A way to change the

Hi Forum.

I am currently having Issues with Activation on Windows 7 Professional. It says it cant connect to the KMS host and I was wondering I there was some chance of not making it activate via a KMS host and just activate like what Windows XP did and that was activating to the Microsoft server. I am sick and tied of having a box come up saying to activate everytime I start up the PC . I am not going to get a new copy of Windows because its a waste of money .

For which version and edition of Windows do you have a license? (Where did you get it from?)

The installed Windows is on a machine built in 2003 - so the License should be wither an Upgrade, or a Full Retail, (or an OEM System Builder). - which means that you will have the Product Key in the box in which Windows came.



You need to change the Product Key to the one on the POA label in the Windows case using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page.


You may need to activate by phone.

Hmm, maybe this is a scam copy. From where did you get it.

That is what I would call 'an unconfirmed source'. If you were in the US, you could get a Home Premium for $79. Maybe in the interim you could use a Linux distro. E.g. Mint Mate is a beautiful system. Download this PDF from my skydrive and you will see.

This copy of windows is showing all the signs that it is covered by a volume licence.

If you have purchased this copy legitimately from a commercial source, you should contact microsoft and inform them of all details of your purchase including a valid receipt. If you have been scammed by a commercial seller it is likely that Microsoft will supply a valid copy and key, and take proceedings against the seller.

If you have obtained this copy legitimately through your employer, you should contact your employer's IT department and they will arrange activation.

If you have obtained this copy via any other source then you will need to purchase another copy of the software.

Nigel, he swiped it off the server of his school (see posting #5). At least he has balls.

With 'interim' I mean in the meantime until you can buy a Windows 7 license.

I would not use Ubuntu. The new versions suck. You can download the newest Mint Mate version from here:

Linux Mint 16 "Petra" - MATE RC (32-bit) - Linux Mint

I gave you the 32bit version assuming that you have an older PC. But there is also a 64bit version.

Here is a picture of how the desktop and start menu of my Mint Mate looks.
