New motherboard can i reuse my OEM product key

is it possible to use the windows 7 product key from my PC that came with the old motherboard on a new motherboard that i have right now and then use my upgrade key that i used earlier on the other motherboard to upgrade to windows 8 again with the same
key? or would i have to buy a new windows 7 key and then use the upgrade key to get 8 again or.. would i just have to buy a whole new windows 8 key... i don't exactly make the largest amount of money i just got a new motherboard and CPU for my birthday i have
the same harddrive same everything else except the mobo and cpu  

Hi,
I agree with britishdhez.
In addition, normally the OEM Windows license is tied to the motherboard. It could not work with new motherboard.
Meanwhile, you can post to Windows 7 Genuine Advantage forum to get more insights.
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=genuinewindows7
Or, you’d better to contact the laptop manufacturer directly to consult the issue. In this way, your issue can be fixed efficiently.
Hope it helps.

  • Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

    I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks.  The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed.  I wish
    to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8.  Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation? 
    If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
    This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

    Technically, no.  The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system.  It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
    You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM.  A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
    Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
    Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
    A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
    for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
    You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
    The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

    Where can i find my windows product key ? am I not allowed to know this these days ?

    If you bought  a notebook with Windows 8, there are no product key stickers anymore.
    The key is now digitally encoded in the BIOS.
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/windows-8-to-have-oem-activation-3-0/
    I don't have a notebook that came with windows 8, so I don't know if you can see it in the BIOS or not but that would the place to look.

  • Can you buy serial codes/product keys for CS3?

    Im looking to buy CS3 (please don't ask why not CS4 or 5), off of a friend who has a genuine copy which has never been installed. He has lost manuals and the product keys. He says i can buy a product key for it?
    Is this right, or a load of rubbish? I really need CS3 but not sure what i can do without the serial code in the box?
    thanks

    oh, so the serial is stickered onto the back of the box?

  • Have Windows OEM Product Key -but key is not accepted when Installing New Windows 8.1 Disk

    I was able to secure the Product Key for what I thought was a Windows 8.1 OS on my Toshiba notebook.  I believe my notebook ORIGINALLY had an OEM version of 8.0 (was pre-loaded when I bought the notebook) but at some point I updated the OS to 8.1.  I
    was able to verify that I was currently using 8.1 via the Bios set-up utility.  After securing the product key, I contacted Microsoft and they agreed to send me 32 and 64 bit versions of Window 8.1 free of charge (so as long as I covered the shipping.)
    When I went to install the  8.1 disk, I received a message stating that the product key didn't work.  I can't help but wonder IF perhaps because my PC originally came with 8.0 that it's product key won't work with 8.1?  When Microsoft asked
    WHICH version I had on my PC, I had advised that I was using 8.1. They never asked what was the ORIGINAL OS?
    Any ideas?

    thanks for replies.  I suppose it would be helpful for me to explain why I needed the product key and the new Microsoft Windows 8.1 discs in the first place.  This was never a matter of merely trying to activate the OS.  Last week- my
    notebook went in to standby mode- a very normal process when I would step away from the notebook for a decent amount of time.  When I tried touched the power button to release it from stand by, I received a message that the OS was not able to start up
    due to TWO (very specific) files that were either missing or had been corrupted.  The message recommended re-installing the OS in order to re-insalll or otherwise correct the file errors.  I spent a good 3-4 hours researching this on a number of
    Microsoft/ IT sites, and it appeared this was a very common error -stemming from "boot disk error" -or "errors with hard drive/ partitions".  I then began my trek to a) locate the product key (of which I was able to secure from the BIOS) and b) have Microsoft
    send me the Windows 8.1 discs.  Hope this helps and thanks again.

  • I have 2008 microsoft office with three license keys. i bought my daughter a new make and wiped her older mac. question is when i did this it says there are too many users for program  how can i figure out where product key is

    I have microsoft officemac w 3 licenses. I have one key on one computer and the second key on another. Problem I bought daughter new mac (3rd computer) and put on key on her new computer. With her old computer we wiped it to back to factory etc. Then I added a product key for officemac on old
    est computer. Now when I use my wiped computer it comes up saying that all product keys are taken. How do I check to see if she has the same key number as the old one I have? I have paid for three but her computer and my old one must have the same key number. I need help in checking key numbers so I can set it right. Thanks

  • Windows 8.1 install won't accept OEM product key

    I downloaded the Windows 8.1 RTM ISO from TechNet today and wanted to test it on a Thinkpad W530 I have here that has a Windows 8 Pro OEM licence.
    When I mounted the ISO and ran the setup it's prompting for a product key. I'm confused because my understanding is the product key is stored in the UEFI bios and I was expecting the 8.1 setup to detect it. During the original Windows 8 installation it never
    prompted for the product key and activated without issue.
    I've checked my product keys on TechNet and I have 3 unclaimed keys for 8.1 that I assume would work but It'd be preferable for me to retain my OEM licence.
    I used Magic Jellybean to obtain the OEM key but the 8.1 setup won't accept it and returns "That key can't be used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key." 
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    OEM activation is performed by associating the operating system to the firmware of the computer. This process occurs before the computer is sent to the customer so that the software is already activated and no additional actions are required by the user.
    OEM activation remains valid as long as the customer uses the OEM-provided image on the computer.
    So, if you want to clean install Windows 8.1, you need to input the Windows 8.1 install key to accomplish the Windows installation, after that you can try to activate your system by network or Phone. Meanwhile, I want to know did you got any Windows 8.1
    product key when you download Windows 8.1 from TechNet? If so, you can try to use them when you install Windows 8.1.

  • OEM Product Key will not activate

    Hey,
    Recently my HP laptop had some hardware issues and i had to get the parts replaced. Thereafter I tried reinstalling windows and activating but not being able to do so. I contacted MS Support earlier and told them what happened, we troubleshooted for about an hour and he told me that because the parts were replaced the Key is pointing at the old hardware Product ID's and that he could try override it. That however also failed. He then said that I should contact HP for a replacement key.
    I can't find my laptop in the support section and I've decided to post in the forums instead.
    If anyone can help me i'll really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    This seems identical to the problems I'm having. I get a message from MS every time I boot up that states my copy of WIndows is "not genuine". Two days with MS led to the statement that I must contact HP for a new product key. They didn't know why it wasn't working, but after reading this thread I'll bet I do: I replaced my HDDs with SSDs. 
    The "system" screen shows that my software is 'activated' but that's apparently not good enough. I can enter my product key into the appropriate screen, and am then again told that the key is good and windows is activated. But - the error message from MS continues to ignore. As I understand the message, I won't be able to get product updates until this is resolved.
    Any help gratefully accepted!

    OK put this way HP doesn't own the Product Key only MS can help you with that and you must contact them if your not using the Product Key that came with the O/S install. Beyond that HP can't help you obtain a Product Key.

  • 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.

    Hi!
    From what I can understand, this is in a bit of a "gray zone", showing the key isn't illegal, but if you plan on using it again, when doing a re-install of the system it isn't allowed, or use it on another computer for that matter,
    In these cases, you should use the recovery media that is shipped with your computer or download it from the manufacturer.
    The OEM
    recovery media should match the product version originally preinstalled on the system; no other image may be used to restore the system to its original
    state.
    I would contact MS and see what they are saying, depending
    on what you need the key for of course:

  • Switching from PC to Mac - Can I use my old product key?

    I just upgraded to CS4 with my Windows version software and now I'm switching to a MAC system. I know I can run Windows in bootcamp and use my old software but I would like to know if there's any way to use my Windows key to activate the MAC software?
    I'm moving to a MAC to get away from a broken OS so I'd rather use Adobe Suite in its MAC version.
    Do I have to buy another whole CS4 Suite to switch to the MAC version or is there something else I can do?

    If you are going to do this then do it before the next upgrade as then you won't be able to get the Mac version of CS4 for just a transfer fee. I tried this and was told I was too late and had to purchase the full CS4 Mac version at $1700 because they didn't support CS3!
