Genuine copy of office failing on one computer

Question
-
We are a small company and bought Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 upgrade from John Lewis a while ago. I understand this version allows for licensed installation on multiple computers although I am not sure how many. (the upgrades were all fine as we had a compatible MS Works installed on all computers) We have 3 work computers on which the product is installed, although we also had it installed on a previous work laptop which is not used at work any more. The package is working on all computers except this one where only recently has been getting a message saying that this copy is not genuine and the product will be marked as not genuine in about 11 days.
When I ran the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostics Tool it says that office has an invalid VLK- although we definitely used the Product Key that was on the packaging that we received from John Lewis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The diagnostics report is:

Hello stevek_1_9,
Here is a snippet of your mgadiag report:

Your Sony computer's current installation of Office Enterprise 2007 is a Volume Licensing installation, and the installation was done with an Invalid Volume Licensing Product Key (VLK). Invalid VLK means that the product key used to install Office Enterprise 2007 was never a genuine product key issued by Microsoft. This invalid key was instead made by a pirating program known as a Key generator, or keygen for short.
Based on a quick search, it is my understanding that "John Lewis" is the name of a major consumer products retailer in Great Britain. A look on their website shows that they do sell some Micosoft Office products. It is very unlikely, however, that they would sell the exact edition of Office now installed on this Sony computer, because this edition is meant to be sold only thru the Microsoft Volume Licensing channels to larger companies, educational institutions, and governmental agencies.
What is much more likely is that somehow the Office that you purchased at John Lewis was replaced by the nongenuine installation that is now on the computer. This could have happened if the computer had some or all of its software repaired or reinstalled. To check this out, please seach for and download the Magical Jellybean Keyfinder (this small harmless utility has been on the internet for many years). Run the keyfinder on this Sony computer to gather the product key that was used to install Office Enterprise 2007.
Next, gather up the materials that came with your purchase of Microsoft Office from the retailer John Lewis, which should consist of a clear plastic rounded corner box with a fold down side, one or more hologrammed Office installation discs, a user guide booklet, and on the fold-down disc holder, a yellow orange Proof of License label with the Product Key. Compare the product key on the label with the product key reported by the keyfinder. If there was a software mixup, the product keys should be different. If so, uninstall the nongenuine Office Enterprise 2007, restart the computer twice, then do a fresh installation of the edition of Office 2007 that came in the retail box from John Lewis.
Post back to let us know the details.

Thanks Dan,
That was the answer at the end...there must have somehow been a mixup. We have installed the Office from the retail box from John Lewis and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help.
