Satellite U940-12C: Windows 8 license code??

Hi.
I own a Toshiba Satellite U940-12C. Due to a sequence of dreadful circumstances, i ended up with a notebook without Windows 8 and no access to the recovery partition. If there's any clue to how to access this recovery data, please tell me.
But the question is: how can i get the license code of my notebook copy of Windows 8?? Is there any way??
Thanks and bye.

If you cannot access recovery partition on regular way there is no other way to do this and recovery image saved on your notebook is useless. it is pity that you dont have created recovery media that could be used for clean Win8 installation.
Maybe you will not believe this but license key is also useless and cannot be used for own Windows installation. This code belongs to original preinstalled version that you got with your notebook.
Best option for you is to order original recovery disc and use it for Win8 installation. You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Windows 8.1 (64 bit) display driver for Satellite L630-12C SYSTEM UNIT

Hi I am looking for the Windows 8.1 (64 bit) driver for the display adapter on my Satellite L630-12C SYSTEM UNIT. The part number of the laptop is PSK04E-01W00FIT. The display adapter is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 made by AMD. I have searched for the driver both the Toshiba and the AMD website but couldn't find anything that worked. Does a driver exists for this adapter for Windows 8.1 (64 bit) or do I have to roll back to Windows 7? I would greatly appreciate your help in this mattter. Thanks Hussain

Dual boot Linux - Windows on Satellite U940

Hello to everyone.
I'm quite new on this forum and I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite U940-10N? Using Linux for 2 years, I'd like to install a debian wheezy distribution on it.
On my former computer, only Debian was installed so I'm net really comfortable with dual boot especially with the ssd.
I don't really like windows but I keep it to work sometimes on it.
Do you think it would be better to install the linux system on the system like I've seen it on most of threads, with only the /home on the HDD ? Or do you think it would be interesting to build another raid like it is now for windows ? Would I have better perfomances and speed that way ?
Another question : is it possible to have an ext4 data partition and make windows to see it or do I have to write it in ntfs ? I have noticed that fat32 and ntfs written on linux with gparted are not reconized by windows 8.
Those are my questions for now.
Thank you for your help.

Hi there
First let's look at your situation - the U940-10N will most likely be a Win8 unit, right?
If YES - then the BIOS has to be set up to boot UEFI.
Secure Boot can be disabled.
It seems Debian is not so far in supporting UEFI / EFI boot modes.
Look at this announcement from back in October:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20121018
So, you will need to make sure your debian flavor can boot in UEFI boot mode.
If not, You will have issues getting both OS'es (Debian and Win8) to live side by side and boot without issues.
Next, You'll need to make sure Debian is able to install a boot loader that takes Windows 8 into account and is able to start that OS.
Looking at storage, I tried to install Fedora on a dual-storage system (SSD + HDD).
I installed the OS on the SSD and my Home structure was placed on the HDD.
This worked very very well.
I think this also provides the best performance, however I have no real statistics to back it up.
Ext4 is not supported by Windows out of the box, but there is a driver existing which implements ext2,3,4 support for Windows: http://www.ext2fsd.com/
If You ask me, I would rather have Linux accessing an NTFS partition than have Windows trying to write to an Ext2/3/4 partition. I am fully confident in the NTFS support from Linux but not the other way around.
If the Fat and NTFS partitions are not recognised by Windows, please check that the partitions are Fat32 or NTFS.
It may be that the file systems are NTFS / Fat but the partitions have Linux signatures.
Hope this helps

Bad service HP with license code windows 8

I have bought a all in one 23 F210ED in august last year.
I never changed anything in it.
Now i get when i install the recovery from HP, that i am not activated ?
I called HP for it, and everytime they will call me back, what they do not do.
So i to call HP myself several times it costs me 0,10 euro cent per minute the amounbt is now already over 30 euro !
And every time they have to ask another collague abou it, pleae wait etc.
And finally because HP was not calling back everytime what they promised , with a solution.
I called Microsoft myself and they said . HP is using a oem version of windows 8, they have to make it work.
But after pushing from my side, they did the activation by phone.
And i have now a contact person with MS that will do that for me when i call him.
But this is not the way normally he said.
HP has to get the solution to this problem.
Like a new key.
But you allready understand i do not get a new key from HP.
Because they blame it on MS.
So now my money is gone, and i still have to call MS to activate it.
Custumer service finally called me on the phone after a letter i wrote to HP Netherlands.
And pointed me out to the warranty rules.
Yeah right.
Bad bad service from HP.
For me never again HP.

I have received an email,
but i see nothing else then this ?

Your request for info got me thinking about another oddity I've been working on this week - My firewall (NetGear SRX5308) shows dropped incoming packets from ip 65.55.121.94 with source port 443 and destination port 55338. ARIN shows the ip belongs
to MICROSOFT-1BLK, aka Microsoft. Is it possible that my firewall is blocking communication to MS's licensing servers?

Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22GB

Hi,
I got a brand new Satellite U940-B484 Ultrabook.
The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three 4.7GB DVD discs
We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, he seems to be missed up with the drivers, so we decided to back to factory status to find and download the correct device drivers.
Even after we got the recovery completed we still have two issues:
Major issue: SSD drive shows only 11.22GB capacity!!
Minor issue: a device in the device manager isn't working correctly!!
Is there any logical explanation for the SSD size to go down from 32 GB to 11 GB????
The only think came across my mind was the possibility to have 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason) changed from RAID 0 to RAID 1. But even if that is true, where on earth can I change that from?

> Major issue: SSD drive shows only 11.22GB capacity!!
On my clean preinstalled Satellite U940 SSD is listed as unallocated drive with 11.19GB capacity. As far as I know this small SSD is not there for data saving but as small drive that helps and allows fast start-up.
Fast start-up is a setting that helps your PC start up faster after shutdown. Windows does this by saving system info to a file upon shutdown. When you start your PC again, Windows uses that system info to resume your PC instead of restarting it.
> Minor issue: a device in the device manager isn't working correctly!!
Which device? USB host controller maybe?

Medias for Adobe CS3 Design Standard/Premium (Windows) Volume License

Hello,
We have volume licenses for CS3 Design Standard /Design Premium but no media kit for Windows, unfortunately. All attempts at finding this or buying it have failed. I've spoken direct to Adobe and the official solution is to upgrade to CS6 or Adobe CC! Which really isn't helpful. I've tried upgrading from the trial version of Design Std but that doesn't work.
Thanks

I'm a bit confused...I saw your note above about not working with volume license keys, but I disregarded it out of optimism because it doesn't match my experience.
For our volume licenses, we get our our downloads via ESD (since CS3), and I was under the strong impression they were the same as the trial media (I believe the filenames and download URLs are actually the same?), but I guess I have not verified.
I wonder if the more likely case is that your volume license code is invalid or has a typo or something? On the other hand, you guys seem to have two data points (Martin and James) to my one marginal one ("strong impression"), so there's that. And I guess my experience with this is Macintosh based but it should not be platform-specific.
Still.
I guess another possibility is to make sure that you're downloading the Design Standard installer instead of the installer for the individual products or perhaps the wrong suite package? I dunno.
I remain skeptical, but I realize there's not a lot of data to back up my skepticism.

My computer was formatted, I lost Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, etc and I don't have my license code.

Windows 7 PC.
License (CS6) bought and installed. My work computer was reformatted by the I.T department and I sub-sequentially lost all my programs. I don't have the license code. Is there any way of retrieving the license and re-downloading?
Please help as I urgently need to use Illustrator and Photoshop for work purposes.

Hazel,
Installation rules will let you install the software on two computers. If you have already installed the software twice and you don't have access to your previous computer or you upgraded your computer's hardware, replace a hard drive, upgraded your operating system, or reformatted your drive before deactivating your software, you can ask Adobe Support to help you deactivate the software from the machine. Just have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, and then contact support. Then you can install the software from the links above and enter your serial number to re-activate the software.
If you need to find your serial number, sign in to your Adobe account. On the Manage Accounts page that appears, all of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section. For more information on locating serial numbers, or on registering a serial number, please see Find a serial number.

Activating e-Learning Suite 6.1 with an e-Learning Suite 6 license code

Hi,
I have e-Learning Suite for Windows 2.5 running happily on my machine (well, apart from sometimes forgetting I've activated it already, and thus asking me to activate it again), but I was given a while back an activation code (purchased by my uni, too) for e-Learning Suite 6 for Windows as part of purchasing the upgrade plan.
Now I am having a clean-up of my machine and as the only version I see on the Adobe website is e-Learning suite 6.1 and the install file to download is quite big, can someone from Adobe confirm that my e-Learning Suite for Windows v6 license key will activate the currently-available e-Learning Suite for Windows v6.1, please?
If not, can I have a link to download the install file for v6, please?
Many thanks,
Dragos

Great, many thanks, Mayank. I noticed that Adobe Acrobat XI will be installed in trial mode, though, so I'll keep that in mind when I uninstall eLearning Suite 2.5... it would have been nice to have the full version, though...
Many thanks again,
Dragos

Unix License Manager doesn't record License Codes

Hi,
In an HP_UX 11 Data Services 3.1 installation I'm trying to add a new trial License because after the initial installation the registry is empty.
I tried executing the License Manager in a command line and by X-Windows with the same result, after adding the new License code, the message is that it's fine but when I close the window and then I execute the parameter "view", nothing is there.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Francisco,
Can you clarify if the user running LicenseManager is the same user as who installed the jobserver? Can you also clarify the four-part version of DS you are using?
Thanks,
~Scott

Need drivers for my Satellite U940-B775

Dear All,
I need help to get drivers for Toshiba Satellite U940-B775,,,,,,,,,,,,everything was going fine till my net provider instal new Windows 8 and the notebook is now so slow on displaying movies and sound is low quality and i search every where for support about drivers......
REGARDS

> notebook is now so slow on displaying movies and sound is low quality
You should visit the Toshiba page posted by Terentino.
There you would find the drivers for U940 series.
It provides two sound drivers: one from Realtek and one from SRS. Install both. The sound driver SRS provides additional sound improvement effects.
Additional be sure the graphic card driver is installed too.

Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

_*My specifications:*_
*Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
*Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
*Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
*Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
* Internet access
* Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
* Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?
