Blocked Windows 7 Product Key RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I've seen the thread: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinewindows7/thread/a2444f34-0aff-4f29-a8ac-67e28b0c0285 detailing issues with MSDN product keys being resold and to post a new thread if you are having a similar issue.

    I bought 2 copies of Windows 7 Professional from Amazon UK Marketplace, for the price of an OEM copy so nothing looked odd. I even contacted the seller to clarify this is a full version and I hadn't missed anything, got the retail package, sealed with plastic and no indication that anything was wrong. I bought these copies July 2010 and have had them installed from then.

    Last night I was working on my laptop and suddenly my laptop was saying windows was not activated anymore and I might be a victim of software counterfeiting, I post below MGADIAG report as requested. I'd like to know what I can do, I don't think its fair that Microsoft is deactivating these copies when there is no way for end users to know the software is counterfeit . If I was told it was an MSDN product when activating I could of sent them back and got a refund but its most likely too late now, this is possible since activation is done through Microsoft servers.

    Unfortunately, your Key is from a not-for-resale MSDN account. You need to claim an immediate refund from the vendor - do NOT accept the offer of a new key, and do NOT allow them to waste time with an RMA (all they are trying to do is to get past the 45-day claims window. or avoid you sending the evidence of their crimes to the authorities)

  • Thank you for confirming my suspicions, I have since been in contact with Amazon Marketplace and even though it was another seller operating under their name and its been over 6 months they have still refunded the money so I have been able to buy legit copies now. I'm very impressed with Amazon refunding this money, I wasn't expecting to get anything back as it was sold through Amazon Marketplace.

    I suspect that the vendor was reported some time ago, and his account frozen to be able to pay back later complainants (at least, that's the way I'd do it if I was Amazon!)
