Hi All ; just got this warning message - never seen it before -
" Windows licence will expire soon. You need to activate windows
in PC settings " by May 4 it will want a long authentication code.
Lenovo T500 laptop purchased used ~ 14 months ago.
Are you sure it was a *valid* license when you purchased it?
Esp given that the CoA doesn't agree with the reported OS version...
Were you given the original (re-)install media for the machine
at the time of purchase?
Sounds like that is likely what the problem is. When Windows is installed
it needs to be activated, otherwise it will only work for a certain
amount of time. If he has the activation code, then activate it.
If not, then I guess it's time to contact the seller, if they can be
found.
