    thanks all for your replies.

    OK, I don't have a test PC to use, so i will have to use a VM

    so I will break open the Windows 7 Ultimate box and install into a virtual machine and then NOT activating it. I will also break open the offfice 2010 professional and intall it into the same virtual machine ontop of Windows Ultiamte 7 and not activate it.

    and then i setup another VM to install the OEM XP SP2 and not activate it.

    And then, what do I do? Run this http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 in both VMs and paste the report? Does that include office 200 pro as well? should i activate office 2000 pro on the ultimate VM?

    I need the keys to be working permantently, as i am worried that i have got a key that works only 1 month or 3 months, i read that this kind of keys also exist hence i want to paste a key here if possible so that you guys can check for me if it is authentic rather than i go thru the whole trouble of installing it

     


    Unfortunately Office 2010 isn't recognised by the Validation system, or by MGADiag, and the only test for it is to activate it. Since this is a Retail copy and not an upgrade, there should be no problem about re-activating it in a live machine afterwards, although you may have to use telephone activation for that install.
     
    As I understand the situation with Office products now, if the installation activates, then there are no further tests of its authenticity thereafter.
     
    As far as Windows is concerned, so long as you don't activate, then the OEM product will not become Locked to the motherboard - if you do allow it to activate, then you will have some fast talking to do to an activation rep when you come to a permanent install! It's best to disconnect the machine from the internet completely while doing the install and test, just in case (and I mean physically - accidents can happen with the VM networking!)
     
    The Retail key shouldn't have a problem activating a second time - but phone activation would most likely be required, but why bother? just ensure you don't activate!
     
    If you publish your key anywhere on the internet, it will be stolen in seconds/minutes, and blocked eventually - so DO NOT POST YOUR KEYS.

    It's OK - as I said, you should be able to re-activate the Retail one on your permanent install......

    Except for the fact that the Win 7 Key is an MSDN one - please read the Blocked Keys sticky at the head of the forum Index page for details

    Sooner or later it WILL be blocked! (Darin? - can you force the issue?)

     Hello Zukah,
     
    Here is a snippet of your mgadiag report for your XP installation
    Windows Validation Data-->

    Resolution Status: N/A
    This is a disc that is trying to look like a systembuilder/OEM disc, but in reality it is a counterfeit, and under the hood it has the bits for a volume licensing installation of XP Pro. The product key is an invalid product key, meaning it was made with a pirating program called a key generator and was never an official Microsoft-issued product key.
     
    Typically these discs have a hologram label affixed to the top surface of the disc, while the genuine disc has the hologram embedded within the disc. This is one of the main points covered at howtotell.com---recheck your disc.
     
    The next step would be to check your Office, but the mgadiag utility is not programmed to check Office 2010 installations. To evaluate your Office, go to http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/category.aspx?displaylang=en&cID=fab9617a-57ff-4789-9397-6dac071b19b0  scroll down to the bottom and select Office Home and Business 2010 (for some reason there is no choice for Office Professional 2010), then carefully look at the pictures and read the info presented.  Then get a magnifying glass and closely examine the materials you bought.

     I confirm that the product key used in the Windows 7 software (represented in the Diagnostic Report in post #12 of this thread) originated from a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscription.

     Keys that originate from an MSDN Subscription are licensed to Only be valid for use by the owner of the specific MSDN Subscription that the key Originated from. MSDN Keys are licensed only for use in non-production environments (meaning the keys can only be used for testing and development, not for day to day use) Lastly, an MSDN key can not be sold individually.  The only way to sell an MSDN key is to sell the MSDN Subscription (including all of it's keys) as a whole.

    can i post the CD keys here and get it checked? i need to verify the keys so that i know it is genunie keys.

    - YES I have them on hand now and they look sealed and authentic on the outside
    - YES i have visited howtotell site and it looks all good but I still want to verify before the paypal claim period expires

    Can I open the sealed boxes and paste the product Keys here? The seller claims they are not used, and I need to verify if the keys are permanent and transferable (except for the xp SP2 OEM)

    thanks


    DO NOT post any keys at any time on the internet.  Even if they were valid they would not be as they would be stolen and used.
     
    If all the information on how to tell checks out, the seller appears legitimate and the prices are not extremely cheap, the only way to know if they are real is to install and attempt to activate the product.  Once installed the windows operating systems can be verified using the MGA Diagnostic program from:  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 but as Office 2010 is not included in that program to check it's validity you only have the original activation to go on for Office.

    No - NEVER post your key in public!
    You could try ringing an Activation Center, and asking them to check the Key - but they may only be able to say that it is 'currently activatable', rather than that it is a proper and valid key.
    The only real way to tell is to install the OS, then post the MGADiag report here DO NOT activate it (especially the OEM one!!). - it will then still be 'unused' in MS's eyes, if it is valid.
    To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.

    Activation is NOT required for an MGADiag report to be useful - DO NOT allow the OEM install to activate, unless you intend to keep that installation permanently.

    Hello Zukah,

    You wrote, "...as i am worried that i have got a key that works only 1 month or 3 months,..."

    The only reason why you are in this predicament is because you chose to IGNORE all of the advice given on this forum over the last 4-5 years and decided to purchase from the WORST place from which to purchase software.

    You would NOT be losing sleep over this if you purchased from a legitimate retailer.

    I have no idea where you got the idea this was not a public forum - did you not read the joining instructions?
    No-one in these forums (with one or two exceptions) is a Microsoft staffer (look for the 'Microsoft' tag in their headers. Mine says 'Microsoft Partner', that does NOT mean I am a Microsoft staffer - merely that I am I member of the Partnership scheme.)
    Surely the number of other posters here gave you some clue - as well as the posting instructions that came up when you first asked your question??

    When you install the Office Professional look at the screen when it tells you what suite it is about to install.  If it says Office Professional Plus instead of Office Professional you have a pirated piece of software.  That is a sure giveaway as the Pro Plus, a volume licensed product, is only sold to businesses and is never supposed to be sold to private individuals as a retail product.  It is also one of the most pirated pieces of software currently. The software packaging can often be quite good and will say Professional not Professional Plus but the installation wording is the key.

    It's OK - as I said, you should be able to re-activate the Retail one on your permanent install......

    Except for the fact that the Win 7 Key is an MSDN one - please read the Blocked Keys sticky at the head of the forum Index page for details

    Sooner or later it WILL be blocked! (Darin? - can you force the issue?)

    specifically
     
    and
    are relevant
     
    If either PayPal, eBay or your vendor cut up rough, point them at this thread - they should get the hint :)

    This is a disc that is trying to look like a systembuilder/OEM disc, but in reality it is a counterfeit, and under the hood it has the bits for a volume licensing installation of XP Pro. The product key is an invalid product key, meaning it was made with a pirating program called a key generator and was never an official Microsoft-issued product key.
     
    Typically these discs have a hologram label affixed to the top surface of the disc, while the genuine disc has the hologram embedded within the disc. This is one of the main points covered at howtotell.com---recheck your disc.
     
    The next step would be to check your Office, but the mgadiag utility is not programmed to check Office 2010 installations. To evaluate your Office, go to http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/category.aspx?displaylang=en&cID=fab9617a-57ff-4789-9397-6dac071b19b0  scroll down to the bottom and select Office Home and Business 2010 (for some reason there is no choice for Office Professional 2010), then carefully look at the pictures and read the info presented.  Then get a magnifying glass and closely examine the materials you bought.

    got it, thanks. Now there are some issues with the claim

    I'm delaying the Office 2010 Pro as the seller shipped me a home version which is licensed for 3 computers when i specifically requested for the commercial version. I've yet to open the physical case, it's still sealed as I am waiting for seller's response but based on the other 2 he sold me, i don't think he's going to respond.

    So i'm thinking of breaking opening the box and installing it into the VM. Two questions:

    1) The Office 2010 case I have, the COA on the outside does not have the circled background as in the image here http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/static/images/features/coa_retail_12_lg.gif. So it is really fake? The Windows 7 Ultimate I have seems to have the same issue but the key appears to be working (temporarily, i know). are MSDN licenced windows ultimate 7 sent in such cases that look like the retail version? if so, does that mean the office 2010 pro i have is not fake, but could be MSDN or volume licenced? 

    And does successfully activating the office 2010 after installation guarantees it's a permantent licence? is there no MSDN version of it that could be a temporary key?

    2) Paypal is requesting a certification authority. - "we must request
    documentation to support your claim that the item is not authentic. Please
    obtain a document from an unbiased, third-party, such as a dealer,
    appraiser, or organization that is qualified in the area of the item in
    question (other than yourself), which clearly identifies the item as not
    authentic. The document must specifically state how the item received
    differs from an authentic item and must include a detailed explanation of
    how the person evaluating the item determined that it is not authentic. The
    document should include a serial number, and must be on letterhead that
    includes the name, signature, address, and phone number of the business or
    organization so that PayPal may contact them if necessary. "     - so how do I go about getting this document from Microsoft?

    thanks all for your help. it's amazing how authentic these counterfeits look. and i'm learning a lot, at a cost

    Darin should be looking at this thread and will be able to confirm that it's an MSDN Key - then all you need to do is give them the link to this thread.
    They should be well aware of the MSDN problem - it's not as if they haven't dealt with hundreds of them before!

    Darin works normal hours, unlike us volunteers <g> - so he's around only during working hours at Redmond.
    If he hasn't responded by Monday evening, I'll ping him.

     I confirm that the product key used in the Windows 7 software (represented in the Diagnostic Report in post #12 of this thread) originated from a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscription.

     Keys that originate from an MSDN Subscription are licensed to Only be valid for use by the owner of the specific MSDN Subscription that the key Originated from. MSDN Keys are licensed only for use in non-production environments (meaning the keys can only be used for testing and development, not for day to day use) Lastly, an MSDN key can not be sold individually.  The only way to sell an MSDN key is to sell the MSDN Subscription (including all of it's keys) as a whole.

     

    Thank you,
