Question
-
I ran the diagnostic report below, but am new to the forum and to have it sent directly to you via the Reply didn't do anything. So I just am starting a new question. My office products periodically has the popup box say they are not genuine (Microsoft Office). The report seems to say that they are showing up genuine. If someone can't figure this out, I might have to try going through a proxy server if a foreign IP address is causing this problem.

Hello Truth and Integrity,
Here is a snippet of your mgadiag report:
OGA Data-->
Office Status: 114 Blocked VLK 2
Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage - 114 Blocked VLK 2
OGA Version: Registered, 2.0.48.0
Signed By: Microsoft

The report is telling us that you have a nongenuine installation of a Volume Licensing-only edition of Office XP Pro with Front Page. Your installation was done with a now-blocked Volume Licensing Key (VLK).
This situation has nothing to do with your current location. Moving to Kuwait and seeing this Notification is simple a matter of conincidence.
Volume Licensing editions of Office such as your installation of Office XP Pro with Front Page are not to be sold to individual consumers, and are only to be sold to larger businesses, educational institutions, and governmental agencies who need flexibility in installing and deploying many copies of Office.
These Volume Licenses should not be sold to consumers because they are not permanent licenses; they are subject to a current Volume Licensing Agreement that has a finite term, sort of like a lease. Consumers thinking they purchased permanently licensd software would understandably be upset when their software stopped working at the end of a lease.
If you purchased Office XP Pro with Front Page thinking you were buying genuine retail Office Professional for consumers with a permanent license, please return the software to the place of purchase for replacement or a full refund.
You can also review the Office Genuine Advantage FAQ to see if you qualify for the discounted or complimentary replacement program called the Office Genuine Offer: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx?displaylang=en&sGuid=4ba10af9-ffaa-4cb9-9af4-6aff8a220262#ID0EKNAC

Note: There are a number of reason why your Office would be using a Pirated key. The three most common are:
1) You may have bought the software from a unscrupulous seller who sold you pirated software.
In which case I recommend, if possible, contacting that seller and demand the Genuine Microsoft software, that you paid for or at least a refund. I also recommend submitting a Piracy Report at http://microsoft.com/piracy
or
2) You had your computer worked on (by a repair person, a friend or that smart kid down the street) and in the course of fixing the PC, they had to reinstall Office. Instead of contacting you to get the proper Product Key, (maybe due to not knowing it was wrong or due to laziness) they downloaded it from the internet.
In this case, you probably have a Genuine copy (and Product Key) of Office, you just need to uninstall the Non-genuine one and reinstall the software using the proper (Genuine) Product Key
or
3) A repair person, a friend or that smart kid down the street may have thought they were doing you a Favor by installing a copy of Office on your computer, "for Free". But in fact he/she installed a Pirated Copy. It's all togeather possible they didn't know they were doing anything wrong and thought they were just being nice.
In this case, the best way to resolve the issue would be to uninstall the software and if you still want to use Office, buy it from a trusted retailer or online store.
Thank you,
