI -Mouse click on it to change which is displayed
    Its very easy to see both numbers if you actually have the device.

  • Getting Serial Number using BlackBerry PIn

    Hi guys
    does anyone know how to generate the device serial number using the PIN? My precious limited edition just got stolen at an accident a few minutes ago.
    BlackBerry Protect on location it's shaded out, likely won't be able to see it's location once wiped. Though I do hope to recover it.
    Please help. The box is more than 1000 miles away and can only access it probably once my mum is back there from her holiday this side in about a month.

    Your carrier should have that on file so giving them a call would be an idea.

  • How to create a Sales order with ref. with serial number using BAPI

    Hi Gurus...
    I have a requirement where,  i need to create an order with reference to serial number using a BAPI.
    The inputs will be the Order type..Sales area..Sales office..Sales group..Sold-To-party..Material number...Serial number...
    When i create the order using VA01 the configuration data will be automatically copied from the BUMP order which will have all the required information.
    But to create using a BAPI, i am struck ed..Please help
    Thanks in advance..
    Srinu

    You can use this BAPI.
    You can pass ITM_NUMBER to the ORDER_ITEMS_IN parameter. I think this will act as serial number.

  • Invalid serial number using Acrobat 8 CD

    I am trying to install Acrobat 8 on a workstation I swapped out. Acrobat 8 was on the "old" workstation. I deactivated it from the help menu and Acrobat 8 reported that the license had been successfully released. Then I installed Acrobat 8 on the new workstation. I get an error message saying invalid serial number. I know I am using the right serial number. I think the problem is that I am using a different CD than the one that was originally used and I am guessing the serial number is somehow coded on the installation CD, so that it is the invalid serial number for that particular CD. However I have no idea where the first CD is anymore as other people use it besides me. Presumably I should be able to install Acrobat 8 from any media (I hope) as long as I have a valid and legal serial number. Is there any way to get past that error message for my situation?

    There may well be many different installer CDs, depending upon if the Acrobat is an upgrade from a previous version, a new full version installer, or even one that came with another suite. You need to find the correct disk for the serial number you have. If you cannot find one, perhaps Adobe Customer Service can help you. Needless to say your company should not be playing fast and loose with installation disks that are worth big money.
