Received an error about a blocked volume licensing key

Question
-
I've been having trouble upgrading Framework for two weeks now. Will not install KB951847. I uninstalled, reinstalled a dozen times.
This morning I used the cleanup tool to remove all traces of Framework and installed Version 3.5 and then upgraded and patched everything it said to add. It still would not take KB951847.
I decided to try one more time to see if any other updates were available. I got an error message saying that the voluem license key has been blocked. I've been using this computer for almost three years. Why am I all of a sudden getting that kind of an error.?? I've been installing all the patches and updates when notified for three years now.
Why now?? Does this mean I'm not going to be able to install any more security updates until/unless I upgrade my system??
That is not going to happen. I don't have the money (retired and broke). This computer will not take an upgrade to Windows 7.
Does this mean I'm just stuck?? Why now?? Why didn't it notify me three years ago that I had illegal software??
Thanks.

It does appear to be a blocked Volume Key. The reason it didn't pick up on it until now may be that the volume keys are blocked only after a certain number of them are registered and found to be not legit. The people who sell the illegal software give out just enough codes to not be caught until they have had time to close up shop and move on. Where did you get the software from?

If you Google the last 15 characters of the product key, you'll see it has been illegally broadcast all over the internet. That is why it has now been blocked from use.

Does that mean someone copied from my computer while I was accessing the internet (I have firewall and antivirus and keep most cookies turned off) or does that mean the person I bought the software from has been sending it around??Tuesday, August 27, 2013 6:21 PM -
It appears whoever had possession of the PC before you installed a pirated/counterfeit copy of Windows XP Professional. A "Volume License" is usually only sold to business enterprises and not to individuals. It is also non-transferrable to a subsequent owner.

Good luck with the install.

I was facetiously indicating what level of technology I currently live with :GRIN: I bought the computer from a student on Craigslist. I tried contacting him a couple of years ago when I had to reinstall. He's no longer in the state.Saturday, September 7, 2013 10:24 AM
