Hi, do this and see if everything is ok.
Type into the Start. slmgr.vbs -ato wait for the popup to say your activated.

May I enter the thread? To the OP: I know the problem has been stated, but could you please restate exactly what you are trying to accomplish?
Thanks,

Hi,
Done that and got an error about acitvation server the specified product key could not be used ??
Tried to inc a snip tool image with this. All I can think of is this has something to do with calling MS for activation after I replaced my drive a few weeks ago, this install of windows has been activated the one time after install, upgraded from xp with a clean install.
Thanks,
Mart.
Very strange indeed.
I wonder whether something could have occurred when the authentication key was being sent to the Microsoft server.
Maybe even a glitch on the server side.
I would call Microsoft. This is beyond something that can be fixed from the client side, I believe.
Hi,
This beats me, so far its still saying activated, it genuine, should be, it cost enough ! And everything was ok when I phoned MS after instaling the new hard drive, one bios update caused this ? If I get another warning about activation, do I call MS to activate or is there some call center that deals with this ?
Thanks,
Mart

Will see what happens, hope its just a glitch though.
Thanks

Sorry to revive old thread.
To OP: Do you solve the problem? I mean even though Windows script days product key invalid, is your Win7 is still activated and performs so far without activation problems?
I have the same situation as yours currently, the only difference is my motherboard has 2 BIOS chips, the first BIOS (BIOS1) still perfectly activated Win7, although using older BIOS version. The current BIOS (BIOS2) is installed with newer version, Win7 properties says activated but slmgr.vbs -ato says product key is cannot be used - same as yours.
