Windows Office 2007 on Vista Product Key

Ive had my laptop since 2009 and its only now that I have need to use the pre installed windows 2007. When I go to enter in the product key from the sticker on bottom of laptop, I get an incorrect key message every time i attempt to validate my license key.
Can anyone help me rectify this as I know that Im inputting the correct key from the sticker.

Hello
As xaver already wrote this key belongs to original recovery image and cannot be used for any kind of activation. This key cannot be used for OS activation if you have installed own OS version.
It can also not be used for Microsoft office activation. Many people try this and wonder why it will not work.

    Does anyone know how I can find out what my windows vista product key is. The sticker on the bottom of my laptop has worn off and it keeps saying that I need to enter it.

    Hello,
    What is asking for the product key? Is it the operating system?
    If it is the OS, what you need is the recovery disc, putting the product key will not work because the OS that was installed on the NB is already activated and it can't be activated anymore.
    I think microsoft has a fix for this but they will charge you for the support.
    It is better if you will just do the recovery so that you can reinstall the operating system..
    Hope this help.

  • HP Compaq Presario CQ60-320sa vista product key fade.

    Hello help me please- HP Compaq Presario CQ60-320sa
    I got HP Compaq Presario CQ60-320sa and the window vista product key is fade. I can read first, second and last.
    Now my earlier hard disk got crashed because of bad sector and I have to installed new one which I did now I want window vista product key for activation and the sticker back of my laptop cover is fade can't read all product key. If I download HP- USB RECOVERY FLASH DISK UTILITY does this software let me reset my laptop to factory version and won't ask me for product key. Thank you for your time.

    I understand you need a product key.
    An HP recovery should have Vista already activated with the product key for the system.  Do you have access to recovery media for this system (disks or a USB recovery drive)?  If you can perform an official HP recovery, there shouldn't be a need to get the product key off the bottom of the notebook.  The utility you mentioned only creates the media from the recovery partition on supported systems. Since the HDD was replaced due to a failure, I am afraid that the flash disk utility will not be of use as the recovery partition is not present on replacement HDDs.
    Some users have had success with contacting Microsoft regarding the unreadable product key.  They might be worth a try.
    According to this page, the HP part number for the recovery kit for this system is 515724-031.  You might be able to find the appropriate recovery disk set from a third party ensuring the part number matches.  You might want to verify with HP that the recovery disks are not available from HP before using a third party source.

  • How to lock Vista product key?

    My Vista product key is stolen and I want to lock down this, what can I do?
    I dont want to let it use who stolen my key.

    The key and the sticker placed on notebooks bottom side belongs to recovery image you got with your notebook and cannot be used for operating system activation.
    With other words: if anyone installs Vista using Microsoft installation disc this key cannot be used for Vista activation. So don't worry about it.
    Just be sure you have your recovery DVD on secure place and you can use it in the future for OS installation.
    Even when you use this original Toshiba installation disc the licence key from the bottom must not be used.

  • Problem opening Keynote 08 created PPT in Windows Office 2007

    After creating my presentation in iWork08 Keynote I save it first in its native format, and then in PPT. When I try to open the PPT in Office 2007 on a WIndows machine, all I get is an empty Window. If I open it in Office 2003, no problems. If I then save it in Office XP/2003 format, Office 2007 can then read it without issues. Has anyone else seen this behaviour, and if you have, have you been able to resolve it at all?

    I've had the exact same problem running Vista and Office 2007 except I don't have the luxury of having another computer with Office 2003. Does anyone know of a fix? This totally makes buying windows useless as a way to check ppts that we export from Keynote. Can apple fix this?

  • Windows Server 2008 SP2 X86 Product Key Issue

    I am trying to create a VM using a Template, but facing an issue with respect to Product Key.  The VHD I am using is of
    Windows Server 2008 SP2 X86.  If I do not provide Product Key in the Template/Guest OS Profile, the Virtual Machine creation fails even before starting. Seeing this behavior, I added a dummy key to the Guest OS Profile/Template which allowed
    me to deploy the machine, but the VM gets stuck at Customization before failing. When I take the remote console of the VM, the Error I see at the Remote Console is:  
    Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass. The settings specified in the answer files cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [microsoft-windows-shell-setup]"
    So, I am confused now what to do.
    Is dummy key supported?
    Do I need to provide the actual key in the Template/Guest OS Profile?

    You should be able to evaluate this software for 180 days.

  • Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Product Key

    I just got a new Macbook Pro 13" for Christmas, and I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit via Bootcamp. The installation went smoothly enough, but when I try to type in the product key that Microsoft gave me, it tells me that the product key is invalid. Help!

    I unfortunately bought the Upgrade version of Windows 7 Home. I didn't see the part on page 5 that said a Full version had to be used until it was too late. Anyway, after the Product Key was denied I looked here to the discussions. Found this post. Followed the link to winsupersite. Since Method #1 didn't work initially bringing me here I moved on to Method #2. Modifying the regedit.exe file as instructed and then trying the Product Key again resulted in a registered copy of Windows 7. Thanks.

  • How do I load MS office 2011 with a product key only

    Trying to use a product key (media-less) download of MS Office 2011 for my new MacBook Pro.  I thought you had to have a trial version installed on your computer before you could load the full version (at least that's the way it worked on PC).  How can I do this?

    The evaluation ISO does not require a key. If it is asking for a key, it may be a bad copy.

  • Windows 7 x64 System Recovery Product Key not same as COA sticker

    I have restored my Satellite P775-S7232 with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 to the out-of box condition by booting from the Sysyem Recovery Partition. Afterwards during the process of re-installing all my other software, I happened to install Belarc Adivisor and when I ran it, it came up with a different Win7 Product Key than what is shown on the OEM COA sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
    What is the reason for this and will either product key work in the future to re-install Windows 7? If for instance, should I decide to re-partition the drive, eliminate the Restore Partition and re-install Win7 x64 from scratch from a Win7 DVD, should I only use the Product Key from the COA sticker? In case anyone is wondering, I have made a complete Toshiba DVD Recovery Set for this system, just in case.   
    Solved!

    Satellite P775-S7232
    The key that keyfinders come up with is the key used by OEMs during installation. It won't work for activatation.
    Magical Jellybean explains it here.
    Q: Why doesn't the product key returned match the one on my sticker?
    If you purchased your PC with Windows already installed from a large manufacturer such as Dell or HP, it's likely that Windows was installed using an OEM key instead of the actual key for your PC. This saves them (and you) money because it's much more efficient for these large companies to install Windows once and then clone the drive.

  • Windows 8 Activation after Reinstall - Product Key doesn't work

    Hello Folks!
    The hard drive on my Thinkpad Edge E135 just gave out. I replaced it and reinstalled Windows 8 with the recovery dvds
    Windows 8 keeps bugging you that you need to activate it and many features are available with an activated windos, so I really want to activate it. A program to read out the product key gave me a working key at first, but right after that it said that the key is invalid.
    "Error 0xC004C003
    It was detected by the activation server that the product key has been blocked."
    I'm really lost here and it would be very appreciated if somebody told me what I can do. Right? Lenovo. For those who do.

  • Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 product key doesn't work

    I upgraded build 9926 for about one month and now it keeps asking me to activate. It was activated already when I installed it. 
    I‘ve tried the two product keys from another threads which are NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR and PBHCJ-Q2NYD-2PX34-T2TD6-233PK.
    Also tried to run command as administrator and type SLUI 3 anyway it's the same thing so... 
    The pro & Enterprise ones both not work for me. And it says I have to activate it before March 15th.
    Help guys!

    Hi Dhana1989,
    If you download the installation media from that link above, the activation key should be this one:
    NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR
    Normally, Windows 10 Technical Preview is activated automatically during installation. If you get a prompt for activation, I suggest you follow this steps:
    1. Open Administrative command prompt (Windows key+x > A)
    2. Type: SLUI 3
    This would bring the following prompt for you:
    Type the key above to check the result. Make sure you are connecting to Internet.
