CD key from Windows?

Can I use the CD key from a game I bought for a Windows PC to install the Mac version of the game from App Store? The game I am referring to is Star Wars: Empire at War, which I have an old copy of, but only for my old Windows PC.

I seriously doubt it. The MAS apps should have no connection with any other sources of similar products.

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.

Control key from Windows keyboard

Hello
I use VNC to remote control my mac mini (OS X 10.4.10) from my Windows laptop. However I cannot figure out how to emulate the Mac Control key from my Windows keyboard.
This is needed because I have multiple iTunes libraries on the mini, and on the Mac keyboard, you can ctrl-click the iTunes icon in the dock to select which library to open. When I'm on VNC controlling the Mac, the ctrl key on the Windows keyboard apparently does not equal the Mac ctrl key.
Alt on the Windows keyboard maps to the Command (Apple) key on the Mac keyboard, but Control doesn't seem to correspond.
Thanks

It seems I made a mistake on which key I need to selectively open a particular library when launching iTunes. It is the "Option" key on Mac, but I still can't find the proper key combination to do this when I VNC into the mac from Windows.
Thanks

Howto push option-key from windows with VNC?

I want to use OsX's internal VNC-server, so no 3rd party server software, please!
Tight VNC has been nicest client with windows, good zooming etc.
But how to use keyboard shortcuts with option-button?
Alt-button in windows client interprets itself as command-key to Mac and AltGr in win is Alt for Mac.
For example to reset Qmaster Preferences' services, you'll have to hover mouse on "Start Sharing" button and push Option to change the button to "Reset Services".
(I know that qmaster can be reset from command line, but there's lots of other uses for option-key also...)
Is there any way to do this?
Also it would be nice to have international keyboards supported in VNC.
Is this about server or client?

Try installing the Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) a free download
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16699>
The Mac OS X built-in VNC server works very well with the Mac OS X Screen Sharing application, however, I have found it does not play all that nice with every VNC client in the world.
However, the Vine Server has been around for a long time, works very well, uses the TightVNC protocols, and gives very good performance. I still use the Vine Server on my Mom's iMac connecting with my client configured for reduced colors and I get very good performance across slow internet connections.
Give the Vine Server a try. You can choose to run it as port 5900, or run it in parallel with the Mac OS X VNC server by configuring the Vine Server for port 5901 (or any port you want).

Adobe Photoshop CS3 from Windows Vista to Windows 8 Product Key Invalid

I switched my OS from Windows Vista to Windows 8.1 (Clean installation). On Windows Vista, I was running a trial version and tried my product key but it didnt work. On Windows 8.1 also, the product key didn't work. Now I can't check my version because I can't get past the product key screen. Please advice.

Hello,
I have bought Lenovo laptop with Windows 8 Single Language recently and it's showing the Windows 8.1 update is available.
My doubt in this regard is, While installing will is asks for product key or not.?
And whether the preinstalled apps like office13 McAfee will remain or removed from system..?

Hi,
If your PC is running Windows 8 or Windows RT, it's free to update to
Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1. And unlike previous updates to Windows, you'll get this update from the Windows Store.
For more information regarding update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 about destop apps/ user accounts and so on, please check:

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:

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs. I have tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling with no results.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

Upgraded OS from Windows 2000 to XP, now my Registration Key won't work

Any reason why my registration key won't work when I upgraded my OS from Windows 2000 to Windows XP? Oh, and I also upgraded the QuickTime application.

QuickTime 6.5 registration will not work with QuickTime 7.
You'll need to purchase a new "Pro" key or revert to QT 6.5 Pro.

Windows 8.1 automatically activating after installing product key from VAMT 3.1?

I use MAK keys (with the Count of 500 activations). I use the latest VAMT (3.1), and as soon as I "Install Product Key..." the target operating system will activate automatically without giving me the possibility to Proxy Activate and hence saving
the CID. Anybody knows if this has to do with Windows 8.1 or the VAMT 3.1 itself? In my eyes this makes VAMT useless, since I can't save the CID!!!!!!!
I just want to save the CID in the VAMT database already upon the first activation. I found some threads here on TechNet, but non of them seem to deal with the problem how to solve it within VAMT (or if there is some GPO to hinder the target OS go out to
the internet and activate automatically).
Please help me...

You open the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation
Where you set "Manual" to "1". I remember this from Windows 7 installations, that if manual was set to "0", that if would activate automatically after 3 Days. However, The grace period in Windows 8/8.1 is somehow different, it will start complaining directly
if OS is not activated. Since the computers are domain-joined, I can roll out this regkey-entry using GPO Preferences without too much of a hassle.
Found this regkey info from:
http://www.somethingsomewhere.net/disable-the-automatic-windows-8-activation/
Sorry for bothering you all with this thread. I will mark it as solved now.
