    I have been running MS office Pro 2007 on Vista since 4/09.  A few weeks ago I began getting warnings that my office products, Outlook, Word and Excel were not genuine.  As of today, I can open the products, but I can not send or edit.  Please see the diagnostics below and let me know why. 

    My Windows updates are current.  I run Spybot regularly and I have cleaned up the harddrive and defraged.  Thx.

    Hello Elspeth Shea,

    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 tool 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/piracy

    or

    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 Key

    or

    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 MS

    I purchased my computer from Dell  and also bought Windows Vista, and Microsft Home and Student 2007. They sent the computer to me with the programs already loaded. I have all of the disks. My computer recently crashed and was worked on in a shop. They loaded a copy of Microft 2003 on the machine, and I called them and asked why they didn't reload 2007. And the answer was they didn't have a copy. I had the original disks unsealed Microsofft Disks and reinstalled the software that came with my Dell computer, entering the code that was on the disk. Why does Microsoft not recognize it?

     

    Microsoft can make mistakes too, I know you make millions of copies of software.
