HP says my product is illegal?

I purchased sealed pack of  hp probook 4530 (XU015UT#ABA) an year back from computer shop in Gujrat ,India , seller gave me a bill of his shop  .last month accidently i lost recovery partition and all data . I phoned Hp for support but they told me tha sir this product is not registerd on your name and this product has been purchased in USA . they asked invoice copy for service. later hp called back and asked for my personnel information but fearing any problem I did not give them any information. I want to know is my product illegal? Can I get support from HP ?

I suspect it was grey import, US model purchased by a supplier your seller uses then resold to you.
You can get recovery discs from HP but not free.
You can however get the Windows image for free if Windows 7 for reinstall of OS if this is what is needed & use the serial on base of notebook for activating it.
Any drivers & software can be downloaded for free from HP support & drivers
If you are on W7 you can use Windows inbuilt backup image tool to create your own recovery making the need of HP recovery discs obsolete if hard to get in your region ...
This model could also of been xp pro or vista & legal issue of these OS's is not so easy ...

  • How to stop Windows Explorer 8 refusing to download Firefox? It says this is an illegal action

    I have a new-to-me 2008 Dell laptop running Explorer8 for Windows XP(SP3). I try to download Firefox, which we use in all our other computers as browser, and it refuses to download the files, saying this is an illegal action, and it kicks me offline. How do I neutralize Explorer8, which apparently is not willing to die peacefully, download Firefox, then change to Firefox as default browser without a laptop meltdown?

    You can download the Firefox installer to a USB flash drive or CD-RW at a public library or a friend's house or a colleague's PC. Just make sure that if you have a different OS (e.g., Windows vs. Mac) that you get the correct version. You can use the "all" page for that:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    You also may want to grab some anti-malware tools while you're at it in case the process rejecting Firefox is not IE itself but an infiltrator. These two tools are highly regarded:

  • Adobe Products Sold Illegally

    I do not appreciate being a victim, but that was my experience after purchasing Adobe's Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop Elements 11 from an unauthorized dealer, TechNetMicro.com.   I was directed to their site using a competitive pricing Web site.  Despite TechNetMicro having the appearances of being a legitimate vendor, I called first to verify what they were offering.  Thus far it all seemed very promising, so I placed the order.  I promptly received the two software applications in proper Adobe packaging and successfully installed Photoshop; but that was not the case with Premiere.  The Premiere disc either had no content whatsoever, or the content was completely unreadable (verified by two other PCs).  I immediately phoned TechNetMicro about the problem and they agreed to send me another copy.  But when I attempted to install it, another problem occurred.  Despite the disc having content and initiating an installation, the provided key code was invalid.  When I phoned TechNetMicro again, the service agent continued putting me on infinite hold no matter how many times I called.  They were obviously avoiding me.
    I soon contacted Adobe about my experience, as well as the Better Business Bureau, both taking an interest, but would / could not compensate me for any loss since the vendor I chose was unauthorized.
    A few months later when starting Photoshop Elements 11, an Adobe applet appeared requesting that I re-enter the key code for activation, but the key code provided with the product no longer was being accepted.  Apparently I had been sold a trial version of that software.
    How does a customer know if a vendor is authorized or not to sell an Adobe product?  You cannot simply accept a vendor's word.  The only method of insuring whether Adobe has sanctioned a vendor is through Adobe.  So where does Adobe provide this list of sanctioned vendors, or a listing of those that are known to be unauthorized and / or committing illegal sales of Adobe products? Apparently, none exists for public viewing.  Providing such lists would greatly improve the Adobe experience when seeking their products at competitive prices.  It would greatly lessen the chance of purchasing and spreading corrupted, trial-only, illegal versions of Adobe software.
    Providing lists of authorized and unauthorized dealers would only enhance the integrity of Adobe and increase public awareness to a pervasive problem.

    Vrye
    We are not Adobe here. We are just Premiere Elements users trying to help other Premiere Elements users with their Premiere Elements workflows. The issues with your Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 purchases are best addressed to Adobe Marketing/Legal and the Better Business Bureau. They are the only ones that I see that can give you the support and recovery that you seek.

  • I am trying to Install CS5.5 on a new computer and it is saying my product key is valid but a qualifying product cannot be found.

    I have Adobe CS 5.5 with a valid product key (On the original box) but it wont install on my new work computer. This product is owned by my company and has been used in the past on my old computer.
    I enter the product key and get the customary Green Check Mark:
    [image removed by moderator]
    I Click "Next" and it displays the screen below. I do not have any CS 5.5 programs installed on this computer. (It is brand new - opened and set up this morning)
    I used this disk to install CS5.5 on my previous computer which has crashed and did not need to Upgrade anything. I do not have any other product keys to use for the second box and I have found nothing on this problem in the forums.
    Any help is appreciated, I am at a loss.

    Never share your serial number in a public forum or other non-private communication.
    For the second image you show you need to follow the instructions.
    You copy of CS5.5 appears to be an upgrade version.  THis means it was made available at a reduced price because you had an earlier version that you upgraded from.  The second image you show is asking you to provide the information for that older version as proof that you qualify to activate/use the new one.

  • HT201364 trying to download os x mavericks and i get an error saying "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." how do i fix this so i can update my new macbook pro?

    "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    please help! i want to update my computer!!!

    "Update your new MacBook Pro"?
    Well, if your MacBook Pro is new, it already has Mavericks installed and there is nothing to update.
    Go to the Menu Bar, and click the Apple logo.  Then click "About This Mac."  Does it show OS X 10.9 or 10.9.1?
    If so you are already running Mavericks.
