    apparently this samsung series 9 laptop had a SSD corruption recently and now is popping up windows activation errors.  the win7 pro install is original and 1 year old.  I have run MGAdiag and other apps to try to get the KEY, but there isn't one.  The MGA "greys out" the first 2 chunks of the KEY.

    How much of the MGAdiag output must I post here?

    reliable vendor.

    I took a look at an unboxing youtube vid for this type laptop which shows no COA sticker on the bottom of the case either

    and there is a disc even tho the laptop has no opt drive:

    www. youtube .com /watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b9iHHo4-p3g#t=105

    Just to be clear:  The info I provided is legit?  The hacker exploit is causing my problem? or you think the recovery disc is an exploit?

    Hate to take the back completely off the case including screws from under rubber feet to find that there isn't a sticker there either.

    thank you again for the help.  Waiting to hear from the vendor.

    From what I can see (very blurred) in that video Samsung appear to have broken the rules, and applied the COA sticker to the PSU case, rather than the machine itself.

    Have you checked that?

    All of it - apart from the http links, which don't contain any useful information, and which will prevent your report being posted anyhow.

    The more data we have the more likely you are to get a resolution.

    The installed Product Key is the Default Key for Win7 Pro. - which can never be activated.

    For what version and edition of Windows is the computer licensed, according to the COA sticker on the case?

    Assuming it's for Win7 Pro,

     

     You need to change the Product Key to the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case (or inside the battery compartment),  using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page.

     

     

    You may need to activate by phone.

    You have a "retail version of Windows 7 Professional installed with its default product key.  The only way you'll be able to activate is with a Windows 7 Professional product key.  Ask the owner of the PC for the Windows 7 Professional Certificate of Authenticity or Product Key label.

    The problem as stated is that there isn't a COA sticker on the case.  Never was one.  We are looking for where the sticker might be in packaging materials from a year ago.

    All was well for 12 months and now it claims it needs activation.  This is the original win7 pro install that came with the laptop.  The Battery is not easily accessed at all. This case is a very slim very light one and all that shows are main screws on the bottom.  Samsung support is no help.

    If the product key no longer exists, your client will have to purchase a new one.

    If there is no COA sticker at all on the case, then the chances are that the machine shipped without Windows pre-installed. The manufacturer is obliged to affix the sticker to the machine before it leaves the factory. As such you would have to purchase a full license to replace the counterfeit.

    Where did you purchase this machine?

    Not sure where it came from exactly.  My understanding is we bought via a vendor directly from Samsung pre-installed with the win pro7.  We've located the original system recovery disc labeled with SAMSUNG  windows 7 professions SP1.  No KEY on the sleeve the package or the diskc. I'll try to contact the vendor again for some help. Samsung was no help last time.  Any chance this recovery disc would fix the problem?

    thanks.

    It there was never a COA sticker, then I can pretty much guarantee that the machine did not come from Samsung with Windows pre-installed.

    Your Vendor may have been playing fast and loose with the licensing rules?

    There should not be a Key on the disk or the packaging - ONLY on the machine itself.

    Does the disk look like a professional reproduction, or an amateur one? Samsung are not known for their generosity with Recovery media!

    In theory, the SLIC table shows as being legitimate - but you run the risk of it disappearing on reinstalling from the Recovery media, since there's a distinct possibility that it's in fact the result of a hacker's Activation Exploit.

    Please contact Samsung Support and tell them you need a new copy of their Windows recovery media for that specific Samsung notebook PC.

    naturally, the last place I was going to look. I would get the laptop without the adapter and can't track it down right now.

    thank you for spotting that.  Looks to be the gadget we need.  Tomorrow, hopefully.

            You need to use the Samsung Windows 7 recovery disc to reinstall Windows 7.  There would be no need for a product key since it utilizes System Locked Pre-installation.

    I don't have access to the laptop anymore.  Maybe tomorrow.

    No choice for me to stick with it.  One way or another it was going to be fixed and my office window won't open, so....
