Windows 7 Build 7601 not genuine

Question
-
Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) has been running on my laptop since March 2011. Suddenly, this morning I got the "not genuine" warning. I have tried the online Activation links, but every time I get "Activation Interrupted" try again later. I have re-downloaded Windows Activation Update exe, but still get the same interruption. I have tried it enough times to give up.
In the Start-Computer-Properties section, it says This copy of Windows is not activated - click here to activate Windows now. That brings me to the online link, which gets Interrupted.
Tried re-entering the product key, but that gets me error code OxC004E003 (licensing evaluation failed) and refers me to MS help.
I repeat, this is a retail disc (upgrade from Vista that was OEM on the Gateway machine) that has given no problem for 8 months, and suddenly presents an issue. Last night, Windows Update installed KB2620704, KB2617657 and KB2588516 automatically and shut down the computer. The "not genuine" came up on start this morning.
What do I need to do? I get the feeling that just re-installing Windows from the disc won't do it.

You are correct that it is from a Windows Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for 3 PCs. Does not include service pack 1 on the label. We installed it on 2 laptops (over Vista) in March 2011. We had to re-install in one laptop (not this one) after a hard drive crash back in September. What flummoxes me is the sudden appearance of this problem after 8 months of using Windows 7. I thought I had some virus problem, generating a link to a false page where I could "fix" it by downloading something horrible.
The only change in the machine between yesterday and today was the installation of the 3 Windows security updates noted above. Thanks for your help.
Is the Upgrade labelled ‘Family Pack’? If not, it can only be installed on ONE machine at a time – and will invalidate any other machine on which it’s installed, eventually.If it’s a Family Pack, then it seems that the Activation servers have thrown a wobbly – you may simply need t use telephone activation, and explain the situation to an activation rep.

and hit the Enter key
follow the instructions - but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you.

I can’t swear to it, but this looks suspiciously like another MSDN KeyYour 0xC004E003 error means that the Key has been blocked at MS’s ServersThe CID (the second group of characters in the Product ID) is –062- which is in the same area as the known MSDN CID’s (-064- to –069-)Darin will be able to say why the Key is blocked, and whether it’s an MSDN Key – but in the meantime, please read the following (bearing in mind that I may have it wrong!)Your Windows Key is from a not-for-resale MSDN account. You need to claim an immediate refund from the vendor - do NOT accept the offer of a new key.(all they are trying to do is to get past the 45-day claims window. or avoid you sending the evidence of their crimes to the authorities)

To do a reinstall would require restoring Vista first and then the upgrade. Don't. However, if the Windows 7 dvd says "includes service pack 1" you can do an upgrade in place (aka repair install). That would not disturb your programs and data. Don't do that unless all other options are exhausted. I don't think your key is from an MSDN subscription but it may be from a Family Pack. Did you upgrade two or three computers at one time?

Noel - thanks for the analysis, but I don't think you have found my problem. The laptop was purchased in 2008 from Gateway direct and the OEM Vista worked without a hitch (well, it was Vista, so there were hitches) until we installed Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade in March 2011. That was from a retail disk purchased from Best Buy, and it has functioned fine until this morning. I could see a "not genuine" problem out of the starting chute, but this has worked for 8 months. Microsoft is not forthcoming on why a key is not valid or is blocked. Could it be that some hacker who generates counterfeit keys has used up my 3 PC allotment? Did something in the latest Windows security updates cause the problem?
Unfortunately, my right to phone support has expired, and I am reluctant to spend the $59 to get to talk to somebody.Friday, November 11, 2011 5:39 AM -

Noel,
The OP already identified it as a FP in an earlier reply here.
"You are correct that it is from a Windows Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for 3 PCs."
We had an 062 a week or so ago that was also from a family pack. It appears 062 is family pack and not MSDN.
