Hello,

My Windows 7 is not genuine, so I need to activate it.
But when I try to enter my product key, I press the 0 and it says that this character is not allowed!!!

What should I do??!
Thank you in advance

    Hello, are you sure it's a 0 and not an O?

      When I try to type the O, they also tell me that it is a forbidden character...

      Well, after a good headache, I found my problem, so I'm sharing it
      I had noted the number on the page: control panel/system where it says "Windows is activated Product ID and well, that's not the right number!!!
      I thought GRRRR but I found the CD again.

    Good evening...

    in a Windows license key, there are neither O nor 0....!!
    It is a code of 25 alphanumeric characters found on a sticker affixed to your machine...

    Hello, is the product key official or is it a pirated key?

    There is never a zero (0) in a Windows key, check if it’s not a Q

    Best regards
