Does this Win7 come with a Product Activation Key? I noticed in some of the comments that they had problems in finding a key or in registering.

Yes it does come with a key. It is located on a small multicolor peel-off sticker. You will probably need a magnifying glass to read it (at least my old eyes did.)

No product activation code provided. Amazon TOTALLY unhelpful. Advise me to a) look on the CD case (duh) or b) call Microsoft! Would NOT PURCHASE ANY SOFTWARE FROM THESE CLOWNS. I am trying to get my money refunded.

This is a fully functioning developer version factory sealed by Microsoft. The product key is included. I had no problems installing or registering, but this is NOT the retail version so you will not have any technical support available.

Yes, this product comes with an official Microsoft COA label (Certification of Authentication) which is your activation key)

I have windows 7 and this product doesn't even work on my computer. I don't know if it is my computer or the product. As for your system, some of the newer systems have a program that you can open it in the win 7. If you right click on the icon, there is a trouble shoot compatibility if you bought it already, otherwise I wouldn't get it and look for a different system.

Is this the first time that it has been used? And are you sure that it is not an upgrade? There is a way to get your key to work if you installed the upgrade as a full version. You can google it on the web, or do the following: Press the Windows key and type regedit(press enter)Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE(double chick on the)MediabootInstall(key in the right pane) Change the key's value from 1 to 0. Ext the registery, press the windows key again and type cmd. Right-click on the comand prompt icon and run it as an administrator. type: slmgr /rearm(press enter) reboot Windows. When you get back into Windows, you should be able to run the activation utility and activate Windows.

Yes, to verify you have a legitimate license key. Registry is optional though.

This comes with a product key, but for windows 8 operating system, does not include microsoft office. I think you may have to get pro (or consider a free alternative like open office or libre office)

The one I purchased, from ryanaderholtz550, does have whatever is necessary (serial number, "keycode", etc.) to make it work You must register it with microsoft however.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Yes this product does come with a new product key, ready to activate. -Thanks

Yep, it sure does. Even though Windows 8 is terrible.. You'll need the product key (inside your game box) when it prompts you to enter it. Try going to us.battle.net/wow and look at the forums for help there if you have any further issues. Good luck!

It should replicate it completely. Worst case it may ask you for the Win 7 Key.

Sorry I really don't know. I think the key only unlocks the disk and allows files to be installed. Once you install it and updated you get a different product key. If you right click on the left bottom of screen on the windows icon and then click on System. Once the window pops up scroll down to the bottom and you will see where is says Windows Activated and Product ID. I don't know if it would take the number or not. The number is program into the disk and may not be an online number. All you can do is try or call Microsoft, I don't think it would work.

Your best bet is to contact Microsoft and ask them to find your product key, with the receipt you should have enough info so MS could find your product key.

It was a downloaded version so if I remember correctly it just loads. Since I brought it for 3 users the anti-virus software was stored in Amazon library so I later downloaded it to a second labtop. I think the activation key is posted in the library because I needed it the second time I downloaded since it will load the trail version and then activate the full version when you put in the activation key.

AnonyMouse, When facing the front of the system, look on the side panel to your right. In the top corner nearest the front, you will find a label. This is the Certificate of Authenticity or "COA". The product key is located on the label. If you have any other questions, or need assistance in activating Windows, please contact our friendly Customer Service Team; they will gladly assist you. We can be reached, toll-free, by phone at 855-490-2569 or by email, at: support@cybertronpc.com. Please reference 'DY44'.

The one I received had a "legal" product key... meaning it was accepted by Microsoft when I activated the installation ...

It came with Windows installed, and also a generic disc. However, after about two months, I got a message that the Windows was not authentic. The disc would not re-install. I contacted tech support and they walked me through it remotely. It works fine now with "authenticated" Windows.

No. It's just the computer. And it was supposed to come with Windows 7. Technically, it did, but they didn't include the complete serial number, so when we had problems with the computer, we had to buy Windows 7. Customer service with the company we bought it from was almost non-existent. It took several days to get an e-mail response and they never did fix the serial number issue. The computer has worked OK since taking it to Best Buy (which was another hassle), but I would be very reluctant to recommend the computer or the seller.
