Windows Activation; Product Activation On Your Netbook - Medion AKOYA E1228 Bedienungsanleitung

Windows Activation

Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual property rights and the reduction
of software piracy. Therefore Windows® 7 contains software-based product activation
technology. Your copy of Windows® 7 has already been activated for your netbook.
Product activation is needed if some components of your netbook have been replaced or
you use a non-authorized BIOS. If necessary you can activate Windows® 7 as often as
requested.
You will probably need to activate Windows® 7 by telephone even if Internet Activation is
available. This is due to the pre-activated SLP version which runs with a special Product-ID.
However, activation needs your unique Product ID which can be found on the Certificate
of Authenticity sticker on your netbook housing. When you call, please inform your agent
that you are running an OEM-(SLP) version of the software.

Product activation on your Netbook

In few cases it may still be required to activate Windows® 7. If activation via the internet is
acknowledged with an error message you should perform the following steps.
1. Please select the telephone activation and click until the related screen appears.
2. Now click on Change Product Key. A new window appears. Enter the product key.
This is located on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), on the computer's casing.
3. Acknowledge your entry and follow the instructions on the screen. Notify your
Microsoft consultant, if necessary, that you have purchased an OEM license with
your computer.
