    I tried to validate my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate online after a major rebuild of my PC.

    The key was blocked and a message came up saying "0xc004c003 This key is already in use" Now that will have been because I changed the motherboard, am I right?

    However, I believe that retail versions are able to be installed on any PC provided that only one PC at a time. Please clarify.

    Here is the diagnostic report..

    In your case, yes.  One can tell.  You are using an MSDN product key as indicated by the distribution channel ID (the "069" in the product ID).  

    Windows Product ID: 00426-069-3226843-86393

    Assuming you are an MSDN subscriber then all is well.  However, if you purchased a retail box with this product key (*****-*****-PBH3R-RJMXP-P3MGX) in it then you were scammed and sold a counterfeit copy of Windows.  MSDN product keys are not packaged in retail boxes.  They are distributed to subscribers online and may not be resold.  Most of the offerings on eBay and the Amazon Marketplace and most any site in which individuals sell "retail" copies of Windows 7 are Chinese-made counterfeits using illegally obtained MSDN product keys.  Since individuals are not in the Microsoft distribution channels anything sold by an individual on one of these sites is likely a Chinese-made fake.  The Chinese fakes are very authentic looking.  Microsoft blocks these MSDN product keys once they become aware of the abuse.   The key is genuine but may only be valid for the MSDN subscriber to whom it was issued.

    Retail versions standard licenses are transferrable to a new mobo.  Retail upgrade licenses are transferrable if the license upgraded from is also transferrable.  If you are using a standard (aka "full") license then use phone activation.

    Activate by phone.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736912(WS.10).aspx

    Or Click Start and type "slui.exe 4".

    Hi again, with thanks to the valuable help that I received here I returned my counterfeit copy to Microsoft. I can expect a replacement within a few weeks.

    Does Microsoft ever follow up the information that is provided?

    I ask because I see that the Ebay seller continues to sell copies of Win7 Ultimate from at least 4, yes FOUR different user IDs. I have warned the buyers about their purchase possibly being counterfeit and I now have a significant success rate in getting their money back.

    Yes, they follow up.  However, they do not share with you what actions they take.  Did you also file a complaint with eBay?  They also take action.

    I have successfully lodged a dispute with Ebay and managed to get my money back on the item. I continually complain to Ebay about the seller's other similar items. The items keep on selling.

    Then they will do their work.  I imagine there are many steps to ensure the seller's rights have been observed.
