OS Support → Post your problem → genuine status changes to *GEOGRAPHICALLY BLOCKED PID*21 Jul 2009, 01:20 You have to login or register to post comments. |



1. Students who graduated with software from their University are flagged by the Tool with a Blocked Volume Licensing Key because the agreement for use of the software was for when they are a registered student...when you graduate, no more license to use the software.
2. Same as #1 but the problem is "geographically blocked PID," meaning the software cannot be used outside of a certain geographic area, again mostly an Academic licensing situation.
3. "Key not valid with this copy of Windows," people trying to activate or validate XP Home with an XP Pro key, or vice versa.
4. "Invalid Product Key," which means the PK was either generated by a non-Microsoft key generator program or that the original owner of the PK reported it lost, stolen, or compromised to MS.
5. "Blocked VLK" which means the PK was once a valid key, but that the original owner asked MS to block it from being used to activate or validate copies of XP, or that MS detected a pattern of abuse and decide to block the key itself.
4 + 5. Both of the above are for the Volume License edition of XP Pro, which as a rule, individual consumers should not have installed (there is no VolumeLicensing edition of XP Home or Media Center). In fact if an individual consumer does have a Volume Licensing copy of XP installed, it's almost virtual certainty that it is unauthorized. Individuals with a VL copy of XP Pro may have downloaded and installed it themselves knowing it is a cracked or unauthorized installation, but IME it's much more likely that it was installed by an untrained repair tech, or by a well meaning compu-geek buddy who helped you fix XP, or by an unscroupulous computer seller who may have charged you the $100 or $200 for the real McCoy but gave you the bogus copy, or in the case of purchasing a second-hand computer from a business, the business did not bother to remove their VL edition and reinstall the original edition of XP that came with the computer. And VL editions of XP are licensed as Upgrades only, so a VL installation of XP ca never legitmately be the first and only XP license for a computer---there has to be an underlying or "base" license from which you upgrade using a VL edition.
6. "Activated too many times" means what is says, but in most cases it turns out to be a user reinstalling XP a whole lot, and a phone call to the activation center fixes it.
7. And other assorted problems, such as people trying to use OEM copies of XP on several different computers at once.
i tried it but it doesnt work
