Product key number entry error

I received Flight Simulator X Gold edition for Christmas.
I have been trying to install it but when prompted to enter the 25 character product key
it gives me a message that it is in error and to check that it is entered correctly. I have checked and recheck and it is correct. but I still get the error.
The package had a Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity, so I don't think it's an illegal copy.
What do I do ?

I've always had PSE 7.0, but I guess my computer has an issue reading the Installation CD I have for it, so I tried to manually download it from the official website, but when I go trough the whole process, it does not want to accept my product key number

It's either my computer because it's old, or something is wrong with my cd installer. I don't know, but I just want to install my PSE 7.0, but it does not work even on the official website with my product key #.

Need product key number for installed Robohelp HTML

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to determine which product key number
for Robohelp HTML X5 is used on a particular machine?
We have two X5 licenses here, but I only want to upgrade one
license on one machine. I do not know which product key number was
used to install X5 on either machine.
I'd like to maintain older projects using X5 and upgrade one
license to develop new projects using Robohelp 8.
From what I understand--and PLEASE correct me if I am
wrong--I can run both versions on the same machine as long as I
install in different folders.
Deb

I don't think there is any way of telling but suggest you
phone the activation people. If anyone knows, they should.

You can install RH7 on a machine with X5 but you will have
issues if you need to use RoboHelp for Word in X5. Importing Word
docs and printed documentation will still be OK.

CS6 with Product key number but no serial number

I purchased CS6 from Adobe Support (email address: Help And Support <[email protected]>) and obtained a product key number but no serial number. How come? Is my purchase legitimate or did i get scammed?

Hi,
I don't know if anyone is still looking at this thread but I have just dealt with the same Adobe 'Help and Support' with the email [email protected] and found you when I looked to see if there was anything about them online.
My story as short as poss – I had problems running Photoshop Elements 11 after upgrading to Mac OS X Yosemite. Some people told me it could work, others no, so I tried to get some information from Adobe. I looked for 'Help' on Adobe.com and wrote in my enquiry on the recommended 'Chat' option. This morning I got a response and was asked if I was available to web chat about it on Skype. Everything was headed 'Help and Support' and all the Skype messages had a little Adobe logo with 'Help' by them – so I assumed it was all legit and I was actually dealing with Adobe.
They told me PSE 11 was incompatible with Yosemite but said that as an existing customer I could upgrade to PSE 13 for a discount. This seemed a good deal so I said OK. They said I could download it immediately but they'd need remote access to my computer. They started installing PSE 13 and though I started to wonder about how long they needed remote access for, things only began to look really weird when it came to paying, which was to a Moneygram account in India. Also I got a confirmation email from that adobe24x7 address.
By that time though I'd got so far into it I was worried what would happen if I pulled out, and so I went ahead and paid them (equivalent of $78 US). They told me they'll send a full serial number by email within 72 hours. When I said to them 'you're not actually Adobe are you' they said 'We have affiliation with Adobe through Commission Junction'. The named 'Support Manager' on the messages is Amrita Singh.
They finished the installation, and so far the PSE 13 seems to work fine. But like you I have no idea whether it is legitimate software or not. I called Adobe here in the UK and they say they have no connection with adobe24x7, didn't seem to have it on record as a scam address, but are going to get back to me.
I'm normally careful with scammers so this makes me feel really dumb. But – the big question – since they had access to the computer for so long, were they fishing for anything else? If they are real scammers this is a possibility. When I reported it to Adobe they told me to cancel the payment but I said I didn't want to in case adobe24x7 took any reprisals.
So, if CS5 and Yosemite is still reading – did they ever get back to you when they said they'd reimburse you? And have you had any other bad consequences since you were in contact with them, bank accounts, passwords being compromised etc?
Am wondering how much I need to panic! Thanks for any information....
And, a wider issue, shouldn't Adobe show a little more concern that their 'Help pages' are being hacked into so easily?

Finding product key number

I have an IQ524 All-in-one computer, I received the computer with Vista and a couple of months later I got a packet of disks from HP for windows 7, to which I promptly installed . I want to install windows 10. I just found that I can go to Cnet, which sends me to the download site. At first I couldn't find my product key, the key I have on my computer is only 20 letters and numbers long. I just found the 25 number product key on the backside of my computer, but that, I am guessing is for the Vista OS. The packet of disks, to the windows 7 OS, have no numbers on it what so ever, so I have no idea what the product key number and I don't think I ever had that number. Where can I find or is it possible to get another product key number for windows 7 so I can install Windows 10 onto my computer? Now that I think about it, do I need a product key number (for windows 7) if I have the number for Vista?Thanks in advance...Fred

That's what I thought, kind of...It's just that, I know that it probably will be a while before they send Windows 10 to me and I wanted to jump at the chance to pick it asap. But, if that's not the case, I can wait, I will have to wait. Thanks for the info!--Fred--

How do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

how do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

I am assuming you have the key number, but not the actual software. Like you I have the key number (my key number good for 3 Macs), but didn't want to dig out the disc to install on another Mac. Going to Office's site I couldn't find any links to download Office, so I had to get the disc to load the program. Once that's done the Office installer will ask for your key number.

Product key not valid error while installing CRXI

Post Author: JSC
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
I purchased CRXI a few months ago, but waited till I had my new hard drive in place before.
At the "user information dialog I entered the only product key code I could find in the case, attached to the third CD pocket in the case.
Result: "Product key code XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX is not valid or has expired."
However I can see now that it is the activation code for "Cyrstal Reports Server XI R2"
There are stickers in the case with a shorter code "14-5XXX8-0XXXXE" I had also tried this code, but the error is the same.
I hope I don't need an ealier vesrion of CR in place. I hace CR9, however it is not here with me at this time.
Any ideas

I think you still have to install a profile on the device with that type of license... no?

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.

I need to re-enter Microsoft Office Product Key all the time!

Why do I need to enter the Product Key Number all the time when I open Office programs? I use Microsoft Office Mac 2011 Home & Student. At least every week I need to re-enter the product key number..... Why??

Get in touch with Microsoft support. Let them solve it. That is what I had to do with a similar problem.

Depending on who is on the other end you may be asked to pay $75. I was. If that happens insist the service should be free and ask to speak to a supervisor.

In stalling product key for Quicktime pro

I had quicktime player. I purchased Quick time pro this afternoon. I have a PC with Windows 7. I cannot find where to use the product key to get from quick time player to quicktime pro.
TLM

It is the number that Apple sent me yesterday (product key number) when I purchased Quick time Pro.
Okay ... it'll be your name then. The name you enter has to be precisely the same as the one in the email, right down to any honorifics. If there's a Mr in there, you need to enter the Mr ... if there's a full stop after the Mr. you can't just enter Mr (and so on).
Try cutting and pasting the name in the email into the field in the Registration tab. Does the Key register properly now?

XML errors message (Product key not found/Invalid) in SNC5.1

Hi,
I am working on SNC project which includes POC scenario.I have completed all the required configuration in R/3 4.6c and SNC5.1 system. The master data (mat, plant,vendor and Info records) are CIFed from R/3 to SNC, BP and MoT created in SNC. All the MD BAdIs are implemented in SNC. I am trying to post a PO from R/3 to SNC, IDOCS are successfully generated, PI has converted the IDOCS into XML messages, but i am getting XML error in SNC system (sxmb_moni) which states-
1) Product key 000000000123456 (category ID) not found
2) Item 00001: Product is missing or invalid
3) Order, item 00001: Product 000000000123456 does not exist
4) BOL processing failed. XML-message inbound processing has been terminated.
I am able to post the PO successfully in SNC Web UI which has alpha numeric product number (eg- 1120-110), but products with numerical value leading zeroes (eg- 000000012345) do not get posted. These product IDs give error in SNC sxmb_moni.
I have set up the output format of product number with 40.
Appreciate your help.
Is there any kind of configuration required for leading zeroes in any of the systems (R/3,PI or SNC)
Appreciate your help.

Hi Bharath,
Were you able to over come the error for products in the XML message? I have same issue, can you please briefly point me in right direction?
I am facing the error message " Product key 0000000000xxxxxxx (category ID) not found". can you please briefly mention how did you resolve?
In my case, the XML message had product number '000000000070000598' and I tried to implement BAdI to make the product number appear as '70000598' and still it failed.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I am trying to install BO Edge trial version 3.1. But it gives me error:
The product keycode you entered is not valid. STW00140
after i enter the product key and hit next.
Product key is the one I obtained from SAP after registering for the trial version. I am pretty sure that it is correct.
I had Xcelsius trial and BO Client installed on this computer earlier. I did uninstall both of them and also deleted all registry entries.
I also tried following this thread but that too didnt help me:

Windows 8 error "product key does not match any of the Windows images available for installation"

Hi Experts
My HP Pavilion laptop came with window 8. I made the USB recovery for windows 8 using hp recovery manager. My windows was corrupted, while I was trying to install windows 7 in dual boot.
I used above USB recovery to restore factory default. But every time it is giving me error "HP Recovery Manager Failed error code = 0xefffff08"
Then I downloaded the OEM ISO mage for windows 8 and tried to do the clean install but now installation process is giving me error "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key"
Please help me. To whom I have to contact?

Hi ghost-rider,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand you tried to do a recovery and you received this error "oxefffff08".
First I would suggest you run a hardware diagnostics. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
If no hardware failures are located, you have ruled that possibility out.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8) that may help.
If you are still having an issue doing a recovery, I suggest contacting HP support and explain the issue you are having with doing a recovery. They may have another option available for you.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region Technical Support Sitemap
The clean install from an OEM image is looking for the product code as it does not match the one that came with the computer, You would need a new code.
I hope this has helped.

Error installing Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2 RDS - Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me as I am tearing my hair out trying to get this resolved!
I am working on a Server 2012 R2 server with RDS running. Before it was turned into a RDS server it had a copy of Office 2010 running as a trial to see would it work for the accounting package that is running for users via Remote Desktop. Trial worked ok
so it was converted into a RDS server. Now, as its a RDS it needs to run Office under a volume licence, which I have. However when trying to install I get the message: "Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. this is most
likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed on the system."
In summary I have tried everything I can think of and find to remove all traces of the old Office from the machine but still this message persists. I have run the Fix It For Me uninstall from MS and it cannot find any Office installed. i have manually searched
through all of the Windows directories including Program Files and AppData and removed all traces of Office from there, I have searched the registry and removed all I can find from there.
Where or what file does the installer look at to see that a previous version was installed?
I cannot scrub this machine which I would have done long ago because there is another SQL Server based application running on it.
Really really appreciate anyone that can help me on this,
Thanks

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and I’ll try my best to help you.
Since Office 2010 installed on it before, you need to remove Office 2010 completely.
