    Windows Product ID: 00371-221-3365722-86862

    The product ID -221- 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

    For more information see this:

    To see how good these counterfeits are becoming, see:

    You will have to purchase a legitimate windows from a legitimate retailer or revert to the windows your computer came with.

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    I bought this software from a large, reptutable on-line retailer. If the box is counterfeit then it is an amazingly accurate forgery. Also,  I'm curious as to why this issue would occur after almost 6 months of working correctly. Is there an explanation for that? 

     

    Regards,

    Yes, the counterfeiters have gotten very good. Software counterfeiting has become big business.

    Explanation by Noel D Paton

     

    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.

    I see. Does Microsoft offer a way to 'legitimize' a counterfeit copy w/o going through a new install?
