Upgrading Your Operating System 7

Activating Your Windows License

NOTE: During the installation procedure, if you inserted the Product ID using

the Certificate of Authority (COA), you must activate your license with Microsoft.

NOTE: For more information on reinstalling your operating system, see the

Getting Started Guide.

License activation technology is used to help prevent illegal software

copies from one system to the next. Dell systems that are preinstalled with

the Windows operating system do not require license activation. The need

for activation is indicated by an Active Windows window and a

corresponding icon on the taskbar.

When a new license is installed on your system, activation is required.

Windows license activation is required if:

• Your preinstalled Windows license is overwritten with the COA

Product Key when you reinstall the

operating system.

• You are upgrading your system from one supported edition to another

supported edition.

Windows license activation is not required if you reinstall the operating

system using the operating system media kit that is included with your

system.

Administrators are reminded at each login and at intervals of 30 days to

complete the activation procedure. If license activation does not occur

after 30 days, the user is blocked from logging into the system. The system

is functional and the services remain active. However, the user must

activate the license immediately after logon to continue using the system.

To activate your license, from the Administrator account, double-click the

Windows Activation icon on the task bar or run the following command

from the Start→ Run window:

C:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

To activate Windows, perform one of the following procedures:

• Activate Windows Using the Internet

• Activate Windows Using the Phone
