Need to recover lost Windows license associated with HP laptop

I have a HP G71-340US. I installed a separate copy of Windows 7 onto the laptop. I wish to find my Windows Product ID number (Serial Number) from my set of install disks which I've lost. Is there some way to send my laptop serial number in (CNF94607F9) and obtain the Windows Product ID number so I can use the license I own by virtue of my purchase of that laptop?
Thank you,
Greg Alexander

If you wiped clean the original O/S then your only chance is the Product Key sticker on the bottom side of the laptop to activiate your Windows otherwise you will have to order the REcovery media to restore your system back to factory setup.

  • How to recover lost product license keys and not just Microsoft licenses?

    Which products have you tried?  Have you looked at Magic Jelly Bean?  Depending on the OS and software, some keys are not retrievable.  You should also know that certain software are not transferable from one PC to another, reference the license terms of each for clarification. 

    There are so many products out there that claim to recover lost software license keys and all of the ones I've tried either recover only MS license keys or no keys at all.  I'm trying to recover keys from my fathers old system to install on his new one and some of the products he used do not have the keys available.  Anyone out there with a viable product key recovery tool that will get back more than just MS license keys?
    My father will be greatly pleased.

  • Recovering lost Windows 7 64bit

    Hello,
    I received a HP Pavilion g6-1325sa Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit laptop for my birthday about 2-3 years ago now and a situation happened a while back which forced me to wipe my hard drive completely, removing the Windows operating system in the hard drive entirely and made me go to Ubuntu as I had no OS. I am now trying to recover my Windows 7 operating system and am having some issues trying to find the right place. I went to the Windows website and tried to download the right operating system and typed in my serial number for the licence that is still on the bottom of my laptop. Windows gave me an error saying that HP are the ones who I need to contact to get back my operating system. Looking through the website, all I get are tutorials on how to restore a laptop with Windows 7 already on it or irrelevant tutorials along those lines, but nothing that helps me. Am I missing the page where I type in my serial number and get back my OS or are HP going to try make me pay for a whole new OS, regardless of the fact that I still have the code for my old one?
    Any help is much appreciated,
    James

    What you need is recovery disks and the key (not serial) that is on the COA sticker on the bottom of the computer or maybe in the battery compartment.
    If you did not create recovery disks when you got the computer then you will have to order them.
    If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the WorldWide site:  http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

  • Help! Need to recover lost hard drive data after creating a partition!

    So, I'm the world's biggest idiot, and I was trying to reformat my hard drive so that I could bring the documents from my Mac to my PC.
    All of the docs were perfectly organized in folders and subfolders a long time ago, and once that had been done, I deleted everything off of the MacBook itself. I never thought I'd have to move all of the docs to a PC, but alas, nothing ever goes the way we plan now does it?
    Anyways, I created a FAT 32 partition not realizing it would delete everything I already had on the hard drive, so now I need to recover all of that.
    Is there ANY way that I can recover all the data I lost?
    Pls respond.

    When you create a partition, the partition is the erased so all content is lost.  There are data recovery services that may be able to recover the material, but they are very, very expensive, if they can even succeed with this kind of erasure.
    Check and see if there are any hard drive data recovery services in your area.

  • TS2446 I have an itunes account that has lost it's association with my email address, password or birthdate doesn't work.  How do I fix this?

    My email address is no longer associated with my itunes account/MacID.  I think this happened when I created an account for my new iphone and used the same email address.  Now I've forgotten my password and can't seem to reset it.  When I tell it to send me a new password via email it never shows up.  When I try to do it by answering questions it doesn't accept my answers.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT204022 I need to change my email address associated with my icloud account. How do I do that?

    How do I change the email address associated with my icloud account?

    The OP asked how to change the email address that is associated with their iCloud account.
    To sign into your iCloud account you use your Apple ID.
    Therefore if you want to change the email address or Apple ID you sign into iCloud with, you need to change your Apple ID.
    If your question is how to change your primary iCloud Mail email address, AFAIK, you cannot as it is linked to and is an alias for your Apple ID. You can create an email alias. Alias can be changed and deleted.
    iCloud: Create or change email aliases

  • Help! I need to recover "lost" aif tracks

    I've looked for topics that might help me with my problem, but I haven't seen anything that matched.
    Here's what happened: I recorded a podcast with three tracks (using a mixer -- I've done this many, many times with no problem), and at the end of the recording (after stopping and saving) I clicked some button that made the spinning beach ball appear (I think I hit the "go to beginning of track" button, but this explains nothing). While waiting I may have accidentally clicked another button. Anyway, the three tracks I had just recorded and saved disappeared. GarageBand would NOT let me undo whatever I had done, and when I went to quit it did NOT ask if I wanted to save changes. I quit and restarted GarageBand, and the tracks were still missing.
    At this point, I assumed all hope was lost. BUT! When I "get info" on the .band file, it shows that the file is a little over 500MB (the recording was about half an hour, so this is the size it should be), and even more interestingly, when I copy the file to another drive, the progress window shows that it is copying three .aif files ("Recording#01.aif" "Recording#02.aif" and "Recording#03.aif" -- one for each track). So I know those tracks are in there somewhere, I just can't access them or get them to appear in GarageBand.
    Does anyone have any ideas to help me get these aif files out of the .band file? I looked all over for some kind of extraction program, but the only one I found (BandToLogic) I could not get to run. Any help, ideas, suggestions, hunches, suspicions welcome! I am desperate to recover this podcast, which is an interview that cannot be redone! Thank you in advance.

    glad to hear it worked for you and you were able to rescue your work, a working solution is always the best news to hear in a thread
    however be cautious with this knowledge ... this was an extreme case, you couldn't have really broken what was already broken. messing with the package contents of a working file puts the integrity of that file at risk, and it's possible to break a file and lose a lot of work

  • Help needed to recover lost photos, please!

    Please help!  All 49,537 photos in our iPhoto library have suddenly disappeared.  A hopeful fact is that the 512 gigs they recently filled has not reappeared on Finder as available space. Might someone out there in the ether be able to help?  Please?

    If your profile is correct about the library and system versions apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager 3.8.6 and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • NEED TO RECOVER A DATABASE USING RMAN with CONTROL FILE AND NO RMAN CATALOG, DISK FAILURE..

    Hello All,
    The disk failure caused our production data on the disk to be resotred with the backup data available and recovered through RMAN with cotrolfile , and no catalog DB is configured.
    I had the restored the spfile and control file then recovered the database,
    startup nomount;
    RESTORE SPFILE FROM ' path '  ;
    Shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount
    Restore controfile from autobackup;
    restore database;
    [AT POINT , A MESSAGE PROMPTED LIKE " failur of restored command - some targets not found"  (thinking may be few archives are not found, i proceeded to incomeplete recovery of DB) ]
    recover database;
    Finished reocvery .
    Now in the Grid control i see that 60 blocks of a particular datafile are corrupted and needs recovery. Do i need to get the data file resotred again and recover it or any simple way to recover this data file
    When i perform the block recovery , it says recovery failed and when i run the data file recovery it succeeds. Please provide you inputs to recover the database as it is production BI database and pretty critical to our client.
    Thanks for your valuable time in advance.
    Regards,
    Ran G.

    These is a common problem if the object are created due to NOLOGGIN option. If you check most of the object which are facing block corruption is indexes .
    Use the below query to check the objects :
    It will map each block from v$database_block_corruption to either a segment or if the block is free.
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    set pagesize 2000
    set linesize 250
    SELECT e.owner, e.segment_type, e.segment_name, e.partition_name, c.file#
    , greatest(e.block_id, c.block#) corr_start_block#
    , least(e.block_id+e.blocks-1, c.block#+c.blocks-1) corr_end_block#
    , least(e.block_id+e.blocks-1, c.block#+c.blocks-1)
    - greatest(e.block_id, c.block#) + 1 blocks_corrupted

  • Need to Re-install Windows on Mac with boot camp

    I purchased a Mac Pro from someone about 6 months ago that already had a 2nd drive with Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro running on it. Today for the first time when I booted into Windows, I got an error message saying that I "may be a victim of software counterfiting" and that my version of Windows is not an authorized version in my region.
    I have an a genuine Windows XP Pro disc with seriel that I want to now re-install over the bad version. The problem is when I try to run the CD for install, I get an error message stating that I cannot install from the CD because the version of Windows I am currently running is newer than that on the CD.
    So my question is, how do I uninstall the bad version of Windows and re-install the version off the CD? I know I will lose my files and programs but everything is backed up and I will reinstall everything when I get back up and running.
    Thanks for the help!!

    You can format from Windows CD if that is what you mean by "windows side."
    Updates are usually done while boot in the OS you want to 'upgrade' while custom is only done booted from other media.
    With a Mac Pro you could easily install in many different ways than if you only had a laptop or imac.
    But you can't "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps."
    I don't even like upgrade of SL while booted in Mac OS.
    If it was my Mac I'd install Windows 7 and make better use of your hardware and the performance afforded.

  • Help, Is there anyway to "unsave" slides....Need to recover lost work.

    HELP! Is there anyway to "unsave". I accidently hit save on the wrong keynote file I had open and it overwrote all the slides I had done up to that point. A ton of lost work.
    Is there anyway to recover those slides. I'm new to Mac.
    Thank you!!

    As long as the file is still open, you should be able to "undo" past the save point. Once you've saved the file and reopened, though, that information is no longer available in memory.
