    This afternoon I was trying to download virtual PC. The website had me download and install the browser validation plugin. I've been running my copy of Windows 7 Pro since May without issues (and it's passed validation) but as soon as the plug-in checked validation my key was blocked. If it's been blocked and I'm to contact my reseller, whom do I contact at Microsoft about this? I bought the copy of Windows from Microsoft through the student program. Here is the diagnostics report:

    Whom did you purchase from?  Microsoft?  Digital River?  A University?

    If you purchased an upgrade copy did you perform an upgrade or did you perform a clean installation?  An upgrade product key requires the previous copy of Windows to still be on the computer when the upgrade is started.

    From Microsoft. Delivered through Digital River.

    It looks like it was the upgrade. I'm not sure if I did a clean install or an upgrade install. If I did a clean, would that cause this issue?

    If the key has been blocked at this point, how do I resolve that to install appropriately?

    Misuse of an upgrade product key would not cause a blocked key message but would cause an activation error.  If you requested a refund for some reason then the key would be blocked but that is not the only cause.  There are an unusual number of non-genuine errors showing up today involving retail copies of Windows 7.  I am going to wait for Noel Paton to review the threads and comment.

    Yea, the answers forum is also becoming overwhelmed by these apparently genuine windows with blocked product keys.

    this is the only useful thing I have seen so far:

     

    Ok, after calling MS support (1-800-642-7676 then transferred to 1-866-530-6364), it seems the Microsoft Store servers are having issues. They had to reissue new codes for my copies.

    I hope Noel shows up soon.  I don't think that Darin is available due to a medical procedure he just had.  Looks like fun.  Sometimes MS sends alerts to MVPs so maybe Carey will get something.

    Encouraging, thanks!

    I have thought about it, and I'm pretty sure I threw the old Vista key on a VM two weeks ago. I did go the upgrade path.

    I'll wait to see if it's an issue with the MS Store key, which seems more likely since Windows Update would have run a few times since the old key was re-used.

    You are not entitled to use the Vista license on any computer once it has been used to upgrade to Windows 7.  The upgrade license requires you to retire the product key used in the old software.  Your Windows 7 end user agreement is very specific about that:

    15. UPGRADES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. Upon upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software you upgraded from. After you upgrade, you may no longer use the software you upgraded from.

    But the store key is the problem right now.

    I just wanted to update this thread.

    There appears to have been an issue with the Product key Activation/Validation servers that only effected a subset of Digitally Distributed Product keys.

    This issue has been corrected and user that were affected by this should no longer be seeing a Non-Genuine/Key Blocked error.

    If you do still see this error please try the following:

    1) Reboot and then re-try Activating and/or Validating.

    2) If you still see the issue, please contact Microsoft Assisted Support (at one of the below URLs)

    Thank you,
