Please follow the instructions - there is a LOT more data in the full report than is given in any of the tabs in the tool.
Post the report, otherwise all we're doing is guessing in a data-vacuum.
Why is this install valid?

Ok, thanks. Here's the mgadiag output. The sticker is not readable, but it's Win7 Home Premium. The machine is an Acer 722 11.6" netbook, manufactured in 2012. Bear in mind that this install has been validated via the coa key, which I was able to make out.

The installed Key is from a COA sticker on a major manufacturer's machine.
This machine is an Acer AO722 built late 2011/early 2012 (BIOS date is 6 Dec 2011)
Assuming that the installed Key is the one from this machine's COA sticker (and not one from another machine), then the install is genuine and you should have no problems.
Assuming that the other machine also had Win7 Home Premium, AND was also an Acer, then the original installed Key would have worked, unless it had already been changed to the COA Key for that machine. This was one reason why I asked for the MGADiag (and why everyone else should have!).
Computers that come pre-installed with Windows from large manufacturers usually come with two Product Keys.
OEM SLP: This is the key that came in Windows (from the factory). It works by connecting to a BIOS flag (the SLIC table) found only on computers from that Manufacturer. It also checks for the existence of proper matching licenses in the OS itself. Once it sees both, it self-activates every time the machine is rebooted.
COA SLP: This is the key seen on the sticker located on the side, bottom or in the battery compartment of your machine. This key is for use if the OEM SLP self-activation stops working for whatever reason.
The OEM_SLP Key is valid on any similar machine from the same manufacturer - but how similar the machine needs to be depends on the manufacturer (I believe that some Dells will fail with inappropriate Recovery media/Key despite being outwardly the same, due to changes in the BIOS SLIC table and associated licenses in the media)
On the other hand, other manufacturers have either a limited or non-existent range of license/SLIC table variants.
Had you (been asked for and) posted the MGADiag report initially, we could have given definite (almost) opinions of the state of affairs at that point, and you may have been saved a lot of hassle.
As it is, we are still none the wiser about the initial status of the license..
All of which is irrelevant, now that you have the COA Key in place - make sure that you keep a good record of it in a safe place as it's the only copy in existence!.

Ok, thanks much Noel, and everyone. Yes, the coa is from this machine, so it should be solid.
The clone was from a very similar acer. I'm not sure if it was a coa or a slp key. I didn't think Win7 was able to validate across a manufacturer's line. XP, yes, but I thought Win7 bios tables were more specific than that (whether model-specific or unit-specific I don't know). I've even had factory restoration partitions fail to activate when run on other machines.
I find this quite confusing. Since there are some unknowns depending on the manufacturer, it seems that the next time a clone registers as valid, I should post the mgadiag and see if it's for real.

Mostly, except for Dell, so long as the COA sticker for the 'new' machine is for the same edition and version of Windows as the one on the source machine, then the transfer should be problem-free, hardware permitting.

Thanks much! I'll keep that in mind.
