Validity of license?

Question
-
Recently had 4 tablet PCs at work error out after Windows Update stating that the licence is not valid.
I have taken a log of one of the tablets and attached it for review.
Could someone please read over this and explain exactly why the licenses are failing?

The product ID -222- Indicates a not for resale MSDN account. If you are not the account holder and you purchased this in a retail box, the box and it's contents are counterfeit. Demand an immediate refund from the seller

I assume this is triggered by KB971033? Or by manually running them through the advantage validation website?
Some are still functioning, I assume the keys just haven't reached their limit/been blocked yet?

assuming you purchased from the same source they will go bad sooner or later. (check the product ID's)
For MSDN Keys:-
MS can only act once a key hits a threshold (and they won't tell an outsider what that threshold is, understandably). They then have to put it through internal systems to ensure that all relevant parties are informed, just in case it's an oversight - then it enters the queue for the next update to the system. I have no idea how often the WAT checking system is updated, but I would suspect that it's no more than weekly because of admin and timing issues. The internal MS processes could therefore take easily a couple of weeks.
It therefore depends on how close to the end of a vendors sales list you are, and how quickly he's selling them.
The cannier ones will sell just enough to stay under the threshold for each product (MSDN subs include a huge number of products), until they've maximised the profits, then try and flood the market before disappearing into the sunset, laden with your cash. This could take anything up to a year or more.

Would it be advisable to call Microsoft with one of the keys that hasn't failed to see what it's classed as or can I just get it from the system properties with the 222?Monday, August 27, 2012 11:21 AM

BTW if it makes a difference these were supplied to us as OEM tablet PCs.Monday, August 27, 2012 11:27 AM

must have been typing at the same time.

If they were supplied with these keys installed then you need to have a talk with your vendor.
