Genuine Validation Successful - Windows is Genuine




READ THIS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.





General questions


If you're seeing notifications that the copy of Windows that is installed on your PC might not be genuine, or that you might be a victim of counterfeit software, it's likely that your copy of Windows was not properly activated or is otherwise not genuine. To fix this, click the notification and follow the steps to either repair Windows or—if you have inadvertently obtained counterfeit software—buy genuine Windows.
Until you correct the issue, you'll receive periodic reminders that Windows is not genuine. In addition, to more clearly display these messages, your desktop might turn black. You can reset it, but every 60 minutes, it will return to black until the issue is resolved.
Regardless of genuine status, Windows will still be able to get critical security updates. However, access to optional updates or benefits available exclusively to genuineWindows customers, such as Microsoft Security Essentials, might be restricted.

Make sure to buy Windows or a PC with Windows preinstalled either directly fromMicrosoft or from a local or online retail store that you know and trust. Also look for key features of genuine Windows, such as the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), a proof of license label, and an edge-to-edge hologram. See How to know you're buying genuine Windows for more information.

You can't install Windows on more computers than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow. Usually, the rule to follow is that only one copy of Windows can be installed on one PC. See Activating Windows 7: frequently asked questions and theMicrosoft Volume Licensing website for more information.

Try checking your junk mail or spam folders for an order confirmation e‑mail, or contact service@microsoft.com.

Finding your product key

Depending on your location and method of payment, your product key can be found in one of the following places:
  • On the Microsoft Order Confirmation page
  • In the e‑mail sent to the address you used to place your order
  • In a link in your e‑mail to an order status page
  • On the packing slip that arrived with your Get Genuine Online Kit
For additional help with your order, you can contact support.

Yes. Regardless of genuine status, you'll still be able to get critical security updates. However, if your copy of Windows isn't genuine, you won't be able to install many updates that are exclusively for genuine Windows customers, including MicrosoftSecurity Essentials. Microsoft strongly recommends that you get genuine Microsoftsoftware immediately to help ensure a safer computing experience.

Activation and validation


Activation pairs your product key with your hardware configuration and helps verify that your copy of Windows hasn't been used on more computers than the MicrosoftSoftware License Terms allow. For more information, learn about the relationship between activation and validation and see Activating Windows 7: frequently asked questions.
If Windows is not genuine, the validation results page will detail why Windows was not genuine, as well as instruct you how to quickly and easily resolve the issue. No personally identifiable information is collected. For more information on what information is collected and how it is used, see the Genuine Microsoft software privacy statement.

Validation is an online process that lets you verify that your copy of Windows is genuine. Validation is supported for some versions of Windows. Validation might be required for your copy of Windows before you can get downloads and some updates from Microsoft, which are reserved for PCs running genuine WindowsWindows might also prompt you to run genuine validation if activation is not properly completed. All customers can access security updates using Automatic Updates.
If your copy of Windows fails validation, the validation results page will detail whyWindows was not genuine, as well as instruct you how to quickly and easily resolve the issue. No personally identifiable information is collected. For details on what information is collected and how it is used, see the Genuine Microsoft software privacy statement.
Currently, online validation is supported by all editions of Windows 7 andWindows Vista as well as the following Windows XP editions: Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional (excluding Windows XP Professional x64 Edition),Windows XP Starter Edition, and Windows XP Media Center Edition.

There are a few common scenarios why Windows running on a PC might be discovered to be non-genuine during validation.
  • Repairs. You might start to see messages on your desktop that Windows is not genuine after your PC has been repaired. Validation can fail after a repair because some repairs require reinstallation of Windows and during the process, the shop or person repairing your PC used a product key to activate Windows that was different than the one used to activate Windows when it was originally installed. You might not see notifications that Windows isn’t genuine until after you try to download something from the Microsoft Download Center that requires validation, and validation fails. To get genuine, re-enter your original product key to properly activate Windows.
For other scenarios, you'll likely need to buy additional Windows licenses to get genuine.
  • 1 License = 1 PC. Another common cause of Windows validation failure happens when you try to install Windows on more computers than your license allows. For instance, if you purchased one copy of Windows and installed in on more than one PC, online validation might fail because the product key has already been used on another computer. Normally, the rule to follow for most copies of Windows is that only one copy of Windows can be installed on one PC. Go to the Microsoft Volume Licensing website to learn about what your license allows.
  • Counterfeit software. Validation will also fail if you’ve inadvertently acquired and installed counterfeit Windows. Because counterfeit can be difficult to detect, theMicrosoft‌ How to Tell site can help you identify counterfeit software and file a counterfeit software report. Validation failure is also common for counterfeitWindows that was purchased either by itself, perhaps from an online auction site, or even installed on a used PC that was purchased online or in-person. Remember to ask the seller to include the original Windows disc and the Certificate of Authenticity.
Microsoft has special offers to help you get genuine. If validation fails for Windowsrunning on your PC, you can buy genuine Windows directly from the validation results page that appears.

Who to contact for support depends on the way that you purchased Windows:
  • If you bought a new PC with Windows preinstalled, then your PC manufacturer can help you with activation or validation issues for WindowsView a list of contact numbers for manufacturers in your region.
  • If you bought Windows separately, such as from an authorized reseller or from a friend, then use the contact numbers provided during the activation process to get additional support from Microsoft in your local area.

Yes. You can complete the validation process using non-Microsoft web browsers, but you'll validate using the alternate method by running a small executable file. The browser plug-in provides the same Windows validation as the ActiveX controls.
Mozilla Firefox users: Although the instructions for the validation tool executable file say to open or run the file from its current location, Firefox will not present you with either of those options. Instead, save the file to your PC, and then double-click the file to run it. For assistance with technical issues related to browser plugins, see genuineMicrosoft software diagnostics.

ActiveX controls are components used by Internet Explorer. These controls, or "add-ons," enhance the browsing experience by allowing animation or helping with tasks, such as installing security updates from Microsoft Update or validating genuineMicrosoft software. The validation processes for Windows uses an ActiveX control to check the authenticity of your software. The first time you run validation from Windowsor request a genuine Windows download from the Microsoft Download Center orMicrosoft Update, you'll be asked to install an ActiveX control. The ActiveX controls used by genuine Windows validation are signed by Microsoft Corporation. If you do not see sufficient evidence of the Microsoft signature, you should not download the control. If an ActiveX control does not contain a valid publisher signature,Internet Explorer will prompt you with a security warning and prevent you from downloading it to your PC.
When validation is done for the copy of Windows that is running on your PC, a pairing is made between the product key installed on your PC as well as the hardware configuration on your computer. If you validate Windows again with the same product key, the validation service does a quick check to make sure that the pairing still matches. This is to make sure that Windows or Office is properly activated and not in use on more computers than permitted by the software licensing terms. No personally identifiable information is ever collected by the validation service. Read the genuineMicrosoft software privacy statement.
If you have trouble running the ActiveX control, you might use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the Microsoft Download Center or Genuine Microsoft Software webpages to request additional assistance. You might also access the genuine Microsoft software diagnostic page for troubleshooting tools.
Note: ActiveX cannot always be used because some browser security settings and some companies do not allow its use. Because of this, there is an alternate method to validate your software that provides the same functionality as the ActiveX controls. This method involves running a small executable file.

Microsoft doing Windows 8 Partner Preview at Computex


Microsoft promised to preview the next-generation of Windows at Computex on Wednesday.
The software giant held its Computex keynote on Wednesday and promised a partner preview event for the next version of Windows. The event takes place at 10AM local time in Taipei on Thursday June 2 (see other time zones). Microsoft’s Steven Guggenheimer revealed the event on Wednesday during Microsoft’s Computex keynote, according to Engadget. The event will follow a Microsoft demonstration of Windows 8 during the All Things Digital D9 conference later today.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer teased that the company is planning a unique approach to Windows 8 tablets last week. The software giant is working on a “unique contribution” to tablets according to Ballmer. “More news about that in the not-too-distant future,” he said. Microsoft’s Windows chief, Steven Sinofsky, is expected to demonstrate the company’s efforts with Windows 8 this week. Sinofsky is appearing at the All Things Digital D9 conference on Wednesday morning. Bill Gates introduced Microsoft’s Surface computer in 2007 and the company demonstrated Windows 7 multitouch in 2008 at the D conferences. Microsoft will show a “technology preview” of its Windows 8 Tablet experience at the conference later today.
Several Taiwan based PC manufacturers have reportedly complained that they have been excluded from early Windows 8 development programs. The software giant has reportedly held talks with Nvidia, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Intel and AMD to seek their participation in a special Integrated Development Program for Windows 8. Some companies have complained to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in Taiwan to seek government involvement.
Microsoft is expected to detail further information on its next-generation of Windows at a developer event in September. The company is currently finishing Milestone builds of the software and is likely to deliver a beta copy of the operating system to developers in the fall. Microsoft’s partner preview event and D9 demo will only hint at the future of the platform, holding back vital information for a big unveil later this year. Windows 8 is expected to be released in late 2012, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer promised Windows 8 PCs, Tablets and Slates next year during a speech last week.





Windows 8 Tablet UI to be demoed next week


Microsoft is due to showcase its Windows 8 tablet UI next week, according to reports.
The respected Bloomberg news agency confirmed on Thursday that Microsoft’s Steven Sinofsky will demonstrate the company’s “immersive” touch screen UI running on hardware with an Nvidia Tegra chip. Microsoft is attempting to counter Apple’s domination of touch based mobile devices and tablets. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, said the company is in a race during a speech in New Delhi today. “We are in a race,” he said. “We are not doing that badly, frankly. We are doing pretty well in that race. But the race is on to continue to push Windows to a variety of new form factors.”
Microsoft’s Windows chief, Steven Sinofsky, is expected to demonstrate the company’s efforts with Windows 8 next week. WinRumors exclusively detailed the company’s plans earlier this week. Sinofsky is appearing at the All Things Digital D9 conference on Wednesday morning. The software giant confirmed Sinofsky’s appearance on Monday. Microsoft has a habit of introducing new technologies at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital Conference, which will run from May 31 to June 2 this year. Bill Gates introduced Microsoft’s Surface computer in 2007 and the company demonstrated Windows 7 multitouch in 2008. Microsoft will show a “technology preview” of its Windows 8 Tablet experience at the conference next week.

Some companies have complained to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in Taiwan to seek government involvement.
Microsoft may introduce Windows 8 ARM based tablets ahead of a full desktop release according to reports. Microsoft’s competitive tablet strategy is believed to be further along than expected. Dell’s recently leaked Tablet Roadmap revealed that the OEM has marked Q1 2012 as its date for a Windows 8 based slate. WinRumors understands that Microsoft has been working on an ARM based version of Windows for nearly a year and that it is laboring hard to bring this to the market as soon as possible. Microsoft has previously promised a “major revamp” of Windows for slate applications, that will come in the next version, Windows 8.
Microsoft has so far been extremely quiet on the Windows 8 front. Windows Chief, Steven Sinofsky, took to the stage at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January to introduce a technology preview of Microsoft’s Windows ARM support and show off an early build of Windows 8. Microsoft is partnering with ARM-based manufactures NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments to produce new Tablet devices. Rumors suggest that Microsoft will create a dual-UI for Windows 8. A tile-based user interface codenamed “Mosh” will reportedly be included.
Steve Ballmer has described the next release of Windows as the company’s “riskiest product bet”. It is understood that Microsoft will feature deep cloud integration into the future OS to realise its vision of “three screens and a cloud”. One Microsoft employee recently said he believes Windows 8 will be the “most important Windows ever shipped.”




Windows 8 will come with “Windows 7 mode” feature, but why?


At Intel’s Investor Meeting 2011 at the company’s Santa Clara, California, headquarters on Tuesday, Intel software chief RenĂ©e James told her keynote audience that Windows 8 will come with a feature called “Windows 7 Mode”
Microsoft said that this information is ”factually inaccurate and unfortunately misleading.” but if we believe that this “rumor” is true, why exactly would Microsoft add such a feature to the upcoming OS that is said to be similar to Windows 7.
If Microsoft has actually added such a feature in Windows 8 there can only be one reason that there are some changes in the OS core that will make the OS incompatible with many applications we have been running on Windows 7.
I should mention that there is such feature in Windows 7 called “Windows XP mode” that allows users to run applications that are incompatible in Windows 7 but runs on windows XP.
There was a difference of about 10 years and many critical features between Windows XP and Windows 7 that made it easier for Microsoft to position Windows 7 among customers, but this difference is not that big between Windows 7 and Windows 8.
If this rumor is true Microsoft will have a hard time selling Windows 8 among Windows 7 users. (Source)





Write protect your USB/Thumb/Flash/Pen Drive




It happens with me many time that I had to copy some files from my pen drive to our college lab and the moment I plugged in my pen drive, it gets infected with dozens of viruses. Yes, its true that our college labs are too infected. Now before I can use the pen drive again, I need to make sure to clean it first so that the virus may not spread on more computers. I scan for my pen drive using NOD32 and no doubt it completely remove all traces of virus but it wastes my time as I always have over 2 GB of files that I carry with me all the time.
So I came to know of this trick of write protecting the drive so that I can safely copy things I want without the worry of virus being copied on my USB drive. Although you won’t be able to write any thing on your pen drive, its still very useful in case you want something to copy from your pen drive and don’t want to get infected. Before proceeding I must tell you that playing with the registry can be harmful for your Operating System (OS) and I advise you to take a backup of your registry in case anything goes wrong.

Note : Click Photo to See Actual Size.
This trick works only on XP SP2 and Later Versions, you need to have administrator privileges.
  • Open Registry Editor by Start > Run.
  • Type in regedit.
  • Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\  



Locate the sub-key StorageDevicePolicies. If it doesn’t exist then create it first. Create a new key under Control by right clicking on it so that you don’t create it elsewhere by mistake (as shown in the above screenshot).




Right click in the blank area of the sub key you just created and create a new DWORD value by the name WriteProtect.




Double-click it and set the value data as 1 (and 0 for disabling it).


  • Click OKclose the Registry Editor and restart the PC.
The drawback of this trick is that you need to remember this trick by yourself and you need to restart the PC after applying this trick. Killing explorer.exe and restarting it will not do the job everytime. I am still looking for any other ways fo protecting your drives and I will post in on my blog if I found a better trick than this one. Share your thoughts in the comment.
