An Invalid Product Key is one that was illegally generated by a non-Microsoft Product Key Generator. As a consequence, your Windows XP installation is deemed non-genuine since it was never issued by Microsoft.
In order to resolve your non-genuine licensing issue, please visit: www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on "Validate Windows". When validation fails, you'll see a button to click on (Get Genuine) which will provide information on your options which include how to acquire a WGA Kit.
Also, your copy of Microsoft Office XP Professional Edition is non-genuine (Legit Result: 114). You'll need to uninstall it, then visit a nearby store that sells computer software and purchase a genuine version of Microsoft Office.

sianypops,
The current Product Key being used on your system is non-genuine for one of two reasons:
- The key was made using a non-Microsoft sanctioned Key Generator
- The key was reported lost or stolen from the original purchaser.
Can you verify that your COA matches your Product Key? If it does not you can try the following:
1 - Reinstall Windows so your COA matches your Product Key (install using your COA as the Product Key) - This is the preferred method by Microsoft, as it will be a fresh copy, void of potential hacked binary files and security loops that may have been created to bypass WGA. We know this is usually not the user preference, but it is the safest method.
The Genuine Advantage Product Key Update Tool is only valid for users attempting to change their current non-genuine Product Key to a genuine COA sticker or genuine Product Key – all without a reinstall! http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50346&clcid=0x409
Note: This is provided no core system files are corrupted. If they are you will need to complete a clean install of your system.
If your COA does match the product key being used on your system I recommend filing a counterfeit report, it MAY be a high quality counterfeit (which MAY qualify you for a *free* WGA kit) – Counterfeit report is located here: http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/Reporting.mspx
More bad news... your Office is also non genuine. you should go back to your retailer as soon as possible to get this issue resolved.

Hi Derrick
I am a bit confused as I have just bought a new product key from microsoft as I had the notice saying I had counterfeit windows XP software. Does this mean this was a waste of money?
