Getting a validation error on a validated install of Windows XP. RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have been following the steps on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938720 and it seems that my Windows install is indeed validated because there is an activation key and product key for it. However, the Windows Genuine Advantage tool is still telling me that the copy of Windows is not genuine. Below is a copy of the log from the Genuine Advantage Diagnostics tool. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Neither your copy of Windows nor Office are valid.
    You are in the US – but you are using a Geo-Blocked Volume Product Key for Windows – and there cannot be such a thing in the US, since any License issued in the US is valid worldwide, unless deliberately blocked by MS or at the owner’s request.
    The Installation of Office is also using a Volume License.
     
    If you are in fact a member of an organisation entitled to use these Keys – then contact your System Admin for assistance.
     
    If you are a private individual, then you have been sold counterfeits.
    Does your computer have a COA sticker attached? If so, for what version and edition of windows is it valid?

    I am an "outsourced system administrator", if you will, for the company that owns the machine I am working on. I do not know if they are entitled to using the keys, but I do have another valid and paid for Windows License. Would I be able to use this instead?

    Yes – assuming it’s for Pro.
    Use the Product Key Update Toll to change the Key to the valid one.
     
     
    If that fails, then you’ll be faced (probably) with a reinstall.
