Need valid Product Key for Vista Ultimate.....

R

rebell

who/where may I call? Or who/where may I email for valid Product Key for my
Vista Ultimate Upgrage?

In early December, I upgraded my new HP Slimline s3120n that came with Vista
Home Edition pre-installed. Since upgrading, I have attempted to activate my
Vista Ultimate several times only to have the Product Key rejected each time.
Up until yesterday, after each failed attempt to activate ovfer the past 5-6
weeks, the program nonetheless loaded and I was allowed to continue using my
computer, with the Ultimate Upgrade, without a problem.

However, yesterday, another balloon popped up requesting me to activate my
Ultimate Upgrade. This time, upon being rejected, I get an error code
00XC004F061 - 'unauthorized copy of Vista Ultimate' I am then directed to a
menu driven sight indicating I must purchase a new product key from
Microsoft!!! I bought my Upgrade at Staples early last Summer and paid
$259. Why am I being forced to purchased a prodcut key now?! BTW, I had
one heck of a time upgrading my Home Edition to begin with - I had to
reconfigure my HP two times before the upgrade 'took'.

I prefer a direct phone number (or email, chat) to Microsoft to resolve this
issue. BTW, I did perform a Clean Install as instructed on both Microsoft's
Forum and the back of the Vista Ultimate Upgrade box. I can scan either my
receipt or Staples statement and email as proof of purchase if needed. I
just need my computer up and running - I have work to do!

ok you spent your money now so its too late..

but if you knew this before you got vista, would you perhaps select XP
instead?

You can reset your Windows Vista activation by performing the following:

1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4

2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

3. Select your Country.

4. Follow the instructions for phone activation.

5. Once completed, restart your computer.

But he is essentially correct. One should not have to go through such
absurd hoops and end up with a nice shiney paper weight.

That will work, though you may end up feeling like a trained seal.
Honestly, I do not know why people put up with this sort of infuriating
bull.

The WPA/WGA crap is the main reason I checked out and use Linux.
Microsoft made BILLIONS with Windows before XP when there wasn't such
crap. Sheer greed and total disdain for paying customers are the ONLY
reasons that crap was instituted.

Tell us, mr whatever your name is...why you can't get one little install
of Vista to run properly?
You seem so frustrated and confused. Are you so stupid and incompetent
that you can't master Vista like the other millions of users have?
Is that your problem mr nobody?
Or are you just trolling for 13 yr olds who live in East LA?
Well...which is it mr loser?

trained seal.. NOW I know what you mean.. I just re-activated mine
(also Ultimate..) the guy where I purchased my computer (Velocity
Micro) explained to me that sometimes when you make any changes or
additions to the hardware Vista detects this, sends the info to MS and
they ask you to activate it again.. apparently when it detects new
hardware it's just checking it's still installed in the machine it was
originally installed in... and if it's not, then, well, it's not a
legitimate copy of Vista...
(in my case the new hardware was the card the cable co. put in the back
of the machine so I can get cable TV.. as small a piece of hardware as
that is...)

This is exactly one of the biggest flaws. Trying to attach the OS to a
particular set of hardware, when the user has every right to change any
part of the computer out, including the motherboard (and a mobo by
itself is NOT a computer.) This is one of the biggest legitimate reasons
imho for using a clean windows activation remover so you never have to
deal with that part again - weather you're dealing with XP or Vista.

While I would never do it for a customer (unless asked explicitly, and
even then, never as an official job, but sometimes as a side job if it's
someone I know/have a good ties with and thye consider it a massive
favor.)
