    Activating Problem


    Hey guys,
    So, I bought this new computer and it came with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, with 30 days of activation.

    Now, I want to activate it and I have a MSDN account, wich provides original keys for microsoft products.

    The problem is, even if I get one of those keys, my windows 7 says it is not valid.

    Any guess on how to fix it?

    I tried the keys for x64.

    Is there a sticker on your computer that says windows 7 with a 25 digit number on it?

    No as I didn't buy any OP to my computer because I had those MSDN keys.

    He just installed it so I could activate it.

    But for now I really don't know why its not accepting the keys.

    No idea, its probably a warez don't know..

    But the windows says :"You have 26 days to activate it"

    So I can use it for around 26 days (as I already used 4)

    If you have an MSDN account, I suggest you download a fresh, legal copy and make your own DVD. Then install it from scratch.

    I would have to format it, and I don't want to do it as I already installed over 70GB on my comp.



    Its in portuguese but I think you can understand it.

    If you can ask the things you wish me to traslate.

    It's very possible that you running a pirate copy of windows and therefore this forum cannot and will not assist you.

    But can't a pirate version of windows become a original one if I have a valid key? As microsoft would just give me a key if I buy it?
