  • Can I use product key from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit?

    Hi, i have a Toshiba L505-10V and the original cds(2) with Windows 7 prenium 32-bit.
    I have downloaded windows 7 prenium 64bit from here http://www.techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
    I use the key from 32 bit but it says its not valid. Is it possible to work with the same key?
    Also i download belarc to recoginise my 32bit windows key and it shows me different key from that is on the base of my pc.

    Hi
    According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64bit Home Premium and you got 32bit version on recovery DVD.
    Both recovery versions are designed for your notebook model and both versions contain activation code so that both versions must not be activated.
    I presume you didnt create recovery disc for preinstalled Win 7 64bit version.
    You cannot use product key listed in 32bit version. If you use own Windows version you must enter valid product key that you must buy from Microsoft.

  • Using Windows Server 2012 VL Product key with Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi all,
    Trying to use a Server 2012 vl product key to active a Server 2012 R2, but running into issues, namely it is not accepting the key. I have read many threads pointing out that different keys are required, but no mention of the process that one needs
    to take in order to obtain/swap product keys? Any ideas appreciated? :)

    The product key I have is for Windows Server 2012 Standard VL, (It's not a DC).
    I have downloaded the evaluation iso for Windows Server 2012 R2 and want to licence it (with a VL), but it is failing with the Windows Server Standard 2012 VL product key.
    My question is - am I doing something wrong, or do I need to ask Microsoft to change the product key / buy a new one? - What steps do I need to take?
    The product key for WS2012 will not work for WS2012R2. (so, yeah, you're doing that wrong)
    WS2012R2 is not a "free" upgrade from WS2012 (it's different to Win8.0 -> Win8.1)
    Your WS2012 pkey will work with WS2012. To use WS2012R2 you need a WS2012R2 pkey.
    If you want to "convert" an evaluation license install, into a full licensed install, you must match the version (2012 vs. 2012R2) and the edition, and must use DISM as well as the correct pkey.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx
    If you don't have the correct pkey for WS2012R2 already, and you don't have one waiting for you in the Volume Licensing Service Center website, you'll need to purchase a new license for WS2012R2.

  • I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes.

    I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes.  Apparently I cannot downgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone. Please tell me I don't have to pay anything to be able to use my products......

    Which version of iTunes?
    iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
    Unless this is a new iPhone 5 I believe the older ones will work with iOS6 and iTunes 10.6.3.  If it won't, you will need to upgrade operating system version.

  • Can I use my windows 8 oem embedded product key to windows 8.1?

    I have Y500 and I change the hard drive because the default hard drive fails.
    I can't find Windows 8 OEM version, so I downloaded the Windows 8.1 Media Creation Tool.
    Create a bootable usb, choose Windows 8.1/64Bit.
    After the installation of OS, I try to view my product key and put it in activation, it doesn't work.
    What should I do? 

    It will not work. The OEM keys that come with a computer will not work in a Microsoft provided ISO install file. This is a Microsoft thing not a Lenovo thing.
    Is your computer still in warranty? If it is, contact Lenovo customer support. They should be able to get you a system restore image. If its not still in Warranty, did you create a recovery disc when you first got the computer? If not then you will need to contact Customer Support and purchase a recovery set.
    Also is the new harddrive the same size as the old one? If not you may have issues recovering your factory image.

    hi
    i get answer by search results
    ther is
    Hi!
    The product key on the bottom side of the notebook is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. That means you can??t use this key with a normal Vista installation disk that you can buy on the internet or from a computer shop.
    If you want to install Vista you should a Toshiba recovery disk or a Microsoft disk with the corresponding product key.
    You can order a Toshiba recovery disk from Toshiba directly:

  • My product key in Windows 8.1 doesn't work

    This is the email that I sent to Amazon, whom I purchased the program from. I have yet to hear from them. I plan on writing to them again to make sure they actually got the email. If Adobe could help, that would be awesome, but I'm going to cover all my bases. I've already uninstalled it on my old computer and then tried to install it again on the new one and the product key still does not work because it is an old one where there are letters in front of the numbers in the product key.
    Hello,
    I just received a new laptop that has Windows 8.1 on it and I can’t install my previous Adobe Photoshop programs with the original product key I was given when I initially purchased it back in September 2012. I can install the programs…I just can’t input the product key I was given upon purchasing it. Please help. I’m really not sure what to do. I can’t afford to buy Adobe Photoshop again, so this will really bite dust if I can no longer use the program on this new laptop because of product key issues. I do a lot with the Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 programs in regards to creating graphics and layouts and so I really hate the idea of not being able to use those programs anymore simply because I change computers.
    Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
    Veronica

    I just got a response from Amazon and they referred me to Adobe.

    i have already tried the microsoft webside but it just gives me loads of windows 8 stuff.

    Thanks a lot!

    You can still buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Note that this version comes with a DVD, but it includes the product key you need > http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-7-Ultimate/productID .253678200
    You can also get Windows 7 from Amazon or NewEgg, and you may find it cheaper

  • Unable to Enter Product Keys

    Hi,
    I meet some issue to enter the Windows 2012 R2 Product Keys.
    I was installed the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition by previous version installation image.
    However, i enter the Std MAK keys, and get the Error "That key can't be used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key" and Error code by slmgr /ipk command "Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core
    edition run'slui.exe 0x2a 0XC004F069' to display te error text"
    How can i fix this issue without fresh installation?

    Hi,
    Firstly, please check the Region, date and time settings on your server to make sure they are correct.
    Which kind of activation method did you use? If you are using MAK Independent Activation, maybe you can try to use telephone to complete activation. To obtain the telephone number for an Activation Call Center in your local region, run "slui.exe 4".
    A MAK requires computers to connect one time to a Microsoft activation server. If it is the first time to use, please make sure that the computer can access the Internet.
    In addition, each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations which depends on the type of agreement you have. You can find the number of activations remaining on a MAK by going to the VLSC or by using the Volume Activation Management Tool to make
    sure it is available. If the existing activation limit on your MAK is inadequate for your deployment, contact the Microsoft Activation Center:

  • Can't use product key to reinstall Office 2010 Professional Plus

    I have used a legal copy of Office 10 for several months now. Recently my version of Windows became corrupted and I had to reinstall Windows, as well as all of my software. I reinstalled Office 10 Professional Plus and used my previous product key and am
    told that it is not an Office 10 product key.
    I attempted to go through the process of reclaiming the key at the Microsoft website but it does not find my Office product registered there. I'm not sure what to do at this point in time. Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much.

  • Unable to use dual monitors in Windows 7

    I just got a T500 and am unable to use my dual monitors.  We use a docking station to hook up all of the periphals.  The VGA connector works fine.  The monitor on the DVI is not recognized.  Drivers have been updated and the monitor is operational.  I get a Generic Non-Pnp Monitor as the only choice because it is not recognizing the second monitor.  Any suggestions?

    Does the DVI cable work properly?
    I know as a fact that dual displays work on a T500 with Windows 7.
    Do you ahve the regular Advanced Mini-Dock http://www.hoathanhlaptops.com/upload/nhd_Docking%20T4xx.jpg or is it some other type of port replicator?
    Does the Monitor come with any install discs?
    Lastly, does the Monitor support both DVI and VGA?  What happens if you plug that monitor in with a VGA cable?
