Those who have Acer with Windows vista. When I start up my computer there's an error message says that your activation period has expired because you didn't activate the product key in 30 days. I tried retyping the product key but it stills not working. You will receive an error message says "The product key you have entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista". You must either run Windows Vista setup (whitch it won't run with no windows in it) or enter a Vista Buesiness product key. I NEED HELP!!!

Hi. It sounds like you have the 'Business' edition of Vista. Find the Vista license key label and call Microsoft. (It is not a computer issue.)

Microsoft's latest policy for antipiracy is to call them and get a key so that they can track every computer this is called activation. When you install a new version windows you have 30 days time to call them. So your 30 day period is expired. When you buy a computer it comes with an OEM installation which is already activated by the company, in your case Acer. In case you havnt got that you much check their policy and get a good computer which is properly configured or if they say they do not do it. Then go ahead call the Microsoft and activate it. Make sure you have a microsoft genuine product and the sticker with correct license number for the version of windows you have on the machine.

you must call Microsoft and fix this problem, It will save you on the long run.
Just active it on phone.
If you use the key 3 times then thats why its not working.
