"This copy of Windows is not genuine"

Question
-
[Vista x64 build 6002 running on Dell 530S] Recently this "not genuine" msg showed up at the right-bottom of my screen. I backed up to a previous restore point and the msg disappeared. The build number also disappeared. More worrisome, in System Properties I see that the Product ID that I had when installing the machine has changed. I also recall seeing my name given as the licensee somewhere (on the System page?), but it's nowhere to be found now.
I ran MGADiag and it shows the copy to be genuine, but with the new ID. It also shows that the license status (for the new product ID and a (partial) product key is "licensed." Entering the product key from my machine's case tag gave an error "appears to be invalid product key." There's a different partial product key in the report.
The Diagnostic and Licensing results from MGADiag are below. When I went to the Certificate and License URLs given in the licensing report, I reached untrusted sites so I didn't open them.
What's going on? Does it matter? How can I get my original machine info back? Thanks for any help. - orgade

Oof, one final thing - when checking the version no., I noticed I'm again (or still) stated to be the licensee in the About Windows tab. So all's well despite the ID change. I'll mark this thread closed. Thanks again - orgade
ps - Some other posters about this same problem seem have been having trouble hand-entering the command-line stuff in the command window in order to run slsvc. They might be reminded that it's easy to cut & paste from the web pages by rt-clicking on the top bar of the cmd screen & going to edit in the drop-down.

Very odd.The Key installed is a System Builder Key - whereas yours should be either a OEM_SLP Key or a COA_SLP Key, judging from provenance of manufacturer and date of BIOS and SLIC table.For what version and edition of Windows is the license on the COA sticker on your machine?Have you or anyone else reinstalled this machine at any point? - or done a repair install?
