I bought a boxed version, all sealed-up, from an eBay seller on April 2, 2011 -- on April 30 the listing was removed from eBay for violating something. My copy was working great. All of a sudden today, July 10th, I started having trouble --
getting boxed messages about a counterfeit key & similar messages. If the product key was stolen, it must have taken MS 3-mo. to find out about it & to block it internally. I went online & checked around for an answer, & the "Is it legit"
MS site told me to check the packaging carefully. I checked the hologram edge on the CD, or DVD, & it is definitely a label -- it is not built into the disc internally -- which it should be, according to MS. On a MS Answers post I read that
if the 3-digit part of my ID number came within one digit of 230 or 231, then it was a stolen or misappropriated key. I ran the MSdiagnose tool & got the following report. Please advise... it looks like I've been 'had' & have to buy a good key
-- this time I'll pay more & get it from the MS site!
