Super A,
Only Phil of MS can look up the exact details, but the Volume Licensing (VL) license that was used to install the existing installation of XP on your computer is not a pereptual license. These VLs are based on a contract that gets renewed from time to time.
Blocked VLK most of the time means that the VL Key (VLK) used to install was blocked at the request of the license owner. I think it could also mean that MS might have detected a pattern of misuse so it contacts the owner and both agree to change the key.
A local reputable computer dealer should NEVER have installed a VL license of XP on your computer. They should have used a systembuilder/OEM license (or possibly a full retail license at a higher cost) which the diagnostic report will list as "COA/sysembuilder" [sic].
Here's the solution. Look on the computer for a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and if you have one, tell us what edition of XP it is for (Home, Pro, Media Center), and tell us if it reads "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering, or if it has the name of the computer builder/manufacturer printed on the COA. DO NOT post the Product Key.
If you have a COA, it's very likely that the computer is properly licensed to run the copy of XP described by the COA. To "get legal" you would reinstall that copy and you will pass WGA with flying colors.
If you have no COA, then it's a virtual certainty your computer's installation of XP is indeed counterfeit. If you paid the local shop for XP, you did not get a genuine copy and were cheated.
Post back with answers about the COA.
