Windows 7 Build 7600 Not genuine

Question

I bought my laptop last Aug on a military base and never had any issues until now. I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5997 and received this error message today. I have never turned in my computer for servicing or anything like that. I ran the diagnostic with the following result:

Please help!
For some reason, your PC is unable to properly read the BIOS SLIC table which enables the machine to self-activate.You can try either1) activating using the COA Product key from the label on your laptopor2) a reinstall using the Recovery procedures - this will delete all data on your machine (and isn't guaranteed to work)To change the Product Key, go to the System Properties page, and use the link at the bottom. You will need to activate by phone.

Thanks for replying! I called Toshiba and they said I had to make a back-up disc and do a system restore which will reformat my computer back to how it was when I purchased it.
The label on the bottom of my computer is smeared and unreadable. I did notice however that the product key on that label is different from the one I have off the computer. Is it supposed to be different?
I just want to go on record saying this sucks a$$ and micosoft should be able to provide us non-computer saavy people with simple solutions. I'm taking classes right now and this is preventing me from being able to do my work!!

Yes, it's common for the two keys to be different....Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Windows Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:
A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the OEM Bios Flag found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Windows looks at the motherboard and sees the proper OEM Bios Flag (for that Manufacturer and that version of Windows) and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)B) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations (such as if the OEM SLP key stops self-activating for whatever reason). The key must be activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
Unfortunately, MS made some assumptions when they specified the materials for the COA stickers - and they have proven to suck, BIG-time. Hopefully, someone has noticed, and the next generation will be better (but don't hold your breath, and it doesn't help you)Toshiba should be able to supply you with appropriate recovery media at a reasonable price - if not, then you will have to either bite the bullet and purchase Retail media, or go with an alternative OS, such as Linux.

Thanks for replying! I called Toshiba and they said I had to make a back-up disc and do a system restore which will reformat my computer back to how it was when I purchased it.
The label on the bottom of my computer is smeared and unreadable. I did notice however that the product key on that label is different from the one I have off the computer. Is it supposed to be different?
I just want to go on record saying this sucks a$$ and micosoft should be able to provide us non-computer saavy people with simple solutions. I'm taking classes right now and this is preventing me from being able to do my work!!

Yes, it's common for the two keys to be different....Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Windows Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:
A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the OEM Bios Flag found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Windows looks at the motherboard and sees the proper OEM Bios Flag (for that Manufacturer and that version of Windows) and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)B) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations (such as if the OEM SLP key stops self-activating for whatever reason). The key must be activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
Unfortunately, MS made some assumptions when they specified the materials for the COA stickers - and they have proven to suck, BIG-time. Hopefully, someone has noticed, and the next generation will be better (but don't hold your breath, and it doesn't help you)Toshiba should be able to supply you with appropriate recovery media at a reasonable price - if not, then you will have to either bite the bullet and purchase Retail media, or go with an alternative OS, such as Linux.
