----------------------------------------------
Yes,I have checked the Product Key and it is, in fact, Blocked. The Product Key is a key from an MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) subscription. It appears that the person that owned the subscription (or someone broke into the subscription) sold the key to you (and probably a number of other people). Part of the Licensing Terms on MSDN Product Keys is that the keys can not be resold.
It appears that the person or company that sold you this key, either knowingly or unknowingly, sold you (what amounts to) stolen property. Return the software for a full refund. I also recommend submitting a piracy report at http://microsoft.com/piracy
Thank you,
--------------------------------------------------I am... or was at this point a member on MSDN. I've never Ebayed any Keys. What happened?

Hi DJive,
I can confirm that the Key is from an MSDN Subscription and that it is Blocked, but my tool doesn't give me any additional information as to why.
I did some research and talked to MSDN Subscription Support. They said that you can call them and they can confirm your present or past MSDN Subscription, give you the reason for the Block or if it is found to be a mistake, they would also be the people that could get the key unblocked.
MSDN Subscription Support 1-800-759-5474 (8:00am - 5:00pm Central Time)
When you call the number, you will want to select the "All Other Support" option (should be the last option the phone prompt mentions) and then select the MSDN Related option (Should be option #2) and then either enter your MSDN ID or wait for an MSDN Support Agent to answer.
Sorry I couldn't be more help, but at least I can get to the the people that can.
Thank you,

Hi Djive,
Sorry for that, the MSDN guy I talked to grasped the issue immediatly and told me they were the people you should talk to. Looks like you got a rep less able to understand issues outside of the norm.
I hope the person, you emailed, can help, but if not, the only thing I can recommend is recalling till you get a rep that can acually understand the issue (It's a pain, I know and I wish there was more I could do for you). The optimum way for the call to play out, is that the rep would check your past MSDN Account and confirms if there was any problem that would warrant a Key Block or not.
a) If there is, then he/she can explain what the problem was. (and possibly give options to resolve that issue)
b) If there isn't, he/she should initiate the process to get the key unblocked.
Thank you,

Just an Update::
I called MSDN Subscription Support 1-800-759-5474
And tried to explain my issue and read them your response/answer however the customer service woman seemed confused. I stated my key IS blocked and my account IS deactivated and that I'm calling to see what I have to do in order to get my subscription reactivated and my key usable again.
.. She then put me on hold and transferred me to Windows Genuine Activation Support line after I said I knew they could help me because I know my key is blocked I'm trying to find as to why.
when I spoke to Activation team they of course said they could not help me and to call MSDN Subscription Support *again*
When I called support back a second time I was greeted by the same woman who first helped me offering no support, information, help or guidance as to what is going on or as to what I need to do.
She did give me Mr. Halabi's email saying he is in charge of it all and to Email him which I have.
I asked the support rep but in general it feels like at any given time my MSDN subscription can be terminated, my key banned and no one seemed to know why but were more then willing i go buy the software...
As far as I'm aware I've done nothing at all to come come to break ToS.
Hopefully Tom will have some information.
