Hello laser770,
OGA Data-->
Office Status: 108 Invalid VLK
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 - 108 Invalid VLK
OGA Version: Registered, 2.0.48.0
Signed By: Microsoft
The Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 is Non-Genuine. It was installed using a Invalid Volume Licensce Key (VLK).
VLK software is not to be sold to consumers, but are designed for large orginizations that need 10s 100s or 1000s of Office installs. In this case the VLK is Invalid. This means it was likely created with a Piracy software called a Key Generator (KeyGen). In other words, Microsoft did not create or release this key.The reason you hadn't see the Non-Genuine message sooner is that Office doesn't have any anti-piracy systems other then Activation and this pirated Product Key is a Volume License Key that doesn't require Activation. The only way for you to have found out that the Office was Non-Genuine would have been if you had gone to http://Microsoft.com/genuine and click the 'Validate Office", gone to the Office Download site and attempted to download any non-criticaa update or by installing the Office Notifier. It turns out that you just recently downloaded and installed the Office Notifer and that is what is telling you that Office is Non-Genuine
Now, I am Not accusing you of piracy. There are a number of reason why your Office would be using a Pirated key. The three most common are:
1) You may have bought the software from a unscrupulous seller who sold you pirated software.
In which case I recommend, if possible, contacting that seller and demand the Genuine Microsoft software, that you paid for or at least a refund. I also recommend submitting a Piracy Report at http://microsoft.com/piracyor
2) You had your computer worked on (by a repair person, a friend or that smart kid down the street) and in the course of fixing the PC, they had to reinstall Office. Instead of contacting you to get the proper Product Key, (maybe due to not knowing it was wrong or due to laziness) they downloaded it from the internet.
In this case, you probably have a Genuine copy (and Product Key) of Office, you just need to uninstall the Non-genuine one and reinstall the software using the proper (Genuine) Product Keyor
3) A repair person, a friend or that smart kid down the street may have thought they were doing you a Favor by installing a copy of Office on your computer, "for Free". But in fact he/she installed a Pirated Copy. It's all togeather possible they didn't know they were doing anything wrong and thought they were just being nice.
In this case, the best way to resolve the issue would be to uninstall the software and if you still want to use Office, buy it from a trusted retailer or online store.
Thank you,

Darin;
Thank you for your prompt reply to my question
I recently purchased a new computer for my wife as a Christmas present and this software from an Ebay dealer with a good record, who claims to be an authorized MS dealer, to put on that computer. So yes I am not a Pirate. If I were I would not be asking MS why the program wouldn’t pass validation. The vendor attempted to correct the not genuine issue having me follow the MS links and when it wouldn't pass he advised me to contact Microsoft for help. When informed that the program most likely was not genuine, he seemed surprised. He offered and has agreed to refund the purchase price through the Pay Pal resolution center. Pay Pal says that this will take 5 to 10 business days.
I have checked at best buy and staples and can see no difference in the packaging. The plastic box was sealed. The instruction book and pamphlet all look like they came right from MS. The holograms on both disks appear to match those shown on the how to tell web site except for the very edge, which appears more silver than copper. After further looking at the COA with a magnifying glass, it does appear that the COA matches one of the ones shown on the how to tell web site as not genuine.
After I am reimbursed my funds, I will file a piracy report with MS.Laser770
