Problem with Acivation and Validation of WINDOWS 7 STARTER

[nonewem]

I had to run a clean format of my netbook Samsung NC10 plus. My recovery disk got formated so i couldn't provide recovery that way. I had to make Universal Drive for a 32bit Windows to get my Windows 7 back. Now I can't validate my Windows with the COA sticker product key and I have only another 21 days left! What can i do?

Below is my MGADiag report:

neither of those two worked. any other ideas??

Where did you get your Windows DVD from?

 

[NoelDP]

The Key in use here is the Default Key for Windows starter - It's the only one in the world that's a Retail Key

You need to change the Key to the one on the COA sticker (NOT one found in the disk, or by a KeyFinder app like Magical Jelly-Bean or Belarc Advisor)

The COA sticker can be found on the bottom of your b=netbook - or possibly in the battery compartment.

If you cannot find the sticker, then you should order a set of Recovery disks from Samsung, and use those for a proper Recovery to factory condition.

i had to create a Universal drive so i got the iso file from the internet and used that for Universal DVD. My COA sticker is faded and its really hard to read a part of the product key. How can i change the Key?? I tried that but it didnt seem to work?

 

[seavixen32]

You can't change the key. The whole point of a COA install is that the product key on the sticker is your licence to install a copy of Windows the same as was installed on your computer.

You may want to download another ISO as it's quite possible the one you're using is corrupted in some way.

Forgive me for sounding very cynical, but whenever we try and verify where and how Windows was obtained, the product key always seems to be unreadable - quite uncanny really.

Whenever I buy a new computer or new software the first thing I do is make sure the product key(s) are stored safely.

Yeah i wish my wife new that before using her netbook for two years! any idea what i should be looking for in that ISO or just get another 32 bit image?

 

[seavixen32]

Just get another image, and then use your COA product key.

If you can't decipher the COA key then Noel's advice is good.

 

[NoelDP]

Sorry - that's incorrect.
Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Windows Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:
A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the OEM Bios Flag found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Windows looks at the motherboard and sees the proper OEM Bios Flag (for that Manufacturer and that version of Windows) and Self-Activates.

B) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the battery compartment of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations (such as when the OEM SLP key stops self-activating for whatever reason). The key must be activated by Phone.


It is very easy to change the Key in ANY installation of Windows - if the option isn't present in the System properties page, click on the Start button, and type in the Search box 'SLUI 3' (without the quotes) - this will bring up the Change Product Key Wizard, whic will guide you through the process of entering the Key, and activating the result.

Thanks for the update Noel, it's something I wasn't aware of.
