Ok not sure where to ask this so if it is in the wrong place can a admin move to correct spot. I have been having issues with some of my keys that I have not even used yet trying to validate windows and I keep getting message saying the key is not a valid key,can some one tell me what is up with this,I never had a issue until a couple days ago when I went to use a brand new Windows 7 key.. Is anyone else having any issues with there keys.. Is there a way to resolve this. Thanks

HiIf the automatic online activation fails, use the following procedure. 1. Press the Windows Logo Key+R. This will bring up the Run dialog box.2. In the Open: box, type slui 4 and press OK. This will start the manual activation wizard. 3. Select your Country in the drop down menu and click Next.4. The wizard will display a Toll Free phone number. Leave the wizard open on the computer and call that phone number.You will be given some recorded options. Select the option to talk to a live representative. The representative will manually activate that system for you. Ronnie Vernon MVP

Thanks Ronnie Vernon will give that a try,now I just notice on my other PC that has Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it was activated when I installed it a couple months ago now today it just went saying my Windows is not genuine. What is going on here this should not be happening when I have Genuine Keys,do I need to contact Microsoft every time to get these keys working when in fact I know there Genuine from my Technet Subscription..

These keys will still not activate even talking to someone live as the keys seem to be blocked any ideas what else I could do..

These keys will still not activate even talking to someone live as the keys seem to be blocked any ideas what else I could do.. Hi I recommend posting a summary of your experience up to this point in the following forum. Windows 7 Genuine Advantage Validation Issues (Windows 7) The experts there may be aware of issues with the Genuine Advantage component. Hope this helps. Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP
