I had a pre installed window but its activation key is different
I had a pre installed window but its activation key is different from the one on the sticker at the bottom of my laptop.
Actually , I have a toshiba laptop , which brought me to this forum some months back, After solving the problem , I never used it again but now I am looking to install win7 in it again , The problem came after I confirmed the activation key before downloading the .iso. The problem here is that The sticker on the bottom has not got the complete key , only 1st 12 letters are visible (2 of which are doubtful too) . Some months back , While I was having a harddisk issue , I was suggested to get the activation key through a software Jellybean I think, that key is still with me . Now when I match both are different , entirely different. My question is , WHY ?
and will this key from jellybean will work ?
Also there is an product id in the text file , will it be of any help ?
I also have the extracted cert file which I read somewhere was helpful too and I extracted it as a backup for the key.
I am a newbie so detailed answers will be appreciated
