Can't activate Windows 8.1 from Windows Store Upgrade.

I have updated one of my client's computer to Windows 8.1 by the windows store after first reseting the Windows 8 from the Windows 8 Settings. After the update, the computer didn't activate and was asking for a product key. I have went ahead and opened up 'slui.exe 04' to activate the computer and get redirected to a microsoft agent after typing the IID. The microsoft agent said the computer needed to be activated by the manufactur. I then called the manufactur for assistance on this activation problem, and I get told I will need to pay for additional things like Virus Protection, and 24/7 tech support.. I'm trying to finish this computer up for a client, have it wiped and cleaned. I'm the technician helping her backup her data, clean, and wipe the computer. I need to pay at least $99? Thats just like asking to pay for a licence. A Windows 8.1 student licence is $69.. I shouldn't have to pay extra, and suffer without any money in offer back. I even told the tech support person on the phone that all I needed was the product key that was available with my computer, not extra tech support that already has what I know what to do if it occurs. I already know what anti virus programs to use and how to help my clients use them, I don't need assistance on fixing my or my clients blue screens or othe issues. I said to my client that my services are cheap all the way down to less than $30 and will be solved in less than two days. This computer is the only computer that wouldn't take it's embedded BIOS activation key, and automatically activate. I was asked to pay over $100, and I won't. I just need my client's computer to be activated to who ever (s)he is going to give it to.

If you upgraded using the MS store, then it is Microsofts responsibilty, they should have given you a new Product key for 8.1.

  • Can't access Logic Pro 9 from app store.

    Hey guys,
    Can't access Logic Pro 9 from app store. I purchased it from the App Store for my iMac in Jan 2012. I know have my wife's old macbook, and I'm trying to get put Logic on that computer too. I just updated it to Snow Leopard so that I could access the App Store. 
    Logic Pro shows up in the purchases tab on the laptop, but when I click install, the install button just goes white for a few seconds, then back to grey.
    If I click on the App itself it says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Australian Store." Only thing is I tested out downloading it onto my wife's new laptop only 2 weeks ago. Has it been removed from the App Store forever in that short little window? Quite annoying if I've missed the boat by such a short amount of time. If that is the case, is there any other way of transferring the app from one computer to another?
    Thanks,
    Thom

    No.. its still available on the Aus App Store.... I was just speaking with a client of mine in Geelong and he successfully downloaded it under the Purchase tab last Saturday so....
    Sign out of the App Store
    Quit the App Store
    Restart your Mac
    Launch the App Store..
    Sign into the App Store... using the Apple ID you used to purchase Logic Pro 9
    Look for any new Terms and Conditions popup you may need to agree to....
    If you click on the actual Logic Pro 9  icon you will get the message you saw because LP9 isnt available to purchase on the App Store any longer... so only click on the install button to the far right of the Logic Pro 9 entry under the Purchase Tab...
    Failing this... contact Aple directly as it is possible they will need to reset your Mac App Store account for it to work correctly (as has been needed in the past when this has occurred.)

    You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.

    how can i buy my favourite game from ovi store by master card?
    when i am trying to buy, after fill details in last steps it shows error

    Not clear whether this via device or you have gone to "My account" on Nokia Store upon PC and added credit card there, in which case only Nokia account password would then be needed to authorise payment.

  • I'm now at Sudan. I'm from Bangladesh. After coming Sudan I can't download/install any application from apps store. It shows error code-1009. Now what to do ? can anybody help me....?

    I'm now at Sudan. I'm from Bangladesh. After coming Sudan I can't download/install any application from apps store. It shows error code-1009. Now what to do ? can anybody help me....?

    Are you trying to download apps from the Sudan app store?  If so, you have to have a valid credit card and billing address in the country of the app store to purchase from that app store.
    Some countries also have restrictions on the apps and functions allowed in their countries.

  • I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

    Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
    It's due for everyone this fall.  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you can't wait, contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link
    If you get lucky, they may be able to authorize another download now.

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

    .local indicates local activity by the computer host Williams-macbook-pro.local=hostname@domain . The UID of 501 is the standard UID of a local computer administrator.
    Copy and paste this little script in your terminal:
    if [ "SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
         echo I am remote
    else
         echo I am local
    fi
    A return of "i am local" ensures there is no remote connection to your machine (through SSH).
    In the future, to avoid remote entry, I would recommend not posting your IP address though.
