The acquisition of a stand-alone product key does not yet authorize the use of a licensed computer program (Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt am Main, 30.01.2014 – 11 W 34/12). Therefore, you must also acquire an authorization to use it in the form of a software license (Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt am Main, 18.05.2010 – Az. 11 U 69/09).
For offline validation steps, download options and more, see these RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NON-EXPERIENCED USERS. IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED WITH THE WINDOWS VALIDATION, PLEASE RUN STEPS 1 TO 4 AND SEND US A PHOTO/SCREENSHOT OF YOUR STEP 4 (SEE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NON-EXPERIENCED USERS) SO THAT WE COULD HELP. THE REQUIRED SCREENSHOT LOOKS LIKE THIS (SEE THE EXAMPLE BELOW) : DLV.jpg IMPORTANT : Please note that the Windows Installation-ID (as initially generated by the Product Key on your PC) must stay permanent for the life of your Windows. Major hardware changes (such as, for example, a new hard drive, new graphic card, or the use of a virtual/clone drive) will change the PC-configuration and the Installation-ID. Any new Installation-ID from this same Key may be accepted by the Windows Update Server as a second PC on the same Key and may lead to the deactivation of the Key, because it is a 1-PC-Key, which can be used for an activation on 1 PC only.
