Default Product Key on bottom of Laptop faded ! help


Hello,

The Product Key Number should be the one with 25 numbers and letters
broken up into 5 sections. The screenshots for the examples in this
tutorial may help you locate it better to.

Hope this helps,

I just prchased a laptop from a store. I couldnt find the product key.
So I
decided to look underneath the laptop. I located all the serial numbers
and
the product key. When I enter the product key I receive a message
saying that
it's wrong. I made sure the letters and numbers were correct several
times
but it still won't work. Can any help?

I'm not talking about generic OEM keys. Naturally the product key

you see in
a key finder program will match the one on the COA if you use a

generic
OEM.

However, unless the OP comes back with more information about the

situation,
the issue is moot and the thread is dead.
