Hi!
The product key on the bottom side of the notebook is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. That means you can??t use this key with a normal Vista installation disk that you can buy on the internet or from a computer shop.
If you want to install Vista you should a Toshiba recovery disk or a Microsoft disk with the corresponding product key.
You can order a Toshiba recovery disk from Toshiba directly:

I have only had the laptop for 3 weeks it is on window 7 Satellite L350-262 model
I have tried to register my product key and it keeps saying invalid what can i do ? plz
It also keeps saying that some files on my c drive are corrupted i have tried backing it up to see if it gets rid of them but nothing happens

Dear Paula
Who knows what is wrong there.
I recommend you to do follow:
-all important data saved on partition C move to partition D
-install operating system again following this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
All data saved on partition D will be still there and you will have clean preinstalled operating system without corrupted files.

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.

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.

Get product key for preinstalled windows 7

Hello sir, I bought this laptop (Hp pavilion dv6 6115tx Entertainment Notebook)around 4 years ago with preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Operating system. As you know Microsoft is going to give free upgrade to Windows 10. But the problem is that the product key below my laptop is not much visible. I am unable to identify the product key. Is there any other way to get product key of my genuine windows 7? I have recovery disk with me. but it does'nt have product key on it.Please help me... Thanks & Regards,Rushikesh Musale

Yes, you can use the same product key for 64-bit release too, as SenneVL says. But, kindly note that upgrade across is not supported and you need to perform clean install only. Also, kindly note that the Windows installation must be made in the same PC,
even if different architecture is being used. Otherwise, activation issues will arise.
Multiple architecture is supported in multiboot, so Windows 32-bit and 64-bit can be installed as multiboot environment, parallely.

Need To Find Product Key For Windows 8

It's my son's laptop and I bought it brand new in January 2013. It crashed two months later. I tried to get help through HP but to no avail. They told me to update the BIOS, which I did, and it worked for maybe a week and crashed again. I had a friend wipe it and start over twice after that because it just kept crashing. I then called HP, since it was still under warranty, to have them send me a new one since this one was obviously defective and the lady with whom I spoke said she would have someone call me back to help me. This never happened. I just gave up on it and bought another laptop in March 2013...the same exact brand, model, specs, etc. and have had absolutely NO problems with it since. I've since decided that it merely needs a new hard drive, which I am more than happy to purchase and install. It is the only thing my son has asked for as a Christmas present this year. The problem I have is that I don't have the product key for the OS. It came installed with Windows 8 and I have read through several other messages and understand that it is not something you can buy, however, I do believe, and feel that I am entititled, to have the product key so that I can properly fix my son's laptop. After all, it was a defective laptop/hard drive with which to begin and since HP support was actually of no support whatsoever HP should be willing to help with this situation. I have only ever used HP for desktops and laptops and have since 2001 and this is the first product I have purchased that was probelmatic.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi:
Microsoft did away with OEM product key stickers starting on all PC's that come with W8.
The OEM product key is now encoded into the BIOS in order to prevent it being used on other PC's.
So, your notebook does have a product key.
You just can't read it and if you order recovery media for the specific model notebook, or use a Windows 8 OEM installation disk you won't need the key.
It will automatically enter itself during the installation.

Where do I find the product key for win XP?

hI
I am new here.
I just purschased a Lenovo SL500 from Hemini.
I have a question that they wouldn't answer for me. Hopefully someone of you can.
My laptop came with windows XP installed and with CDs for installing Vista.
I chose to stay with XP.
The Windows sticker underneath the laptop is for Vista => the 25 digit Product Key it has on it is for Vista and won't work for "validating" my Windows XP and Windows Office software.
Nowhere in the package did I find any mention of a product key for the XP.
Please help me as to what I should do now.
Thank you.
Solved!

Hi Oingk,
Most [maybe all] computer manufacturers use volume license key to install and activate Windows:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_license_key
Preinstalled Windows OSes from lenovo come already activated, it's surprising that yours is not activated. I suggest contacting lenovo CS.
In case you did a clean install then you should have created recovery discs for XP first, these discs contain an image of preinstalled Windows [pre-activated] and other lenovo software:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68317
As for Microsoft Office, the version bundled with thinkpads is trial unless specifically ordered a license during purchase.
Hope it helps.
Maliha (I don't work for lenovo)
ThinkPads:- T400[Win 7], T60[Win 7], IBM 240[Win XP]
IdeaPad: U350
Apple:- Macbook Air [Snow Leopard]

How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell?
Thanks,
Tom

Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued. If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

Can I get product key for older versions of Illustrator with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition

I have purchased the Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition and I now need to install illustrator on Windows Vista. All the new versions are not available for Vista. I have managed to find older versions for download but it is asking me for a product key. Is it possible to get the product keys for older version with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition?

You cannot purchase older versions of Adobe software thru Adobe. If you have a full subscription you can acquire the CS6 version thru that. I have had CS6 running on a Vista system for years without problems.

Unable to recover product key for lightroom.

I have had to reboot my computer and lost product key for lightroom. Attempted to recover through Adobe but have changed myt email address a few months ago. Old email address deleted and cant get into old adobe account. Looked everywhere to email Adobe and ask for help but not succeeding.

Rather than trying to e-mail Adobe, using the Customer Service Chat button that is available near the bottom of many www.adobe.com <http://www.adobe.com> support pages, and probably on the page that lead you to these forums.
You should be able to look up a serial number by logging into www.adobe.com <http://www.adobe.com> using your old e-mail even if it isn’t working, anymore, as long as you know your password. If you cannot remember your password, then you may be stuck. You’ll also need to update your Adobe ID’s associated e-mail by contacting Adobe. Since the Adobe ID is used to license software they don’t want it to be easy for a hacker to take your software, or someone to share their license amongst several people by changing the Adobe ID account’s e-mail over and over.

Lost product key for my toshiba laptop

I need to reload windows vista, but i have lost my product key for my toshiba laptop,
Does anyone know if i can get a replacement and if i have to pay.

Hi
You could not lost the product key because the recovery disk is already activated.
So you dont need any keys to install the OS using the recovery disk.
But if you lost the recovery disk then you could order this from here:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
But its not for free you have to pay a small fee.

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.

Starter Pack now includes 60 day Eval product key for SLES

Q1: What is the Starter Pack?
The Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition Starter Pack is a product that provides a Customer with a no-cost, one-time, 5-user license for Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition. This is not a trial or evaluation license but a full product license.
Q2: Am I required to purchase Maintenance with the Starter Pack?
No!
Q3: Are all the NOWS SBE components and add-on products included with the Starter Pack?
No. Maintenance is required to obtain some of the component products and product updates. At one point there was a list of the additional products that were available to customers who purchased maintenance but I am unable to locate it, perhaps because NOWS SBE licenses can now only be purchased with maintenance.
Q4: What is the issue regarding product keys for SLES?
When NOWS SBE is installed, customers are required to enter product keys for each of these three products: NOWS SBE, OES, and SLES.
Product keys are normally included with most products when the product is delivered however SLES product keys work a little bit differently. A SLES product key allows access to patches and updates and is provided when a customer purchases maintenance. Novell will provide a temporary 60-day "Eval" product key when a customer downloads an Eval copy of SLES. This subtle distinction goes unnoticed when NOWS SBE is delivered because NOWS SBE licenses can only be purchased with maintenance.
Novell now delivers the Starter Pack with a 60-day Eval product key for SLES to allow customers to complete the NOWS SBE installation without having to purchase maintenance.
Q5: What do I do if I need licenses for more than 5 users?
Simply purchase as many additional groups of 5-user NOWS SBE licenses as you need. For example, if you had ten users, you could purchase the Starter Pack plus one additional 5-user NOWS SBE license.
Note: Since NOWS SBE 5-user licenses can only be purchased with maintenance and customers with maintenance must purchase maintenance for all licenses, you would be required (in this case) to purchase maintenance for the 5-user license obtained with the Starter Pack.
Q6: How do I get the Starter Pack? <customer>
Your Novell Reseller can provide additional information and order it for you. Some conditions apply.
Q7: How do I get the Starter Pack? <reseller>
The Starter Pack is ordered through your distributor and delivered electronically to your customer. You may find the following Novell product codes helpful:
Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition 2.5 Starter Pack 5-User License (873-010136)
Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition 2.5 5-User License + 1-Year Priority Maintenance (879-000923)
