Windows 7 Professional product key

[zeezam]

I have a clean windows 7 pro image that I use on my wds.

I tested with a new shipped lenovo x200 with oem licens, installed from wds and on the finish I typed in the windows 7 pro AO key.

When I tried activate the license in windows I got this message;

"The Windows 7 Professional product key you typed is invalid for activation"

Any ideas?

You can't activate Windows with the OA key on the internet. Or are you using the key on the COA?

I'm using the key that are labeled on the machine.

Like this one;

How do I find the COA SLP?

That key is for their recovery media. You can't use the COA (sticker) key along with SLIC, or at least it isn't supported.

I think there are posts about how to get the key from the install. You'll have to search for it. I can't tell you anything about it myself.

To some of my computers lenovo only send windows xp media.
