Windows 8 Key doesn't work in bootcamp

I currently have windows boot camped on my early 2013 Macbook pro retina however i am not allowed to download anything. When i go into pc settings to input my product key to activate windows it denies my product key. Does anyone have a solution to this problem or should i give Microsoft or Apple a call?

If you use a Retail Windows version, the Product Key is entered when the Windows Installer starts. If you are entering a Retail Product Key but used the Volume Licensing media, you can run into any issues. I have a Retail version, and I get prompted for a Key on the first screen of the installer.

Functional keys doesn't work in Windows 7.

I have installed BootCamp 3.0 and installed all drivers; however, functional keys doesn't work such as keyboard backlight, volum control.
Let me know if there is any solution.
Thank you,

' Installed device in another PC with same OS. And it worked (seems like fine) with latest drivers from Creative site.
May be, the problem is that Setup doesn't delete old drivers or other stuff which conflicts with latest drivers? Before released drivers I tried to install beta and them didn't work. Yes, I uninstalled them and removed all drivers and software which I could with Device Manager. But it seems like it is installing well on "clean" system.

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on

Lightroom 5 key doesn't work

I have purchase Lightroom5 upgrade version for MAC and just re-install my mac and install lightroom5. however, it said my key doesn't work. should i install lightroom 3 then install lightroom5 upgrade version instead of install lightroom 5 directly? where can i down load lightroom 5 upgrade version?

It is possible you downloaded a Creative Cloud version. Try downloading thru the page linked below. An upgrade version is differentiated by the serial number... the software itself only has one version.

My enter key doesn't work in the address bar so I can't manually enter URLs

This is actually on my wife's computer but, apparently she recently upgraded to 3.6.13 and now the enter key doesn't work in the address bar. I can enter a URL but can never go to it because the enter key is totally non functional in the address bar. Chrome works fine and other apps work fine. The enter key works here in this text box and in the search area but not in the address bar. Weird huh!

In my Windows 7 64, my Java was update, but dissabling AVG search and restarting the problem was solved
Thanks a lot

Upgrading from W 8.1 to 10, Key doesn't work

This laptop was purchased with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. The Windows 10 software is on my C drive and I tried installing it. The window asks for the Key. I've run the CMD wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey. It gives me a Key but the installation program says the key doesn't work. Some sites say all updates must be installed. Done!Some sites say ignore the key and proceed. I can't as the software is very snooty - the OK cell is grayed out. Any suggestions? As an aside, I can't believe all the fluff on the Internet about installing W10. BTW, I installed W10 on an old ASUS Eee PC without any problem.

Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

Wireless keyboard sk-2061 sleep key doesn't work. How do I get it to work?

The sleep key doesn't work on my HP SK-2061 wireless keyboard. How do I get it to work?

Hello @SunLovinGran,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your wireless keyboard's sleep key doesn't work. Is your computer able to enter sleep mode by itself after a certain period of time? Are you able to enable sleep mode using a different keyboard?
In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. This should help diagnose any possible issue with how keys or buttons are input using your keyboard.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Right-Command Key doesn't work

Well, on my PowerBook G4, there are 2 command-keys (I'm sure that's common).
My right command key doesn't work what-so-ever. I tried using the keyboard viewer and it doesn't turn gray either. Funny thing, but when I press the LEFT one, both cmd keys turn gray.
Well i dont know if its a missing driver or a setting, (maybe even a malfunctioning keyboard?) but if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Sorry, my bad. Haven't read through it in awhile and thought it affected keyboard too, but looks like just trackpad and other issues described. You may just have a bad keyboard or something lodged under that key.

Im cs5 but I have had this trouble in cs4.

causiu,
It is possible that the issues may be caused by preference corruption or interference from other applications.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps. Since you had it in CS4 too, the most likely is 5).
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer;
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options, especially Item 7) with the usual suspects;
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
