  • Hello nauka,

    Right now, your computer has a Volume Licensing edition of XP Pro installed (Line 10), and that installation was done with a Invalid Volume Licensing Key (VLK) (Line 2).  The VLK used on your nongenuine installation of XP Pro was invalidated because it was made with a pirating program called a Key generator and was never a Genuine product key issued by Microsoft.

    Also note that the installed license for XP Pro is a Volume License.  As a rule, VL editions of XP should not be sold to individual consumers.  Businesses, schools and gov'ts normally use VL editions for flexibility in installing many computers.  Additionally, VL editions are Upgrade licenses ONLY, and therfore cannot be used as the primary or base license for a computer.

    This is why you were seeing the "software counterfeiting" messages on your computer, because the current installation of XP is an unauthorized installation.

    The next step in the process is to look on the computer, or with the materials you received with the computer, or with your retail purchase of Windows, to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).  If you have one, tell us about the CoA.  Tell us:

    1.  What edition of Windows is it for, XP Home, XP Pro, or XP Media Center, or some other version of Windows?

    2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

    3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

    4.  DO NOT post the Product Key that may be printed on your CoA.

    Not sure what to look for?  Click here:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

    If there is a CoA, that means the computer is almost certainly still licensed to run the version and edition of Windows described on the CoA.

    If the CoA says that it is for XP Professional, the first thing to try is running the Product Key Updater utility:  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=45668

    If the CoA is for any version or edition of Windows other than XP Professional, then your only available solution is to backup and offload your data, then use the Recovery Solution or reinstallation CD provided with the computer to put back the original factory installation of Windows (as described on the CoA) that came with the computer.  The recovery solution may be one or more Recovery discs and/or Operating System (OS) Reinstallation discs, a hidden recovery partition, or both.  If you have to run the recovery, please visit the model-specific support page at the support pages of the computer's manufacturer to learn more about how to do that procedure.

    If there is no CoA either with the materials you received with the computer or on the computer itself, then that means the computer was never licensed to run Windows.  If the computer seller just loaded Windows onto the computer but never gave you a genuine hologrammed CD nor a CoA with a Product Key, then the seller engaged in a form of piracy known as "hard disk loading."  If the seller charged you for a Windows license, they never delivered it to you, so contact them and demand the genuine software you paid for, or a refund for the price they charged you.

    If there is no CoA, you will need to acquire a genuine license for Windows to continue to use Windows on the computer.  You can purchase genuine Windows from a local or trusted internet retailer, or purchase a discounted WGA Kit from Microsoft.
