after my main system finally dying i reinstalled my oem copy of windows 7 home premium on my laptop a hp 530. When i went to activation my copy of the operating system it popped up saying activation key is blocked. i tried the "call microsoft to activate" and it says the same thing and im unable to go further.. i dont know why my key has all of a sudden been blocked, it is a original disk with original key bought from a legit online company (www.ebuyer.com) and never had a issue activating. thankyou Alex

Thr primary reason your key is blocked is because OEM versions may not legally be transferred from the original system to another platform. OEM keys are locked to the original hardware for life IAW the Micrsoft EULA.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

im under the impression that once the system that has the original installation is nolonger in use (dead) it can be reinstalled on another system. but can only be installed on one system at a time ?

ok. my main pc died on me a custom build gaming pc. due to it being close to xmas im unable to afford a replacement motherboard and cpu/ram/psu due to water spillage and power surge which killed the system. i have removed windows vista from my hp530 laptop due to it being very slow and installed my OEM copy of windows 7 as its much faster and much better in my opinion. the diagnostic report: Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0): ----------------------------------------- Windows Validation Data--> Validation Code: 0 Cached Online Validation Code: N/A, hr = 0xc004f012 Windows Product Key: *****-*****-2R84K-P43XX-DWPMG Windows Product Key Hash: PC6dvixU7CBGu/1YtMOoFSZFr6Q= Windows Product ID: 00359-OEM-8702031-29426 Windows Product ID Type: 3 Windows License Type: OEM System Builder Windows OS version: 6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003 ID: {45602040-3E6A-487B-871E-BD9D14B6811B}(1) Is Admin: Yes TestCab: 0x0 LegitcheckControl ActiveX: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Product Name: Windows 7 Home Premium Architecture: 0x00000000 Build lab: 7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506 TTS Error: Validation Diagnostic: Resolution Status: N/A Vista WgaER Data--> ThreatID(s): N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Windows XP Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 File Exists: No Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaTray.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaLogon.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAExec.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAAddin.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Data--> Office Status: 100 Genuine Microsoft Office Standard 2007 - 100 Genuine OGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Office Diagnostics: 025D1FF3-364-80041010_025D1FF3-229-80041010_025D1FF3-230-1_025D1FF3-517-80040154_025D1FF3-237-80040154_025D1FF3-238-2_025D1FF3-244-80070002_025D1FF3-258-3_E2AD56EA-765-d003_E2AD56EA-766-0_E2AD56EA-134-80004005 Browser Data--> Proxy settings: N/A User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32) Default Browser: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe Download signed ActiveX controls: Prompt Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Disabled Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Allowed Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: Disabled Allow scripting of Internet Explorer Webbrowser control: Disabled Active scripting: Allowed Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: Allowed File Scan Data--> Other data--> Office Details: <GenuineResults><MachineData><UGUID>{45602040-3E6A-487B-871E-BD9D14B6811B}</UGUID><Version>1.9.0027.0</Version><OS>6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003</OS><Architecture>x32</Architecture><PKey>*****-*****-*****-*****-DWPMG</PKey><PID>00359-OEM-8702031-29426</PID><PIDType>3</PIDType><SID>S-1-5-21-1208367423-3733381202-1991323338</SID><SYSTEM><Manufacturer>Hewlett-Packard</Manufacturer><Model>HP 530 Notebook PC(KP479AA#ABU)</Model></SYSTEM><BIOS><Manufacturer>Hewlett-Packard</Manufacturer><Version>68MVU Ver.
