Is it possible to migrate windows 8 license from 1 machine to another. I purchase one license and installed it in my old PC. No i purchased a new one and i want to transfer that license to my new machine, Can anyone please help me to transfer the same in my new machine.
Long story short  I have two computers: a laptop and a desktop computer. Both have Windows 7 on them.  I buy the Windows 8 Pro upgrade. To see if it screws up anything, I install it on my laptop as a guinea pig. I intend to use Windows 8 for my main computer, my desktop, but I want to test it on the laptop, so I know I don’t risk losing access to my desktop and the data on it. I never use my laptop, and only used it, because it already has a Windows 7 installation on it.  The problem  At some point, I must have entered the license key on my laptop, because when I go to the activation screen on my desktop, I get this:    Uh-oh. I can’t use the key on my desktop. Now how the hell do I transfer the key from my laptop to my desktop computer?  Answers and suggestions so far  Let’s just say that I tried everything possible to get some answers on this matter. The best response I got from Microsoft is this:     To install Windows 8 on your desktop, do the following:         Uninstall Windows 8 on your laptop   Afterwards, install Windows 8 on your desktop   If it won’t activate, call product activation at (...)      I am not a fan of that last point. The error message does allude to such a solution, however:     If you’ve reinstalled Windows or made changes to your hardware recently, you may be able to use your current key.   The question  My main question is this: has anyone been in a similar situation, and if so, what did you do to resolve this?  Failing that, what is the proper way to   uninstall the Windows 8 installation on my laptop, and reinstall the Windows 8 installation on my desktop?   Ad 1  I have already tried using the “reset” feature on my laptop, but that only resulted in a new Windows 8 installation that was already activated. But which is the right way to uninstall the installation in a way that allows me to use the license key on the desktop computer?  Ad 2  Which is the proper way to reinstall the Windows 8 installation on my desktop computer? Why do I even have to reinstall it in the first place?  I won’t get around to do this, until my USB key with 3.0 support arrives in the mail, but it is going to be a while, until I find a assuaging response to the best way to go about this anyway.
Why AccessViolationException cannot be caught by .NET4.0 Greek pdf bookmarks I am puzzled with sections titled with Greek characters. They do appear in the pdf's Content list, though not correctly.  For example, in my thesis--written in English with LyX, based on the KOMA-script--I choose to include a translation of the summary in Greek (=Περίληψη). The "raw" code for the (unnumbered) chapter title reads: \addchap{\textgreek{Per\char208lhyh}}. In the final .pdf file (using pdflatex) the respective entry appears as Per208lhyh. Using the unicode option for the hyperref package does not fix the problem.  Update detail: the document (should) not only contain Chapter or Section titles in Greek, but normal text as well.  I have found some relevant references within tex.stackexchange and elsewhere (e.g., , the manual of the textgreek package, , ). However, I cannot extract a concrete answer.  How can Greek characters appear correctly as bookmarks in the .pdf's Content list?  Note, the information of this Q&amp;A applies to/under LyX as well. What is the best way to vertically center the content of a div when the height of the content is variable.  In my particular case, the height of the container div is fixed, but it would be great if there were a solution that would work in cases where the container has a variable height as well. Also, I would love a solution with no, or very little use of CSS hacks and/or non-semantic markup. The  recommends that images have Copy-On-Write disabled on the directory when using btfs.  I do see that it would be a good idea if you had a lot of file read/writes.   question explores this idea.  I know that VMWare will grow into different files and will write snapshots out which could be problematic when using Copy-On-Write.  For QEMU the file is left open for the VMs existance so there is a potential problem in the write after the VM is shutdown, but I would see slow I/O after a VM is shutdown not being an issue.  What pitfalls would I be avoiding by performing this step for QEMU.    Additionally: I have assumed that the image is raw for this question.  Is there a possible stability issue as qcow2 already has copy-on write. How to forward specific log file outside of /var/log with rsyslog to remote server?

Java: Date from unix timestamp Cellcolor overwrites partial horizontal lines (\cline) So I need to make a colored table with multirows, together with the use of partial horizontal lines.

Is there any possible way on how to resolve this? Why don't we include $\rho g h$ in a hydraulic jack below? Can a legendary creature use a legendary resistance to pass a concentration check? As I was looking through some legendary creatures, I had a thought. Most legendary creatures get three Legendary Resistances per day, which they can use to automatically succeed on a saving throw.  A Concentration check is technically a Constitution saving throw, so does that mean that a creature can use a Legendary Resistance to automatically pass a Concentration check, or is it not considered a saving throw? Redirect STDERR and STDOUT to different variables without temporary files func() {     echo 'hello'     echo 'This is an error' &gt;&amp;2 }  a=$(func) b=???   I'd like to redirect the stderr to b variable without creating a temporary file.   echo $b  # output should be: "This is an error"   The solution that works but with a temporary file:  touch temp.txt exec 3&lt; temp.txt a=$(func 2&gt; temp.txt); cat &lt;&amp;3 rm temp.txt   So the question is, how do I redirect the stderr of the  function func to the variable b without the need of a temporary file? I want to run the command   python quast.py -o quast contigs.fasta   but I want to do this for multiple contigs.fasta files in multiple directories.  I'm running OSX. I read a book a while ago in which a device is invented which opens up "tunnels" back through time. These tunnels cannot be traveled through, but can be used to view what happened in the past. I believe it starts out narrating the invention of the device, then skips ahead to after it is widely in use. There is another device created, a cloak of sorts,  which hides the user from the view of someone using the tunnel device. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I need to print an image at a certain size. What dimensions and resolution should I use? (This question is meant to be a resource to direct others to given that this is a common question.)  Given the task of creating an image that will be printed at a certain size, what pixel dimensions and resolution should I be setting my file at? I would like to draw an arrow like this using TikZ:    This is taken from . I didn't succeed in reproducing the arrow; is somewhat beyond my (extremely limited) TikZ abilities. I don't need all the workflow stuff. I simply want to draw such an arrow at a certain place in my text, e.g. -->  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{&lt;???&gt;} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{&lt;???&gt;} \begin{document} Donec vehicula augue eu neque.

In episode 3 of The Mandalorian, it is said that Mandalorians never remove their helmets for any reason. Really? Not even to sleep or bathe? Is there any canonical source for this idea? I’m going to assume that the “never” implies “Never removes their helmets in public…” right?  But in flashback scenes to the Mandalorian’s childhood, nobody is really pictured wearing Mandalorian armor let alone helmets. They simply seemed like basic humans who might just be unified by wearing maroon wardrobes all the time.  So what is the deal with this claim? What is the canonical context of the claim?      Looking for in-universe, canonical explanations; not armchair speculation and theories. If none (currently) exist, legends explanation would suffice. Regardless, please provide references and context. Ability to retract reopen/delete votes It seems that now we can retract close votes but we cannot retract reopen votes or delete votes.  I am trying to retract my reopen vote  but it does not allow me to.  Can we have that ability?
