    Activated fine for one year, now suddenly not genuine


    I built a computer and activated Windows 7 Pro on it. I used it occasionally for about one year, with no difficulties. Then I made some hardware changes. I added a solid state disk and moved the OS to it. I removed several small HDs that I had used only to verify that all the ports on the MB worked. I added a 2TB disk. A few hours or days later I got the black screen and the not genuine messages.

    I have tried several means to make the system appear appear legal to MS, including some from here. They all seem to be doing something, but all end with error code C004E003, licensing service reported that license evaluation failed.

    I suspect that the source of the W7pro software is related to this problem, perhaps as a cause, but at least as a complication. I bought it on eBay from someone that claimed he put Linus on his new Dell
    computer without ever booting the W7pro that was installed at Dell. Before buying, I checked on the web and that seemed to be a fairly common and legal approach. The DVD arrived in a sealed envelope with a Dell bar code and part number. A smaller sealed envelope attached to it had the license key inside.

    After trying all the claimed fixes I could find, I called Microsoft Activation center at 888-352-7140. They admit it is MS software that set the bit in a DB that causes C004E003. They either can not, or will not tell me what is wrong that caused the bit to be set. They also say that only Dell can unset the bit.

    So I called Dell. I talked to people at four different support groups. It was difficult to get them to understand that I did not buy anything from Dell. Even after they accepted I was not a customer, they were still polite and seemed to be trying to help. Apparently, nobody at Dell can take a 25 character product license key and find out if it is actually from Dell, known to be fake, used more than once, or anything.

    Can you tell if the OS is fake, or offer any other help.

    Thanks very much.

    Hi Chuck,

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but its a non-genuine install, you were sold a pup

    Your very first words "i built a computer"
    Means that the only types of product key you can use legitamately are
    OEM System Builder
    Retail

    You have a OEM only key, for use solely on Factory built models.
    The product ID data, i believe, was for use on demo machines.

    MS picked it up as non genuine when you started swapping your HDD's/SSD's
    There is no way you can check to see if a 25 character key is genuine or not UNTIL its been on a comp for roughly 90 days, when MS performs a major genuine check.
    The slmgr/rearm you used will only work another 2 times.

    Thanks for the info, even if it is bad news. So I went looking to buy a valid license, or kit with license. I did not find any retail kits, but there are lots of system builder kits available. Does it make any difference where I get one from. One seller claims a system builder kit can go through many system builder's hands before it goes into a system, but I can not find any confirmation of that at Microsoft.com. I don't want to make the same kind of mistake again.

    One System Builder OEM COA key will only work legal on the first system it is installed and activated on.
    It is tied to the motherboard in that system.

    You can not buy a legal Windows 7 COA key by itself. It must come with a media; example DVD.

    If you can try and buy Windows 7 from a reputable local dealer. That way if you have a problem it can be taken care of.
