    The current product key shows as valid.  I bought the Sony used and the company reinstalled the correct Windows version but did not use the product code shown on the sticker.  Here is some infor that might help.  I tried using the MS instructions on changing the number but the Sony screen that comes up with the "properties" of the "computer" does not have the "change product code" listed at the bottom of the screen.

    Should I try to provide a screen shot of the problem screen that does not have the "change product code" option?   The installed product code shows "Activated" but shouldn't I want the original product code on the sticker.  It is the same version of Windows 7 Home Premium

    I see no issues in your report. it shows as activated but not validated.

    http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/

    I see no reason to change your key. but if you insist:

    click start, type slui 3, press enter.

    Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Windows Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:

    A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the special instructions found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Windows 7 looks at the motherboard and sees the special instructions and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)

    B) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom,[ or inside the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations (such as if the OEM SLP key stops self-activating for whatever reason). The key must be activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

    Thanks for the prompt response.  I downloaded the validate file and when it was started it
    downloaded the Activation File and when it went to "install file" it failed.   "error information  9x80240016"

    I just bought this and the large company that sold it reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium using an OEM file to clean the disk.  I don't want to have a problem later and thought I should revert to the correct code.   I am a little gun shy about the "slui 3" method.  May try anyway before I give the company positive feedback.  It is possible that they have a bulk license since they sell so many used computers and the "new" product code is probably OK.   

    UPDATE!  You deserve extra ponts.

    THANK YOU!  I spent several hours at Microsoft trying to solve it and you did if for me in a minute.  It was SO EASY and it was self validating.  The Activation File would still not install but now I don't care.  I use Belarc Advisor to keep track of all my serials and now Windows 7 matches my computer sticker.  

    Thanks,

    Don
