    This is not a real fix.  It only stops the symptom from appearing because the Automatic Updates are turned off.  Those updates being off will make the system vulnerable to future exploits as the OS will not be patched to deal with them.  Also this may only be delaying the inevitable for another couple of months.

      

    If there is an issue with the Product Key being blocked, it will immediately become non-Genuine again if any updates are run.  The real solution is to find out from Microsoft why the Key is blocked.  This should be done via the school's IT department and should not require you to use your own credit card.

    This is a student machine. I have reinstalled (upgrade) Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise using our Volume License version. I have entered our volume license key. The system still says the version of Windows is not genuine and will not activate.

    Please review this article.  If still unable to activate, you will need to contact the entity that issued you the Volume License product key and ask for assistance.

    That article refers only to KMS installations.  This one is a Volume MAK.  The error they are getting is saying that the Product Key has been blocked and/or is invalid.

    Thank you Kamin for pointing out that this is a Volume MAK key situation and Carey Frisch has given a pointer to an article that only applies to a KMS situation.

    I should add that the key I used was gotten today directly from the Microsoft Volume License Service Center today and certainly should be valid.

    The student had installed unauthorized Chinese software. I used our Windows 7 Enterprise installation media for the upgrade reinstallation (trying to save the installed programs and user settings).

    If you mean unauthorized Chinese language OS then you may have to wipe and do a full reinstall rather than an upgrade.  If so, you should be able to back up any desired data.

    Yes, I did read it and I had done that before I submitted the case, so I know that will not fix the problem.

    This article only refers to a system that is showing as a KMS install because it says "the product key should be changed to an MAK".  Rocky Hill's system shows as an MAK already.  Also the article references an error code (8007232B) that is not show in their report.  Their report is giving C004C4A2 as an error code which indicates a Blocked or Invalid Product Key.

    Well I've already told her the problem and she agreed.  She has a valid Volume MAK Product Key, but needs to do a full reinstall rather than an upgrade due to counterfeit software being on the system.  So not really beyond the scope of the forum at all.

    The Key is a Volume MAK Key - and has been blocked from activation by the MS servers, presumably for abuse.

    You also have a problem with the system clock - the system time appears to be different to the server clock on the validation servers.

    FYI:  Windows 7 Volume Licenses are only for "upgrades".

    Quote: "Volume Licensing provides only Windows upgrade licenses. Before you are eligible to acquire an upgrade license for the Windows desktop PC operating system through Microsoft Volume Licensing programs, you must first have licensed and installed a qualified full desktop operating system on your device."

    Carey, the information posted clearly shows that this is an HP machine that has a valid base license. In fact, it has a Windows 7 Professional OEM license which is certainly a valid base for upgrade. However,  already told you this is an Academic customer, therefore this machine could have been licensed for an OS that cannot be detected by the install and it is still a valid upgrade using their academic agreement. This is a technical issue, not a legal issue and we should leave the legal arguments to those with law degrees, my degree is in Computer Science.

    If one is doing an upgrade install of a valid Volume version of windows, then the machine should not have to be wiped clean just to keep Microsoft activation happy. The machine otherwise works perfectly but the messages about having a non-genuine version of Windows are distressing. Lets find a better solution for this customer. I understand that Microsoft needs to cut down on OS theft, but customers who are paying the bill shouldn't be hurt by that process.

    For those not familiar with the special academic case, even some versions of Unix are valid as a base OS for the VL upgrade as is MAC OS installed by Apple and even Windows 98 and starter and home editions of Windows.

    If the school's MAK key has been blocked, then Microsoft needs to issue the school a new key. Since the VLSC reports that 11/1000 activations have been done with this key, I doubt that the key has actually been blocked.

    Since problems with Activation referred me here, your link to Activation Support will send me in circles. Is that really helpful?

    I will check the system clock when I return to the customer on Tuesday, thanks for pointing that out to me, Noel.

    This peer-to-peer forum has no way of knowing why Microsoft supposedly blocked a Windows 7 Enterprise volume license product key.  That's why I suggested that you contact them so they can provide you with an answer.

    This seems to have resolved the student's issue: http://itratha.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-to-remove-windows-7-is-not-genuine.html

    I was unable to find a way to contact Microsoft though other channels even though this school has a volume license agreement. No, I am not going to open a case using my credit card for this issue.

    It may not fix all cases, but the computer did activate via Microsoft. We then turned updates back on and hundreds of them applied with no problem. I am sure the problem is NOT that the key was blocked, but something else about the Windows Genuine check.

    Again, this is an HP machine with a valid Windows 7 Professional license. The customer is a school with a volume purchase agreement that covers all students for Windows upgrades. The student did something stupid to the machine and we reinstalled Windows 7 Enterprise as an upgrade to try to fix the problem. This is not a case of pirated Microsoft software.

    We may have to wipe the machine clean and reinstall in a few months, but today it is looking pretty good.

    Automatic updates have been turned back on and updates applied OK. We did find a rogue KMS reply agent with Security Essentials in the machine and removed it that may have been part of the problem. We still have not put back KB971033, but all other important and critical updates have been accepted. While Microsoft may not approve, this is the fix for us right now for this student, we are closing the case and giving it back to him.

    I am the school IT department and despite having a Open Value agreement, I can find no telephone support that doesn't ask for a credit card for this issue. I think it is time to call the Microsoft sales office.

    No, it allowed us to move forward and get the student back to work. It also allowed us to install Security Essentials which may have found the root cause of the activation failure.

          It certainly would have helped us understand the problem if you had given some specifics as to why you reinstalled Windows 7 Enterprise in the first place. 

          i.e. "The student did something stupid to the machine and we reinstalled Windows 7 Enterprise as an upgrade to try to fix the problem."
