Windows 7 Home premium OEM product key not valid

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem as the chap who started this thread. I have followed all the information right up to the error message 0xc004f050. I have tried several combinations using the options that you provided and it still is not valid.
I bought my OEM windows 7 software from coastal software and it is not possible to contact their technical support until monday. Please can you help me??

Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.

Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!
