Thanks, I did call the activation center and they told me the product key is blocked and is not genuine. Thanks for the kb article, I didn't see that.

Can anyone verify is the license I purchased is valid? It says the product has already been activated and I can't reactivate. It seems like its a volume license and not a retail license, but the packaging and media I received looks like a retail box. I ran a tool called MGADIAG and had the following results. Thanks in advance..

0xC004C003 The activation server determined that the specific product key is in use. This was packaged in a "retail" box, and did not have volume license media inside. It had retail looking 32/64bit dvd's inside. Is this pirated software?
