    I have just updated my mums laptop with the update from microsft called service pack 3. After the installation i restarted the computer as directed, but found a big warning saying i may be a victim of fake software. i have clicked on the link that takes you to a website that checks if the xp system is genuine and it says it is not and that the serial key has been blocked?

    The result of this problem is the new windows media player will not install without genuine xp recognition and my mum needs to play music as part of her buisness!!

    Thanks for any help.

    I have downloaded the Microsft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and run it (as directed by the moderators instructions).This is the info rom my mums laptop:

    Hello Willonmitchell,

    Thank you for visiting the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program forum. I understand the inconvenience you are currently experiencing. We have seen numerous issues from customers who were provided a Volume License Key (VLK) on their computer that has either been blocked by Microsoft or generated by a fake product key code generator. WGA currently provides checks for these types of product keys and prompts the user to notify them of this situation. More invalid product keys are being identified daily and WGA is constantly refreshing its database with these newly identified product keys and immediately blocks them.

    Right now, your computer has a Volume License (VL) edition of Windows XP Professional identified. The installation was done with a now-blocked Volume License Key (VLK) located on line 2. VLKs are blocked by Microsoft at the request of the original product key holder for various reasons such as the product key was lost, stolen, compromised, misused, or expired. Also, MS may have blocked the key if it notices a pattern of misuse, i.e., more installations of Windows XP Professional  using that key than authorized.

    As a rule, VL editions of Windows XP Professional  should not be sold to individual consumers. Businesses, schools and governments normally use VL editions for flexibility in installing many computers.  Also, Volume Licenses for Windows XP is Upgrade licenses ONLY and cannot be used as the original or base license for a new computer.  Please ask your systems administrator to logon to the eOpen site (https://eopen.microsoft.com/EN/default.asp) and confirm what your company’s assigned VLK.  Sometimes how customers find themselves in this situation is that when their IT department was creating their VL image to be deployed to their desktops, they sometimes inadvertently use an incorrect product key because it was handy.

     This is why you were seeing the "Software Counterfeiting" messages on your computer, because the current installation of Windows XP Professional  is an unauthorized installation. 


    A "Blocked VLK" is a Volume License Key that is valid, but was licensed solely to a corporation or larger enterprise/business. Blocked VLK's are Product Keys that Microsoft has received consent from the original owner to block usage of. A VL Product Key is non-transferrable to individuals. In order to resolve your non-genuine licensing issue, please visit the following link click on Validate Windows. When validation fails, click on the Get Genuine button which will provide information on how to acquire a WGA Kit. Here is the link:
