First off, CableCard Tuner (such as ones similar to the Ceton card in this customer's computer) used to only be allowed in Pre-built computers from Large Manufacturers that had been certified by CableLabs (a research and development consortium of the Cable TV industry).
They used a Bios Flag system (similar to the OEM Windows Bios Flag used to allow self-activation PC built by Large Manufacturers) so that Cable Card Tuners would only work in PCs that had the Bios Flag. Microsoft (I think) also required that the tuner be activated using a Product Key.
Recently CableLabs relaxed their restrictions and allowed CableCard Tuners to be installed on non-certified PC (such a home built PCs and such). In addition, Microsoft also released the CableCard firmware update for Windows 7 from CableLabs.
Now I'm not completely certain, but I believe this update for Windows 7 is the reason we see the line in the Diagnostic Report "Name: Windows(R) 7, OCUR add-on for... " that should NOT be the cause of the Non-Genuine issue the customer is seeing. And Ceton is correct that they are not the cause of the issue either.
As to the Non-Genuine issue, I have check the Product Key and it is showing as having been purchased through the Microsoft Store (either Online or through one of the Retail Stores) and that the key has been Blocked due to it being "Returned".
If it was purchased through the Online Microsoft Store, it was a digital purchase and there isn't any real way to Return that type of software, so a reason of "Return" could mean something along the lines of either a) the customer requested their money back or b) there was some sort of problem with the payment method (Credit Card was denied or there was a Charge Back...so on) or some other situation that I haven't thought of.
If it was through one of the Retail stores, the only situation I can see a "Return" is if the customer actually physically returned the software.
Whatever the specific situation, the best way to find out the exact reason for the Block and to resolve the issue would be to work with the specific Microsoft Store or contact the Microsoft Store online support at http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Site_Contact_Us

Your Product Key has been Blocked for some reason - I'm trying to think of possible scenarios.....1) Your machine is one that was built before the release of Win 7 - you purchased a (potentially counterfeit) upgrade to Win 72) I have *never* yet seen the following lines in a MGADiag report.....Name: Windows(R) 7, OCUR add-on for Ultimate,HomePremium,Enterprise,Professional,ServerHomePremium,Embedded
Description: Windows Operating System - Windows(R) 7, RETAIL channel
.... which makes me think that this is the source of the problem.Can you give some kind of history to the system, and the Key, as you know it?

OCUR add-on is apparently a type of retail product key. A third party article mentions it at
http://keznews.com/2960_Vista_License_and_Product_Key_Terminology_Part_1
The article is about Vista keys and OCUR add-on is part of group 142:
Group ID 142:
Ultimate (Retail)
Business (Retail)
Business N (Retail)
Home Basic (Retail)
Home Basic N (Retail)
Home Premium (Retail)
ALL Volume SKUs (Volume CSVLK)
ALL Volume SKUs (Volume MAK)
Business N (Volume GVLK)
Business (Volume GVLK)
Enterprise (Volume GVLK)
Enterprise (Retail)
OCUR add-on (Retail)
CODEC add-on (Retail)OCUR is a cablecard tuner description (Open Cable Uni-directional Receiver) which requires a "DCT add-on license". The user may have an upgraded BIOS to support being Digital Cable Ready. If so, the BIOS upgrade might have affected the SLIC table. That would be an issue except that the user has a Type 5 license and not OEM. Or the BIOS may have shipped cable ready and this has nothing to do with his present problem.

thanks for the replies. yeah the card you are referring to is this:
http://www.cetoncorp.com/products.php
it's a card that has a slot to insert a cable card and allows me to record 4 streams at once (in HD). I built the PC myself and bought windows 7 directly from microsoft's website (downloaded from them).
i've had this card working for about 1 year and only just started receiving this problem (a week or two ago).
if it's being blocked - does that mean a call to microsoft could correct this?
thanks,

You can certainly call Microsoft Support Services if you want. Let's see what Noel suggests next. I would first check the motherboard manufacturer's site for a BIOS upgrade. Only upgrade the BIOS if your specific issue is addressed. Willy-nilly BIOS upgrades are risky. Also, check the cetoncorp website for upgrades. The last one was in March and may have dealt with SP1. http://www.cetoncorp.com/products.php

I have no idea - certainly call to MS is in order.Darin may be able to shed some light on it when he gets in to the office later.

thanks for your reply. i certainly did not return the software. that being said - i have a faint recollection that I had some issues when i first downloaded the software. but that was over a year ago and the system has been working fine since (up until very recently). but regardless - I hear you - I will contact the microsoft store.
thanks,
