Cannot Remove "Not Genuine Microsoft" Message From Toolbar RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi

    I installed MS Office 2007 (specifically, Word, Excel and Powerpoint) on my Dell laptop. I entered the proper key and validated the process, but I am still unable to remove the "Not Genuine Microsoft" product message on my Word toolbar.

    I've uninstalled and re-installed fresh, but the only other message I receive is that I have already downloaded the OA plug-in.

    Any help is assisted. Thanks much.

  • Hello MaxandMilo,

    Here is a snippet of your mgadiag report:

    OGA Data-->
    Office Status: 108 Invalid VLK
    Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - 108 Invalid VLK
    Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 - 108 Invalid VLK

    The report is telling us that you have three standalone installations of separate Office 2007 products rather than an installation of the Microsoft Office 2007 suite.

    The three Office 2007 programs (Word, Excel, and powerpoint) installed on your Dell Inspiron 5100 computer are editions of those programs that are properly sold only thru the Volume Licensing program to larger businesses, educational institutions and governmental agencies.  The installations were done with invalid Product Keys made by a pirating program known as a Key Generator.  The product keys were NOT issued by Microsoft, making them Invalid.

    (Invalid VLK= Volume Licensing [Product] Key)


    If your use of the installed Office programs is in association with a larger 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 installation discs, and you certainly should not have received Invalid Product Keys.

    Your first course of action is to confront your seller with this information and demand a full refund.  If the seller 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.
