Windows 7 Won't Activate - Blocked Key
location: 7forums.com - date: September 13, 2010
Hi everyone, I purchased a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate from Bayswater Solutions on Amazon.co.uk. Windows 7 will not activate. The key has been blocked. I have used the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation tool and the software is valid. I tried the phone validation and received the same response. The key has been blocked. I phoned Microsoft Support who told me that the software was only valid for use on a network of 5 or more machines with a domain controller. It is not valid for home use. Is this accurate? I had some trouble installing Windows. I attempted to upgrade from Vista multiple times and the upgrade failed. In the end I did a clean install. I have read that if you install the operating system too many times this can caus

Windows 7 Re-activate?? Scratched Product Key
location: microsoft.com - date: March 7, 2013
I have a 2 year old emachines tower running 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. The OS came pre-installed and we've never had a problem until recently when it became corrupted and would not boot. Not having an emachines disk, I used a Dell W7 32 Home Premium CD to perform a repair install. I was astonished when the repair asked me for the product key. In the past I've done repair installs on WinXP and have never been asked for the key. The sticker is on the bottom of the tower and, although it's in a recessed area, something has scratched the last 3 characters in the third grouping. I entered what I thought was the key, was informed it was incorrect, but it let me continue the repair. The PC worked flawlessly, and I thought I w

Trying to reinstall Windows 7 without a Product Key--Please help
location: 7forums.com - date: January 21, 2012
Hi, my computer originally came with windows vista 64 bit. Last year, I was able to download a free upgrade to windows 7 through my university. I did a custom install and it upgraded without any problems. I am trying to re install windows 7 now, but I don't have a product key. I can't recall if I used one. I tried running the various key finders--jelly bean, speccy, etc-- and they all say "no key found." They show my MS Office key and windows 7 product ID-- but not a serial number. I've run about five key-finding programs and none can find a key. How is this possible? Did I not need one when I upgraded? I made a copy of the windows 7 download on a dvd-- I still have that. Is it going to prompt me for a product key or is it someho

I downloaded the Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 Debug/Checked Build from the MSDNAA, and I want to go to the regular version of Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1. Would I be able to download the normal Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 from, say, Digital River, and use the same key that I got with the Debug/Checked Build? Thanks in advance

Windows 7 wont turn off my laptop after shutdown
location: 7forums.com - date: June 14, 2011
Hi. I have been searching forever on forums for an answer, and i'm sorry, I can't find a solution that works for me. I installed a legit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and when I shut down the laptop, it goes through the normal processes, says logging off, then shutting down, then the screen goes black, but laptop remains on. My power button is lit up, my fans still run. The only way to get it to physically shut down is to hold that power button down. Same thing when I try to sleep it, or even restart. All my drivers are up to date, no conflicts in device manager. What is going on here?

We recently got a new windows 8 PC, we had a few networking problems, so we refreshed the PC, back to factory defaults. When it came back on, it said we had to activate PC, of course we dont have a key to use, as the laptop came with windows 8 on it. When I go to activate windows in settings, it says: 'Activation error description not found'. I dont have a clue what to do. when i try the 'Slui.exe 4' thing they ask me for this ID things, which of course i dont have, because it says description not found, any ideas?
