Product Key - finding

Hi,
i am an owner of Photoshop Elements 6. I know, I know, it is old, right? I need to move it to another computer but i can't find the original CD and the product key. Is there a way that i can look on the PS program i have on my old computer for the product key and also, can i move the files from the old computer over to the new one and run the install application to install it on the new computer? the old OS is xp and the new is Win 7.
Any tips or help about this would be appreciated!
thansk!

You can find your serial number by going to the main page of adobe.com>my adobe (unless you never registered it), but unfortunately you can't move the files that way. You need the original installation media to do a fresh install.

Can't find 2011 Microsoft Office product key after using Time Machine

I just upgraded my macbook pro to a 512gb crucial ssd. In order for me to do this without downloading any other software off the internet, I bought an external drive and had time machine back up everything. I installed the SSD, started up the computer and had time machine do its thing and booted everything up onto the ssd. Everything went perfectly up, until I went to open up any Microsoft Office application because they required I put in the product key. The last time I put in the product key was when I first bought the macbook pro about 4 years ago(I installed everything using the disc). What I tried to do was boot the computer using the old hard drive and we have the same story.... I need a product key that I don't have. I even tried installing a product key finder and it found no Microsoft Office product key.
Tomorrow my plan is to use time machine to bring me back to the couple minutes before I setup the new SSD. Before I do that, I want to know what your opinions are on this matter or more importantly, what should I do?
Thanks in advance.

Read the instructions that came with your PIN - they tell you how to get the Product Key from the MS Shop (I think it comes from there, anyhow!)
This link may work... https://office2010.getmicrosoftkey.com/
If not, please repost your query in the more appropriate Office Community forums here...

Windows 7 product key

Had a hard drive failure on my laptop and during a hose move my recovery disks were damaged, I installed windows 7 but my product key on the bottom of the laptop is severely worn away and cannot be made out, does anyone know the volume oem licence key attached to a windows 7 recovery disk as Microsoft will generate me a new key providing I have the volume key to put into my laptop first. Any help will be great. Thanks.

1. When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, no product key is necessary. Windows is preactivated.
2. If Windows runs, you can get it this way.

HP DV6 Laptop - How do I find my Windows 7 Product Key

Model: DV6-1149WM
Product: LW264UAR#ABA
I purchased a new hard drive for my laptop. I want to install a clean version of Windows 7 on this hard drive. The Windows product key sticker is badly worn on the bottom of my laptop and I can only make out a little more than half the characters on it. Where can I find the Windows 7 product key? I tried to use an app to find it but it only finds a generic key since it was an OEM install. Can you please tell me how I can find my product key? I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my new hard drive so I don't want to install it from any kind of recovery disk. Thanks in advance for your help.

How to find Windows 8.1 product key on the laptop?

I have a problem since doing the windows updates. My laptop seams to have erased everything off my hard drive, I have a legitimate windows 8 disk to reinstall it but no product key, is there anyway to find it on the laptop?
I have tried doing the regedit, but can't seam to find it any where

When you buy new notebook and get it with preinstalled OS you will get one valid version that includes valid product key.
With other words original version that you got with your machine will be properly activated. Product key belongs to this original version only and you cannot use it for activation if you want to install own OS version.
For your Win8 version you must pick up product key from Microsoft.
Of course you can have original OS version again but you must order it by Toshiba - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Well hp is no help at all I was on the phone with Microsoft and hp had both remotely hook up to my laptop to no avail, and had several chats with hp and Microsoft support on line. Support runs on a script and if your issue is not on that scrip they are reading from good luck! Here is what happened with my laptop, Product name: HP ENVY TS 17 Notebook PC, Product number: E4S14UA#ABA, Serial number: {Private Information Removed} windows preinstalled. I updated to windows pro to get media center and worked fine, and reformatted with the disk I ordered from hp and worked fine 2 times. Went and up dated to windows 8.1 and I did not like it could not uninstall it so I reformatted with the hp disk once more, well then the lap top would not activate and to find out the key was blocked by Microsoft, called Microsoft once more and they said they block keys once in a while, and then they give new keys to people who purchase a key from them, and that I needed to get one from my pc manufacture which is hp. In the numerous chats emails ect. hp could not understand that concept, and was down to repeating themselves in chat, copying what they just typed and pasting it in the chat box lol I do not know if they were not thinking or that's all they had. When hp had started to copy and paste repeat text in chat I told them I was done stick me with a fork and ended the chat. The reply person sent an email saying I would have to send my laptop in and they would have to take it apart and work on the system board for a key just a key. So I saved them money on shipping and tech support, I paid 119.99 I think it was may been 119.00 and send hp several notices to pay, I will try a few more times I have the address to their billing in CA and will send a few there. If I get no place I will take them to small claims court, and if hp wants to pay someone to show up and loose for 119.00 then great. With the new key laptop works fine. Good luck with hp lol.

What is and where do I find my product key #

I need to log-in to certain sites for my job. A couple have requested that I enter my 25 character product key #. I do not know what this is or where to find it. I'm running off a Firefox program with Windows 7 software on my laptop. Please help.....Thankyou.......

I wouldn't advice to enter the Windows product key on a website, even if they ask for it.<br />
If someone else uses your product key then MS may invalidate yours.<br />
I can't imagine that a site needs to know that key.<br />
Do these sites use specific software?<br />
Do you trust those sites?

Where can I find the product key for Windows 7?

Hi - I recently purchased a laptop from Dixons. Where can I find the product key to start using microsoft 7? I can not find it anywhere.
Please help!

Hello
I believe 90% of Toshiba notebooks you can find on the market are delivered with preinstalled operating system. When you start it for the first time you must NOT activate preinstalled OS. At the bottom of the notebook you can find Windows sticker with valid key license.
Maybe you bought notebook without preinstalled OS. In this case you must install own OS and use own license key.
The question is: which notebook model do you have exactly and was your notebook delivered with preinstalled operating system?
For exact answer please offer more relevant information.

Where can I find the product key for Microsoft Office 2011 that I purchased on line?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the Maverick operating system and now I have to enter the product key when I try to open MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Where can I find the product key in my mac?

Yet another example as to why you should always purchase software on disk whenever possible.

Where do I find the product key for win XP?

hI
I am new here.
I just purschased a Lenovo SL500 from Hemini.
I have a question that they wouldn't answer for me. Hopefully someone of you can.
My laptop came with windows XP installed and with CDs for installing Vista.
I chose to stay with XP.
The Windows sticker underneath the laptop is for Vista => the 25 digit Product Key it has on it is for Vista and won't work for "validating" my Windows XP and Windows Office software.
Nowhere in the package did I find any mention of a product key for the XP.
Please help me as to what I should do now.
Thank you.
Solved!

Hi Oingk,
Most [maybe all] computer manufacturers use volume license key to install and activate Windows:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_license_key
Preinstalled Windows OSes from lenovo come already activated, it's surprising that yours is not activated. I suggest contacting lenovo CS.
In case you did a clean install then you should have created recovery discs for XP first, these discs contain an image of preinstalled Windows [pre-activated] and other lenovo software:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68317
As for Microsoft Office, the version bundled with thinkpads is trial unless specifically ordered a license during purchase.
Hope it helps.
Maliha (I don't work for lenovo)
ThinkPads:- T400[Win 7], T60[Win 7], IBM 240[Win XP]
IdeaPad: U350
Apple:- Macbook Air [Snow Leopard]

How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell?
Thanks,
Tom

Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued. If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

Where do I find the product key number

How do I find the product number when it ask for after you enter the serial number, than it ask for product number.

Hi, thanks for letting me know that. Here is my problem, First I bought the adobe from Dell computers. Student and Teacher Version, that's what the guy sold me at Dell. Called the Adobe co. They informed me that I did not need this version, but Adobe x Standard. I called Dell again and returned that version. Than the sales person, sold me Adobe X Standard Version, well you can guess what came next. I needed the Product key which I don't have. I called Dell again, this time I am really upset. I explained to them that all I want is to scan the document and than edit the document, that's all I want to do. I have been given a run aound from one extension to another by Dell Representative. I would really appreciate all the help I can get. God Bless.
