If you have Windows 8 there are only 2 ways to install 8.1. I am not sure what Windows 8 does but Windows 7 responds with "this license cannot be authenticated", not that it is invalid.īecause Windows 8 will not install without a key being entered there is a set of temporary keys which will pass for the installer but will not authenticate for continued use. The right version of Windows this will fail because the server will recognise it as a key that does not require authentication. If the key used is the one extracted from the system even if it is for If you then download an ISO of Windows it will be a version that needs authentication so you then have to enter a key. Need authentication, the Windows installation is pre-authenticated. These keys will only work with the pre-installed version of Windows supplied to the manufacturer and don't
These keys are secure not because they can't be found (as obviously they can) but because they cannot easily be replicated on a non factory board. Have all the manufacturer keys for Windows 7. Because they are all the same and anybody can run Belarc any post on the web will refer to the same key so yes it is very likely it is all over the Web. There will be a separate key set for them.

So every HP laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled will have the same key, for 8 Pro a different key but on every laptop again, now system come with 8.1 preinstalled The main system manufacturers each have one key for each of the versions of Windows they install. It's time for me to change my loyalties away from Microsoft and Hewlett Packard. Microsoft, please give me a Product Key that will work to activate your FREE upgrade!!
A Key that I have no idea where it came from!!!

Now Microsoft's Activation Server won't activate this FREE upgrade because of an INVALID Product Key. Microsoft kept encouraging me to get a FREE upgrade to Win 8.1. HP's tech support is worse than Microsoft. They dumped the problem on Hewlett Packard stating that HP should give me the Product Key I need. They remotely accessed my PC and spent hours trying to solve this problem. I spent hours on the phone with Tech Support. He promptly let me know that he could be of no further assistance and referred me to an 800 telephone number to contact MS Technical Support have been through this route before. He determined that this number is INVALID and advised me that I will need a PRODUCT KEY. The agent at the Activation Site promptly asked me for the long string of numbers on the Activation Page.

I followed your instructions and now I have come full circle with no answer. MS Store did not provide a key with the download.
How do I activate Windows 8.1 since I have no product key. It's no wonder that MS has blocked this key. I used an application that showed the last fifteen(15) characters of the product key in my PC for Win 8.1 and they match the product key that I found all over the web. I did a web search for the last five characters of the product key and it appears to be all over the web. Well, I never entered a product key during the upgrade so I'm not sure where the product key came from.
It also gives the last five(5) characters of the blocked product key. It gives me an error code of 0xc004c003 which states that the activation server has blocked my product key. This Activate Screen asks me to enter a Product Key. However, Win 8.1 did not get activated and I keep getting a reminder screen to Activate Win 8.1. The download was successful and Win 8.1 installed. This was an upgrade for Windows 8 which came installed on my new HP PC. About a week ago, I downloaded Windows 8.1 from MS Store.
