Windows 8.1 message 'your windows licence will expire soon'

Hi,
I bought my HP Pavilion 15-n278sa notebook pc approx 2 months ago with windows 8.1 already pre installed. Just yesterday it come up that "your windows licence will expire soon".. i have not updated windows or anything of the kind. I looked through all my documents that i recieved with this pc, and had a look underneath but cannot find a product key for it. It says activate online on pc settings but when i click on that the expire message just reappears. Is there a way i can retrieve my product key number?
Thanks

Machines that come pre-installed with Windows 8 have the license key embedded in BIOS. For whatever reason your key is being rejected. Phone HP Support in your country /region to ask for assistance with this error. Worldwide numbers can be accessed here>> Contact HP

  • Windows 8.1 pre-installed , your windows license will expire soon?!?!

    I just updated my Windows today when they prompted and asked me to update it and restart the laptop. After updating and restarting, the laptop suddenly notifies me that my windows license will expire soon and I will need to activate it in the pcsettings.  
    It then brings me to a page with two choices, activate windows online or enter new product key. I tried both options but the first one won't work and the second one requires a product key which I have no idea what it is. When I look at my system information, it says that my windows 8.1 is activated.
    By the way, my windows 8 is pre-installed on the laptop. Please help, I am a complete newbie in the technology field!

  • Windows licenses will expire soon

    Why do i need to register when the windows 8 is preintsalled....And after i sent to warranty to fix some problem,when i get back the laptop it was updated to windows 8.1 and after a few days...it was asking for activation key....why? ant i also sent an email to lenovo but doestn been replied

    Registering and Activating are two different things. Registering is giving Microsoft your personal information. Activating is windows checking to see if it is a legitimate install of Windows. Anytime you install Windows or upgrade a copy of windows to a new version you have to activate it. It normally takes seconds and all you have to do is click the link and maybe click a few buttons and that is all. Because your system was updated to Windows 8.1 it has to be reactivated. This is a Microsoft thing not a Lenovo thing.
    Have you tried activating it?

  • The STARTTLS certificate will expire soon. Event ID 12017, 12018

    Hi There,
    I have upgraded my Exchange server from 2007 to 2013 in Jul 2014.
    in my 2007 structure I used to have an Edge Transport and two Hub servers.
    but in 2013 I got rid of all of them and have only one server.
    Now I am getting Errors below:
    Event ID 12017
    An internal transport certificate will expire soon. Thumbprint:D23A8F92E7F?????699964B098C318EA57E0A824, hours remaining: 2018
    Event ID 12018
    The STARTTLS certificate will expire soon: subject: email.mydomain.com, thumbprint: D23A8F92E7F?????699964B098C318EA57E0A824, hours remaining: 2018. Run the New-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet to create a new certificate.
    Shall I do anything? or I receive the message because I ran my exchange server 2007 next to my 2013 for a few months.

    Hi Alex,
    As what Andy says, your certificate which Thumbprint is D23A8F92E7F?????699964B098C318EA57E0A824 will be expired. We can run Get-ExchangeCertificate | fl to check this certificate.
    If it is the certificate which is from GoDaddy, please renew if from GoDaddy to resolve the issue.

  • (I-Pad) I have rent a v film and received a message that the movie will expire in two days but can't close the message window anymore, hence I have no access to any other program on the I-Pad anymore

    I have rent a film and received a message from I-tunes that the film will expire in two days. Even though I have confirmed the message by pressing ok the message window is not closing anymore, hence can't use anz other program of the I-Pad 2 anymore. Does anzbody in the forum experienced anything similar? If yes what is the solution to it?

    Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Then try the video in the video app.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If by some chance you cannot go to the home screen, force quit iTunes by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then press and hold down on the home button until iTunes closes. Then restart the iPad as described above.

  • Windows 7 will expire in 12 days...(PA, WoW, Wine, Arch64)

    Now's the time for me to make the total switch over. I need some help though.
    I've got a partition with Arch64 installed. I've got wine with the PulseAudio patch installed. I've got PulseAudio installed. ALSA is the sound stack.
    For whatever reason, I can't get sound out of Wine and Mangler at the same time. Pulse may be crashing, but I don't see any output. The version of patched wine in the AUR is out of date, so I messed with the PKGBUILD and created an up-to-date version (I can add this config to the AUR this weekend for anyone interested) of the patched Wine.
    Should I give up on 64 and try this all on 32? I'd hate to lose a gig of ram, but if that's what I need to make everything happy, then so be it.
    Anyone have any experience or suggestions for getting this all to work? I can post more detail later, not at my home PC at the moment.

    Well, it didn't work for me. I still can't get that wine-pulse_64 patch to compile...it still seems to somehow trace back to that libpng thing.  I'm getting an error something like this: "undefined reference to `png_set_longjmp_fn'."
    I don't think ALSA will work with Manger (or ventrilo) + WINE. I am fairly certain that PulseAudio is required (all of the other distros I've used work it with Pulse + Wine). I couldn't get Dmix to properly work, either.
    I'm thinking the best thing to do is wait until the libpng thing gets settled...then update the packages that way. As it stands, I cannot get Wine + Mangler to work in Arch. I've been trying for weeks It really saddens me because I *love* Arch; but, I can't use it as my main OS -- I'm sticking with Mint/Ubuntu where Wine + Pulse works fine.  I'll keep Arch on as dual boot until it is truly able to provide the level of usefulness that I require (this isn't a bad thing -- Arch is *great*-- it's just not there yet for me.)
    Is there anyone out there that has been successful doing this? Has anyone gotten Mangler + Wine to work in 64 bit Arch?

  • Windows 8.1 key expiring soon

    I bought a new Asus T200T laptop running windows 8.1 on 11 January 2015 but since last few days,my PC keep notifying me "Your Windows License will expire soon" and when I checked my pc settings,it shows that my license will expire on March 4,2015
    Does this mean I will have to purchase a new copy of windows after that date or is it a pirated copy in
    which case the OEM license would not work?
    Thanks

    Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum.  Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:

    Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
    don't post your issue in another person's thread). 
    It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

  • Endless "Your iCloud session has expired" messages - any solution?

    I seem to have two related and incredibly annoying problems for which I have been unable to find a truly effective, long-term solution after extended web searches. Everything I try doesn't truly fix the problems, which I suspect are related ones:
    1. In the course of normal usage of iTunes (ever since beginning use of iCloud), I frequently get the message "Your iCloud session has expired" and I am prompted to re-enter my password. When I re-enter it, everything works - until 5, 10 or 15 minutes later, when it pops up again - and again. I haven't been this annoyed since I dealt with the constant "Nervous Nellie" security popups on Windows XP. Is there any way to get iCloud to calm down?
    2. Similar deal with iTunes Match. Almost every time I turn on any Mac with it enabled, iTunes Match will not actually work. I have to sign out from the iTunes Store, then sign back in, click iTunes Match, click "Add computer" (even though this is the same computer over and over again) and wait about 2 minutes to go through the activation and matching process again. Then it works fine. But should I close iTunes, shut down my computer, etc. and come back to use iTunes again, it's the same crazy routine all over again. Can't use it properly unless I sign out, sign in, re-activate iTunes Match, etc. Driving me crazy. Both iCloud and iTunes Match could be such tremendous services, but this buggy nonsense is hardly worth my time. Basically, a waste of $25 at this point.
    Oh, by the way, iTunes Match works fine on my iPad 2 and Apple TV (never need to go through this song and dance).
    If anyone has encountered either of these errors and found a solution, I'd be most grateful to hear about them.

    Okay, I found additional help for the first problem on this forum. The threads I was hoping to finally appeared when I posted this question. I followed the advice posted by the community and it seems to have worked: Go into Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Details > select "apple.com" and click Remove (thanks to BasementJack and JHdeVilliers). What I do not yet know is whether or not I'll have to repeat this action now. But it's a good start. However, iTunes Match is still a mess - no improvement.
