Office keeps telling I do not have a valid version of Office 7...

Question
-
Hello,
I have purchased a genuine Office Professional 2007 (along with the Product Key Card), which I have installed and registered on line. Everything worked well for some time, yet since a few weeks I get the message that the version of office I am using is not a genuine one. Hereunder is a copy of the Microsft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic tool report. Can you please tell me what I should do to get rid of the message.
Thanks

Hello Denis Defosse,
Here is a snippet of your mgadaig report:
OGA Data-->
Office Status: 103 Blocked VLK
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 - 103 Blocked VLK
OGA Version: Registered, 2.0.48.0
Signed By: Microsoft
Office Diagnostics: 025D1FF3-230-1
Your HP/Compaq computer currently has a Volume Licensing installation of Office Professional Plus 2007 installed, and this installation was done with a now-blocked Volume Licensing Key.
A "blocked" VLK is one that was issued by Microsoft to a business, educational institution, or governmental agency for their exclusive use in accordance with a Volume Licensing Agreement. (Note that such use does NOT allow the resale of such VLKs.) However, because the VLK may have been reported lost, stolen, or compromised to the internet by the original keyholder, or because the Volume Licensing Agreement has expired, Microsoft has blocked the VLK from further use.
If your use of the installed Office Professional Plus 2007 is in association with a business, educational institution, or governmental agency that might have a Volume Licensing Agreement with Microsoft, please report this nongenuine problem to your organization's IT support staff for further troubleshooting and resolution.
If you are an individual consumer, you should never have been sold Volume Licensing materials such as VL discs, and you certainly should not have received a Blocked Product Key. Quite often people purchase what is advertised and packaged as a retail license for Office Professional 2007, but all too often, the product they receive is a counterfeit Office package that installs a nongenuine copy of Office Professional Plus 2007. This could be the situation in your case.
Your first course of action is to confront your seller(s) with this information and demand either a full refund or to receive the genuine software you paid for. If the seller(s) refuses to help, please pursue whatever remedies are available to you thru the selling venue, your payment method (credit card, PayPal, etc), or the legal system in your area.
Also, depending upon whether you received "high quality" counterfeit materials, you may qualify for the Office Complimentary Offer or for the Office Genuine Advantage discounted offer. Please see the FAQ here: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx?displaylang=en#ID0EKNAC If you decide to participate in the Office Genuine Offer, please initiate the process by clicking on the "Learn More Online" link shown in the nongenuine notices on your screen.
One other possibility is that at one time your computer did have a Genuine installation of Office installed, but for some reason it was replaced with the current installations which are nongenuine. This could have happened if you took your computer to a repair shop and they reinstalled Windows and/or some or all of your programs. You Get Genuine once again by uninstalling the current nongenuine installations of Office and using your Genuine Microsoft hologrammed Office installation CDs, along with the genuine Product Key found on your Office Edition's Certificate of Authenticity, to put back the genuine installation of Office you may have already had on the computer.
