Windows Activation
Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual property rights and the reduc-
tion of software piracy. Therefore Windows® 7 contains software-based product activa-
tion technology. Your copy of Windows® 7 has already been
activated for your All-In-
One PC .
Product activation is needed if some components of your All-In-One PC have been
replaced or you use a non-authorized BIOS. If necessary you can activate Windows
Vista
®
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 Prod-
uct-ID. However, activation needs your unique Product ID which can be found on the
Certificate of Authenticity sticker on your All-In-One PC housing. When you call,
please inform your agent that you are running an OEM-(SLP) version of the software.

In few cases it may still be required to activate Windows® 7. If an 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 ap-
pears.
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 com-
puter’s casing.
3. Acknowledge your entry and follow the instructions on the screen. Notify your
Microsoft consultant, if necessary, that you have an OEM license in connection
with your All-In-One PC.
