Question
-
Help, I spoke to microsoft yesterday and they said that the product key that came with my system is valid but everytime I test for to see if it's genuine it comes back as not being valid. The product key that's on the back of my computer is not the one that I see in my system, but I don't know why that is I bought this computer new and we tried to change it to match the one on the computer but it wouldn't let me change. Please someone help me with this problem. Thank you and have a Blessed day!Diagnostic Report (1.7.0095.0):

Kamillion46,
Right now, your Sony computer has a Volume Licensing (VL) edition of XP Pro installed (Line 10), and that installation was done with an invalid Volume Licensing Key (VLK) (Line 2). VLKs are invalidated by Microsoft at the report of the original keyholder for such reasons as the key was lost, stolen, compromised, or misused. Also, MS may have invalidated the key if it was generated by a non-MS Key Generator program, which seems to be the situation in your case.
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. Also, Volume Licenses for XP are upgrade licenses only and can never be used as the orginal or base license for a computer.
This is why you were seeing the "software counterfeiting" messages on the computer, because the current installation of XP is an unauthorized installation.
Some Good News: The installations of Office XP Pro w/Front Page and Office 2007 Pro on the computer are Genuine.
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 Authenticty (COA). If you have one, tell us about the COA. Tell us:
1. What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or 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? In this case we would expect it to read, "Sony."
4. DO NOT post the Product Key printed on the CoA.
It's likely that your Sony came with XP Home Edition or maybe XP Media Center Edition. If so, that would expolain why the key upater utility did not work because you are trying to genuine-ize an installatin of XP Pro with a product key from XP Home or Media Center, which are different operating systems.
If that is the case, your best option is to backup and offload your data and then use the recovery solution provided by Sony to reinstall your originally supplied Operating System prined on the CoA to the computer. That OS will always be genuine on your Sony computer.
