Office 2007 validates on line OK but pop up says it is not valid.

Question
-
I am using a second hand machine and there were some issues with an earlier installation of office 2003. I updated with a retail box of office 2007 --- did not validate. I uninstalled and purchased a full retail version of office 2007 professional. Installed and when tested on line it validates just fine .
The pop up, however keeps coming back and each time I retest the validation and it is OK ??!!
On one of the threads it was suggested that the diagnostic tool (1.9.006.1) be used. I tried that and get this result under the office tag:-

Hello Dave zx,
Your situation is similar to user "Forrykook" who posted his situation in this thread: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuineoffice/thread/155acfc6-ad16-4b78-8a46-33df357a642d
IMO your first choice would be to inform the seller of the Nongenuine nature of the product, having them refer to these threads for reference if necessary, and to ask for Genuine copy of Office or a full refund. Please DO NOT settle for "another product key" that might work, because its likely that you will just get another bogus product key that might work for a day, a week, a month, before it, too is idenified as Invalid or Blocked.

Thanks StephenI think it is all here:-In the office section I get this :-"Office Status: 108 Invalid VLK" Reading some of your responses to others with this problem it suggests I have been sold a copy of office that belongs to the owner of a volume license key ( is that correct?) I am pretty certain that it is otherwise genuine as it was shrink wrapped and looked brand new.If that is the case, what is my best course of action?RegardsDaveThis is the MGA Diagnostic Report (1.9.0006.1):-----------------------------------------WGA Data-->Validation Status: GenuineValidation Code: 0Online Validation Code: N/ACached Validation Code: N/AWindows Product Key: *****-*****-2MDY9-F6J9M-K42BQWindows Product Key Hash: jY+nlE0RT38EEXpeUqSdQPABSQc=Windows Product ID: 76487-OEM-2211906-00101Windows Product ID Type: 2Windows License Type: OEM SLPWindows OS version: 5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0.proID: {1EC7DC3A-E4A8-46D0-B3FF-72C2F4932A4E}(3)Is Admin: YesTestCab: 0x0WGA Version: Registered, 1.9.9.1Signed By: MicrosoftProduct Name: N/AArchitecture: N/ABuild lab: N/ATTS Error: N/AValidation Diagnostic: 025D1FF3-230-1Resolution Status: N/AWgaER Data-->ThreatID(s): N/AVersion: N/AWGA Notifications Data-->Cached Result: 0File Exists: YesVersion: 1.8.31.9WgaTray.exe Signed By: MicrosoftWgaLogon.dll Signed By: MicrosoftOGA Notifications Data-->Cached Result: 108Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002WGATray.exe Signed By: MicrosoftOGAAddin.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002OGA Data-->Office Status: 108 Invalid VLKMicrosoft Office Professional Plus 2007 - 108 Invalid VLKOGA Version: Registered, 1.6.28.0Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80096010Office Diagnostics: B4D0AA8B-604-645_77F760FE-153-80070002_7E90FEE8-175-80070002_B4D0AA8B-604-645_B4D0AA8B-604-645_025D1FF3-230-1Browser Data-->Proxy settings: N/AUser Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Win32)Default Browser: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exeDownload signed ActiveX controls: PromptDownload unsigned ActiveX controls: PromptRun ActiveX controls and plug-ins: PromptInitialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: PromptAllow scripting of Internet Explorer Webbrowser control: DisabledActive scripting: AllowedScript ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: AllowedFile Scan Data-->Other data-->Office Details: <GenuineResults><MachineData><UGUID>{1EC7DC3A-E4A8-46D0-B3FF-72C2F4932A4E}</UGUID><Version>1.9.0006.1</Version><OS>5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0.pro</OS><Architecture>x32</Architecture><PKey>*****-*****-*****-*****-K42BQ</PKey><PID>76487-OEM-2211906-00101</PID><PIDType>2</PIDType><SID>S-1-5-21-3262688247-2298578237-1878174430</SID><SYSTEM><Manufacturer>Hewlett-Packard</Manufacturer><Model>HP xw4300 Workstation</Model></SYSTEM><BIOS><Manufacturer>Hewlett-Packard</Manufacturer><Version>786D3 v01.08</Version><SMBIOSVersion major="2" minor="4"/><Date>20060310000000.000000+000</Date><SLPBIOS>Compaq,Hewlett,Hewlett,Compaq</SLPBIOS></BIOS><HWID>AF573BFF0184607D</HWID><UserLCID>1409</UserLCID><SystemLCID>0409</SystemLCID><TimeZone>New Zealand Standard Time(GMT+12:00)</TimeZone><iJoin>0</iJoin><SBID><stat>2</stat><msppid></msppid><name>Hewlett-Packard</name><model>HP xw4300 Workstation</model></SBID><OEM/><GANotification><File Name="WgaTray.exe" Version="1.8.31.9"/><File Name="WgaLogon.dll" Version="1.8.31.9"/></GANotification></MachineData><Software><Office><Result>108</Result><Products><Product GUID="{90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"><LegitResult>108</LegitResult><Name>Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007</Name><Ver>12</Ver><Val>259923516283586</Val><Hash>fiEau+rljtNCBDViI48Ljjq9rVM=</Hash><Pid>89409-707-6092533-65839</Pid><PidType>14</PidType></Product></Products><Applications><App Id="15" Version="12" Result="108"/><App Id="16" Version="12" Result="108"/><App Id="18" Version="12" Result="108"/><App Id="19" Version="12" Result="108"/><App Id="1A" Version="12" Result="108"/><App Id="1B" Version="12" Result="108"/><App Id="44" Version="12" Result="108"/></Applications></Office></Software></GenuineResults>Licensing Data-->N/AHWID Data-->N/AOEM Activation 1.0 Data-->BIOS string matches: yesMarker string from BIOS: 8619:Compaq Computer Corporation|1AF39:Compaq Computer Corporation|1FFEA:Compaq Computer Corporation|E698:Compaq Computer Corporation|11503:Compaq Computer Corporation|11503:Compaq Computer Corporation|1FFEA:Hewlett-Packard Company|E698:Hewlett-Packard CompanyMarker string from OEMBIOS.DAT: Compaq,Hewlett,Hewlett,CompaqOEM Activation 2.0 Data-->N/AFriday, March 13, 2009 12:33 AM

HI Dan
Thanks for the response. I have been back to the seller and have been assured that the product is indeed genuine and that perhaps I have some corrupt files on my machine. That is quite possible and I am trolling through options to check and clean the registry.
Regards
Dave

Hi Stephen
It was purchased online at the Trademe Auction site ( www.trademe.co.nz) . I have replied to your email alert with the contact and auction details.

Dan / Stephen
I had another read of the Forrykook thread and I think I am in exactly the same situation. The presentation of the product is immaculate but , as Dan mentioned, there is a very thin hologram label that is not present on any of the other microsoft disks I have . It presents a ridge on both the outside and inside " rings". There are also tiny little bubbles on the surface of the disks . The seller , as I noted above, has re assured me that it is genuine and the idea of refund does not seem to be getting any traction. I will file with your piracy program as I think this is an excellent "copy" that you should be aware of.
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave zx,
Thank you for your patience while working with us on your situation.
As noted in the "Forrykook" thread, Office 2007 Professional Plus does have Communicator 2007 and InfoPath 2007 included as part of the Office Suite, but does not have Business Contact Manager. On th other hand, the real Office 2007 Professional does not have Communicator and InfoPath 2007, and does have Business Contact Manager.
If you can verify that your Office 2007 product has installed, or offered to install during setup, Communicator and InfoPath, then despite being labeled and packaged as Office 2007 Pro, the contents of the CD are Pro Plus bits. The fact that the CD you received has that thin hologram label affixed to the top is also a significant indicator.
Could you make a note to post back to this thread when you get resolution of your case? As I understand it takes 4-6 weeks for MS to get back to you with their evaluation of the materials you send to them. I would like to know how you make out.
Good Luck!

Hi Dan
I have replied to the email alert but I don't know if you received it . Anyway I noted that the hologram is a stick on label and that I had a look at it with a surface microscope I use. At 40x the label is a joke , there are bits of what I suppose is glue smeared around the edges and tiny bits of fibre sticking out. The bubbles in the surface of the label look quite interesting. I guess they are probably 2 - 5 thou high but are quite "peaky" if that is the right word. As I mentioned, I have a set of upgrade office disks and comparing the holograms with these other disks , under the microscope, they have a smooth surface and are quite different.
According to the pop up I have 11 days to sort this out. I propose to uninstall the version I have and install a new version.
Regards
Dave

Hi Dan and Stephen
I have just heard from the Trademe people that they have spoken to Microsofts lawyers . I have purchased a retail version ( Small Business 2007 ) from a local nation wide chain store, uninstalled the old version and installed the real version and the MGA tool says that it is 100% genuine. ( Yee ha)
To sum up my experience, it was Dans comments about the stick on hollogram in another thread that put me on the right track. When the fake and real disks are side by side there really is no comparison. But when I first got the package there was absolutely nothing (obvious) that warned me it was fake.
So I guess I now have to sue the guy who sold it to me to get my money back.
Given the amount of trouble that the manufacturers have taken to do this , there must be thousands out there.
Cheers
DaveWednesday, March 18, 2009 5:04 AM
