I need to know the activation code for cyberlink powerdvd10

Activation codes come with the software when you purchase it. If you lost your activation code or have to reactivate software that came pre-installed on your computer that may present a challenge. If it is from a pre-installed system check the manufactures website or contact them. If you lost the code that came with the disk then I'm sorry I believe you are out of luck, short of pirating the software, which I have done is such situations. There are many sites such as pirate bay that can help with that, but I don't recommend it, especially without an add filter (like adblock plus.) Another method is to google powerdvd 10 keycode and search the forums, this takes a really long time but occasionally works. Another method that is probably best, as long as you have previously registered the product with them and then they will give you a new key.

Activation key for it

Sounds like you need an activation key for your windows software. there is no activation key for a motherboard. If you purchased your computer from a store, there will be the actual actvation key on the case or the back of the computer, use that, that key is already in your software as the actual key to show ownership to microsoft when you activate it. I've had to do this numerous times for people when there warranties had run out.

I need registration key

If your computer is the 2400 like the catagory you have posted to, then your product key should already be on the side of your computer. If you lost it but still have the original disk set that came with the machine, You can reinstall from the original Dell disks and not be asked to activate your product since the key and activation are preloaded from the Dell factory disk. Otherwise you will have to buy a product key from a computer store. It will probably have to be purchased from a small computer store or online since places like Best Buy and Staples were forced to stop selling the XP products in January. The average price for an OEM CD with Certificate of authenticity is about $99 depending on where you get it. Hope this helps...

Problem with replaced motherboard

I believe I can explain what is going on. My solution may be a little lengthy. Please bear with me.

Microsoft has a Users License agreement.
One genuine copy of Microsoft Windows per One computer.

When Windows is installed on a computer it assigns 'codecs', to specific major hardware components inside the computer.
1.Processor

2.Harddrive

3.Motherboard, (More specifically the BIOS program, and version, on the BIOS chip.
'Chip' is a slang term for Integrated Circuit. The BIOS chip is installed on the motherboard)

4.Graphics chip, [ GPU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU ]

You may think of Codecs in this instance as serial numbers. Serial numbers assigned to these various hardware components. In reality they are not serial numbers. Your personal information, is Not recorded with this hardware information.

Microsoft invented a method, to try to insure that their software would not be stolen. To help insure that their software, would not be installed on more than one computer.

Generally, if more than two components are changed, this shoots up a red flag that their software is being stolen.
Change a motherboard, and you are changing two hardware components.
The BIOS program, and the graphics chip.
[This is IF, it is not the same exact motherboard. But even that is no insurance]

After the motherboard is changed out by the tech, the tech then needs to Activate the Operating System again.

(Windows XP and Windows Vista are two examples of an Operating System. I am also referring to Activate, and not Register. You are required to Activate the operating system. You are Not required to Register it)

This can be done online through the internet, or by calling Microsoft.

There is a new Product Key for your computer now. You can't use the old Product Key.

(The Windows Product Key can be found on the back of a desktop computer, or up on the side, {Top}, of the computer case.
It is located on the bottom of a laptop)

My advice would be to take the computer back to this shop, infer that you are dissatisfied, and would like the problem fixed. Tell them that you run a business with the computer, and time is money!
