    Computer has been fine for months and then I get a non-genuine message. YES, I know THIS key is a volume license key. However this is not the key I typed in during installation. It is not the key on the COA sticker. I have no idea where this key is coming from.


    I tried changing the key using the registry change method to what is on my COA but it keeps saying I have mistyped it.

    How can I check if the key on the COA is genuine?

    Thanks

    Hello rodm9999,

      If the VLK key does not match the one on your COA sticker, this is a common issue. A person will take their computer to a repair shop, a friend or the smart kid down the street and the repair person (for whatever reason) needs to reinstall XP. Instead of using the COA key, they download the VLK XP from the internet (maybe due to laziness or maybe they thought they are doing a favor by installing XP Pro instead of the XP Home it came with).  Either way, it's a royal pain for customers. They have a Genuine Key on thir COA, but thir XP shows Non-Genuine thru no fault of their own. (Microsoft has made a concerted effort to educate computer repair shops, but it is still a fairly common occurence) 

      You have two options to resolve the issue:

    1) If the key on your COA is for the same version of XP as is currently installed (in your case XP Pro) then use the Product Key Update Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/XPPkuinst.aspx) to exchange out the VLK for the COA key.

    Note: The PK Update tool is not always able to handle severely damaged or modified installations of XP and may give an error.

    2) If the key on your COA is for the same version of XP as is currently installed, or if the PK Update Tool gives an error and is unable to do the exchange, you only other option is to reinstall XP using the COA Product Key.

    Thank you,

    Hi Darin

    Thank you for your reply. I used the Product Key Update Tool and then restarted my computer. That Activation Messages had gone after restarting. I ran WGA tool and the respsonse was in green that my Windows was now genuine. It is now showing the serial as per my COA.

    Thank you for your help.
