Vista - PID is invalid

12-13-2007

I wonder if anybody has any suggestions what I could do in such a hapless
situation. I tried to obtain help from Windows Live OneCare and was unable to
register because Product ID was invalid. I entered the ID I found in my
computer according to the instructions. I am worried if that was just a
technical glitch or a more serious problem. What baffles me most, there is no
help available in such a situation.

Hi Remigijus,

Are you trying to activate Vista or register Windows Live OneCare?

If you are trying to activate Vista, then you may just need to do a phone activation to do it. See this tutorial for how.

Activate Vista by Phone

I'm not sure about Windows Live OneCare.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I'm having the same problem. I purchased and ASUS laptop via NewEgg, and
when I try to get support from MS, the website tells me the product ID is
invalid.
