In order to continue using the operating system or other software, you must enter a special code in the activation window, which is available based on the serial number of the product. Activation can often be done over the phone or over the Internet.
Necessary
Internet or telephone access
Instructions
Step 1
To activate the Windows operating system (regardless of version), find the license code for the software product. If you already had a preinstalled distribution kit, inspect the computer case for a Microsoft service sticker. If you have a boxed version, look for the license code on or inside the box.
Step 2
If you only have an installed distribution kit without a code, purchase a license for this software product on the official Microsoft server or in stores in your city, which is undesirable due to the frequent sale of pirated software. Be careful when paying online, it is best to use the virtual keyboard.
Step 3
Enter the license code of the Microsoft Windows software product into the activation window, after making sure that you have an Internet connection. After that, wait until the activation code is generated on the developer's server, then you will be sent an unlock code for the software product, which gives you the right to use it legally. Rewrite it in case of reinstallation to reduce activation time.
Step 4
If you have chosen the method of activation by phone, dial the number indicated in the appeared window of the program. After that, enter the service menu, where by pressing the buttons you will need to select the activation of a copy of Windows (the phone must be switched to tone dialing in advance).
Step 5
Enter the license code of your software product, receive confirmation from the auto-reply system and wait until the activation code is dictated to you. Enter it if needed, press the corresponding menu button to repeat. Much the same sequence is valid for other licensed software.
