Suddenly Win 7 says not authentic
I have a real dilemma here and am definitely in need of help. I bought Win 7 Ultimate for 2 installs over a year ago. I bought an Asus Laptop a year ago which came win the 7 Home and upgraded to Ultimate with no problems at all. 3 months ago I bought a Dell with 7 Home and upgraded it to Ultimate. Again no problems! About a week ago I started getting multiple error message on the Asus stating that my Windows 7 was NOT valid. Now today I am getting the same messages on the Dell. Not able to get help from Microsoft which keeps insisting that these operating systems are invalid. Two huge questions: IF this is actually the case why would it be such a very long time before getting these error messages, Also, what are the options now I am being told there are 30 days remaining before the OS on both systems locks up?!
Any ideas are most appreciated. I hope I am not stuck with buying on OS all over again. If so, what happens to Office 2007 when I have to reinstall it and all data after installing a new OS?
Thanks very much in advance for any help or insight on this.
