Portege R500 - Does Toshiba sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

Hi
I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
I have now installed a Windows 7 version without activation to see if all drivers work (Windows 8 is not supported as far as I know).
All looks good and Windows is telling me now as expected it is not genuine and offers me to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems MS does not sell Windows 7 anymore).
Does Toshiba sell OEM licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 ?
It would be a shame to throw it away because of that.
Thank you
Markus

Toshiba offers notebooks with preinstalled recovery image and offered version is activated. With other words when you buy notebook you buy also valid licence for preinstalled OS version.
Toshiba supports newer operating systems too. As you can see on Toshiba download page you can find drivers, tools and utilities for Win7 64bit and use them after Win7 installation.
Unfortunately Toshiba doesn't offer licence for it. All you must do it to obtain Win7 64bit with valid licence.

  • Licensing for Windows Virtual Desktops (VDI) - do I need Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses?

    Hello.  I am trying to figure out what type of licenses I need to achieve the following:
    - Windows Server 2008 R2 running Hyper-V
    - 25 virtual desktop on Hyper-V running Windows 7 Professional
    Do I need a "full" license of Windows 7 Professional for each virtual machine, AND another license (let's say maybe Windows 7 Starter) running on the actual PC's that the users will be using?
    I came across this article regarding Virtual Desktop Access licenses, do I need that?  Or would I be fine just purchasing 1 copy of Windows 7 for each PC?  In that case should I choose Starter or Professional?  The desktop PC's that users
    are using are older Pentium 4's so I wanted to keep the load on them minimal.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    To be honest its really difficult to understand what you try to install or what software you need.
    You said something about Toshiba Quad Core HD CPU.
    Please note that not all G50 Qosmio notebooks support this feature.
    So it would be very interesting to know what G50-xxx you have exactly
    PS; Toshiba European driver page provides the Win 7 drivers for G50 as well.
    In order to use the Toshiba Quad Core HD CPU you need to install the HD Processor Driver and HD Console as well.
    The Toshiba HD Processor is a co-processor specialized for media streaming processes (real-time image processing such as image processing and image recognition) and the Toshiba HD Console displays the usage for each core in the Toshiba HD Processor and allows applications which use the HD Processor to be started

  • Portege R500 and Toshiba Optical Tilt-Wheel Mouse

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my Portege R500 combined with my Toshiba Optical Tilt-Wheel Mouse. I use Win XP Pro SP2.
    During notebook usage the mouse will be disconnected. If I plug out the mouse and plug in another USB port, I can use the mouse for a while, but it halts not longer.
    Later comes the same problem, but a reconnect to another USB port doesnt work.
    I use the original driver of Microsoft win xp.
    Bye hoody

    Did you receive the special XP driver together with this mouse?
    If yes then install it.
    But from my knowledge its common USB mouse which should use a plugn play device
    So possibly you should check the USB settings.
    Go to the device manger and open the USB bus controller tree
    There you should mark the single USB root hubs and should select properties.
    In the power management tab disable the function Allow the computer to turn off this device
    Furthermore I recommend updating the XP to the latest state; I mean all hotfixes and patches should be installed!!
    Good luck

  • Does apple sell OEM iphone 4s battery?

    have done some searching and I cant find anything like this on the apple stores (useless) website.   I don't want to get a low quality battery and I'm not ready to change phones yet.  I (somewhat) trust that apple will sell a good battery instead of 1000's of other choices that will last only a few weeks.   my orig batt is 2.5 yrs old
    thanks

    Apple does not sell replacement parts nor are there any user serviceable
    components in an iPhone. Apple does offer battery replacement
    in some countries. Contact Apple for your location to find out the details and
    cost involved. If you can get to a physical Apple store, replacement can be done
    on the spot. Make an appointment before going to avoid delay.

  • How do I get a license for Window Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder?

    I downloaded the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder for Visual Studio 2005, but the trial license is no longer available. How do I go about getting a license for this product? How much is it?

    We purchase our platform builder and run time licenses from MDS Pacific, they cover the India, South East Asia and Oceania regions.
    The cost is around US$1300 (from what I remember) for platform builder, this includes a copy of Visual Studio (at least it does for WEC2013).
    The cost for the run time license that needs to go with the devices you produce is around US$5 per license, but this very much depends on the quantity you are producing and the OS components that you are using.
    If you are not in any of these regions, there is a company called Bsquare who operate in the US and Europe and other parts of Asia.

  • Server 2012 Standard license and VM license for windows instances

    Hi,
    A question about VM instances on standard server 2012 license exists here 
    I  cannot link it here as my account is not verified. The topic is titled "Windows Server 2012 Standard License and VMs"
    My question is tad different...
    If I understand this correctly, 1 windows server standard license provides support for 1 Physical Operating System Environment (The VM Host /  POSE) and permission to run 2 Virtual Operating System Environment(VOSE).
    Does this imply that I can install 2 additional instances of Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on the permitted 2 VM instances on the server? Or... should I purchase additional licenses for each VOSE that runs windows?
    Does the standard license provide rights to run  2 Virtual instances AND offer install and activation rights for 2 MS windows (virtual) environments AND install and activation rights for the windows host?
    If license is require for each instance of server 2012 running on the VM ... can I avoid purchasing additional licenses for operating systems, say, if I run 2 Centos operating system instances in 2 VOSE?
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    Licensing questions should be asked of a trained Microsoft licensing specialist.  I haven't seen one of those lurking in this forum.  www.microsoft.com/licensing.
    That said, licenses are assigned to the physical host, not to VMs.  The License you assign to the host grants you the "right to run" addition virtual operating system environments running Windows Server.  It does not grant you additional licenses. 
    Licensing for Microsoft Windows Server operating system is controlled by Microsoft.  Licensing for any other operating system is not covered by the virtualization rights of the Windows Server operating system.  Therefore, if the CentOS virtual machines
    are properly licensed by whoever licenses them, you can run however many instances that license allows.
    A single Standard Edition license can be installed on the physical host granting you the right to run up to two virtual instances of Standard Edition.  However, if you run additional services, such as file services or Active Directory or IIS, etc.,
    on the physical instance, that means you can only run one additional virtual instance of Windows Server.
    Free advice is worth every cent.

  • Are LabView licenses for Windows transferrable to Mac OS X?

    I can't seem to find any information on this subject on the National Instruments or in a search on this forum, so hopefully someone can answer these questions.
    My lab has 3 licenses for the use of LabView 8.5 in our lab, although the instructions that I've been given to install LabView involve downloading the trial software from National Instruments' website, and then using the activation code to activate the software. Trouble is, the trial software is for Windows only, and I was hoping to be able to run LabView on the Mac in our lab.
    Are the licenses for LabView transferrable across platforms, or does my lab need to specifically purchase a version of LabView for the Mac? If the licenses *are* transferrable, how do I request a CD for the Mac installers if we've already purchased LabView for Windows? Furthermore, if I'm able to use these licenses on a Mac, is it possible to install the Windows version on my Mac on my Boot Camp partition, and install the Mac version on my Mac OS X partition and only use up one license? I'm not sure if all of our hardware has drivers that will run under Mac OS X on an Intel Mac, and I don't want to be penalized for this by having to use up two licenses on the same machine.
    Any answers to these questions would be much appreciated.

    Hi SimX,
    The LabVIEW licenses are not transferrable directly, since LabVIEW for Windows and LabVIEW for Mac are entirely different products and have different installers.
    In this case, you should contact your local sales representative to see what your options are. You can find the email contact information at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me?p_lang_id=us, or call in to 866-ASK-MYNI (866-275-6964).

  • Can't install the Toshiba HD DVD Player for Windows 7 - 64 Bit

    Notebook: Toshiba Qosmio G40 with windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
    I can't install the HD DVD Player Driver from Toshiba for Windows 7 - 64 Bit 4.60.03 from 30/11/09 !
    The installation will be cancel with information that the software can not be installed on this system.

    Problem is that this file you have downloaded is not the player but just an update.
    Usually you should be able to install player designed for Vista and later install this upgrade but, as I can see, Toshiba doesnt offer HD DVD player for Vista 64-bit.
    I presume your notebook was delivered with Vista 32-bit only. Am I right about that?

  • Does the lnkfix_vista.zip work for window server 2008 R2 enterprise ?

    All icons on my exchange 2010 server show as .lnk, any icon I click on starts notepad... does the lnkfix_vista.zip work on Windows server 2008 R2 enterprise ?
    thank you.

    This issue because there is no SPN for the Front End pool FQDN. Rather than adding an SPN I just deleted my front end server from the topology builder and added a new one using the FQDN of the actual lync server and it worked fine.

  • SB Live! (DELL OEM) driver for Windows 7

    I've just installed Win7 on my Dell Dimension 4600 which has an on-board Creative SB Li've! (Dell OEM) device.
    Everything has installed ok but I'm pulling my hair out trying to resolve the Windows 7?driver requirements for this device. The DELL Resource CD doesn't seem to provide the drivers and the supplied and the original Sound Blaster Li've! CD that came with ther system doesn't find the device.
    I've looked all over the place for a windows 7 driver for this device but without success.
    Failing this, I was thinking of purchasing a Creative Sound Blaster 5. VX PCI card but would like to know if this device is Windows 7 compatible.
    Steve

    , In all sincerity, the SB Li've is simply too old of a card to install for Windows 7. The card would only have basic functions anyway. You should check on Ebay for an X-FI of some sort and I truly believe you would get 3 to 4 years out of that card or the life of Windows 7.
    Any money you spent on that card has long come back to you as old as that card is. You can buy an X-FI from $30 to $50 on ebay, and I have done it for MANY friends and family.
