Win 7 Validation Fails after months

Question
-
I bought what appears to be a completely brand-new, sealed, authentic box set of Win 7 Ultimate, activation sticker, fancy hologram DVDs, the works. I've been using Win 7 for months, but today it declared itself "not genuine". I enclose the mgadiag report.

I'm sorry to say that your Product ID line shows that you are using an MSDN product key. Since you are not the subscriber who was issued this product key, it is invalid for your use.
Windows Product ID: 00426-068-0320466-86562
The 068 is the MSDN indicator. Your retail box and its contents is a counterfeit product. Many counterfeit copies are being sold on eBay and the Amazon Marketplace as well as various websites around the world. The product key is not a genuine retail PK. It is a genuine MSDN product key and so will activate and pass as genuine until it is blocked by Microsoft as an MSDN key in use by a nonsubscriber. It takes a while for MS to detect and complete processing of abused keys. The seller plans to be doing something else by then.
Pursue a refund for an item not as described immediately. Do not accept a replacement product key from the seller. It will be from the same source.
Report the incident to Microsoft at

To see how good these knock-offs are becoming, see

Buy a copy of Windows from a rock solid seller like the Microsoft Store or Amazon Corp (not an affiliate).
