    New System Build. Unsure Which License To Buy For Win7 Pro.


    Clean install of "Win7 Pro Build 7601" on newly built desktop system. During the install I entered OEM "Product Licensing Key" that I purchased off of Amazon. Install finished without any problems. I had not given it a second thought until I started getting the "Windows Not Genuine" message in lower right screen a month later. If the key was invalid it wouldn't have accepted the key. Right? Does anyone have suggestions or insight? Thanks in advance.

    From your post.

    Did you also get a Microsoft made DVD with Windows 7 along with the matching COA key?

    You should take the issue up with Amazon.
