    Hi

     

    After finding out my Microsoft software was not genuine I purchased the product key to convert it back into the genuine article. Using the update tool I get as far as typing in the new product key and I get the message:

    "The productkey could not be updated on your computer. This may be due to  technical difficulties or network connectivity issues"

    The network seems fine. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be most greatful.

     

    Many thanks

    Scallion,

    Is the utility reporting a 0x80004005 error?

    The 0x80004005 error on the Key Updater Utility is almost always indicative of the computer not being able to fully communicate with MS servers.  The Key Updater has to have full access to the servers in order to validate about 6,000 files.  Misconfigured firewalls, antivirus programs, antispyware protective programs, and misconfigured ISP DNS servers have been known to cause the error you are seeing.

    Please address these possibilities and try again.

    If that does not resolve your issue, you will have to wait until the genuine CD arrives in the mail, and then do a clean installation after backing up and offloading your data.

    Hi Scallion,

     

    If you compare your Diagnostic Report to others on the forum, you will notice that yours is missing a bunch of text below the "Office Details" line. We commonly refer to this area as the XML blob. This is caused by a missing Registry Key and is most likely why the Product Key Update Tool did not work.

    I will provide you the steps to resolve this XML issue, but I strongly suggest waiting for the Windows XP disk, that we have sent you, and conduct a clean install.

     

     

    Fix (Part 1):

    1) Click 'Start' button, then 'Run...'

    2) In the Run window, Type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll  <Click OK>
    (Note: This will register the msxml3.dll and the registry entry ‘HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSXML.DOMDocument’ will be generated)

     

    If this does not work, the msxml3.dll may be missing or corrupt. Follow the below Fix (Part 2), in that case:

     

    Fix (Part 2):

    1) Go to the Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 7 (SP7) download page at  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=28494391-052b-42ff-9674-f752bdca9582&DisplayLang=en

    2) From the files available, download “msxml3.msi”

    3) Double click the file and follow the steps to install.

    4) Click 'Start' button, then 'Run...'

    5) In the Run window, Type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll  <Click OK>

     

    Thank you,
