  Windows Product Key: *****-*****-CM74G-RPHKF-PW487

   

  This is the default product key windows7 uses when no key is entered during install. You will have to change your product key to the one on your proof of license label. 

  I purchased a Windows 7 key from Ebay,

  Most likely you purchased a bogus product. 99.9% we see from ebay are. After you change your product key post another report to check it's authenticity. 

   

   

  How to change the product key.

  click start

  right click computer

  select properties

  scroll to the bottom of the page and select change product key

  After I click on the change product key button, it brings up the activation window, where I type in my key.  At that point, I can click Next, which attempts to activate, and fails, saying it's invalid, or hit Cancel, which doesn't save the key.  Running the diagnostic again yields the same default key.

  Make sure you are typing it correctly. It is easy to confuse B and 8. Q is also a mistaken for O which is not used.

  there are also several characters that are not used.

  they are:  (courtesy Noel D Paton)

   

  E,U,I,O,A,S,L,Z,N, and 1,0

  are all rejected by the OS.

   

  With my old eyes I find a magnifier useful to read them.

  I have the code written down in a couple of places.  One had a B switched for an 8.  Got it to work now, but got an error for multiple activations.

  You'll now need to contact a Microsoft Volume Licensing Activation Center for assistance.

  Windows License Type: Volume MAK

   

  You have a volume license that is only available to volume customers. It is not for resale.

  You bought from a bogus seller. Demand a refund.

  Do not buy from ebay. Purchase only from legitimate retailers.
