Quite often, such an unpleasant situation arises: the activation of Windows 7 has flown. Moreover, this problem is typical for both licensed products and pirated ones. Depending on which version of the system software you have installed, you must select the appropriate way out of this situation. If you are a happy owner of a licensed product - you can immediately contact Microsoft. But with pirated software, everything is much more complicated, and you may even need to reinstall it.
If when buying a PC you bundled it with Windows 7 (Ultimate or Professional, for example), then it should have a sticker with the OS key on it. If an activation failure message appears, just enter this key again and the problem should disappear. If the result is not received and the message that activation of Windows 7 has flown off continues to appear periodically, days are counted until the end of the trial period of work - it makes sense to contact the service support. Usually there are two services. The first is from the manufacturer of the system unit, the second is from the developer of the system software (that is, Microsoft itself). It is better to call or write to both organizations at once and try to get practical recommendations regarding license recovery.
Owners of a pirated version of the operating system are much more likely to encounter a situation where Windows 7 activation has flown. Most often this problem occurs when installing an OS update called KB971033. There are several options for overcoming this situation. The easiest is to disable regular software updates. But this solution is not perfect: your PC will be vulnerable and hackers, if desired, can harm it. In the second case, you can immediately download updates and only then perform activation using the program.
Let us dwell separately on the procedure for choosing a special recovery tool. If a message appears stating that your activation of Windows 7 has flown, you need to enter the query: “Windows 7 Activator” into the search engine line. In the list that appears, select the most suitable product, in your opinion. Before downloading, you need to view reviews and make sure that this program is workable. If there are negative statements addressed to her, then it is better to continue the search. And only after a product with a lot of positive reviews is found, it can be downloaded. Also included with the program is an instruction describing actions that will help restore the legalization of the operating system.
Activation for Windows 7 allows you to use all the features of the product in full. Of course, you can work for some time without carrying out this procedure, but the regularly appearing message that the OS has not passed the authentication check, the black background of the desktop will be annoying at least. Therefore, when such a situation arises, it is better to solve it immediately and fix the problem.
In light of the development of the situation on the software market, it is recommended to buy only a licensed option. Otherwise, you may find yourself in an unpleasant situation when you are interested in the appropriate services and confiscate all your computer equipment. And this can freeze work for a long time and is associated with a possible loss of information (at least).
