Blocked Key

Question
-
I have bought a copy of windows 7 professional from Ebay, cost of £90.99
Validate checks out that it is a genuine copy, certificate of authentication is on the box and the disks seem to be genuine holographic disks. the only suspicion I had was that the manual appears to be poorly printed. Activation has failed, the product key appears to be blocked, have I been scammed?

Hello Shoshino,
You wrote, "Activation has failed, the product key appears to be blocked, have I been scammed?"
According to the report you posted, your installation of Windows 7 Professional has not yet been indentified as nongenuine. If it were identified as nongenuine, there would be error codes in the report.
Your installation of Windows 7 Professional is still within the initial grace period after installation, so it will pass Validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine.
Having written all of the above, it is however clear by looking at your Product ID ( 00371-220-6729605-86898 ) that your purchase of Windows 7 Professional was a purchase of a product that has the MSDN distribution channel as its source, so sooner or later the product key will be identified by Microsoft as an abused MSDN key and it will be blocked. As Carey noted, you can read about the MSDN product keys in the forum sticky here: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinewindows7/thread/a2444f34-0aff-4f29-a8ac-67e28b0c0285
Your time zone in the report indicates that you are in the UK, so you do not have to wait for the system to eventually ID your installation as nongenuine. You can follow the link in this forum sticky to send your materials to Microsoft for evaluation and possible complimentary replacement: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinewindows7/thread/4b6f01a4-4475-4e3b-a4e4-6ec921b785b8
