Since you do not have the Recovery CD supplied by Compaq, please contact Compaq (which is now owned by Hewlett-Packard FYI) so you can order a set of Recovery CDs. It is possible that before you purchased the computer, the PK Updater Uitility had already been run on the computer.

After that one use, the only alternative is to use genuine Microsoft systembuilder/OEM media or the Compaq Recovery solution provided by Compaq (preferred) to cleanly install (in your case) XP Pro. However, the Utility and its support system are designed so that it can only be used once with any given Product Key. Normally the solution to your situation would be to run the Product Key Updater Utility, as you have tried to do. This is why you were seeing the "software counterfeiting" messages on your computer, because the current installation of XP is an unauthorized installation. Businesses, schools and gov'ts normally use VL editions for flexibility in installing many computers. If you search the forum for the part of the VLK reported by the mgadiag utility, WRKJB-YKRFQ-XVK98, you will see that over a dozen other posters have submitted reports with that same blocked VLK.Īs a rule, VL editions of XP should not be sold to individual consumers.

Also, MS may have blocked the key if it notices a pattern of misuse, ie, more installations of XP using that key than authorized. VLKs are blocked by Microsoft at the request of the original keyholder for such reasons as the key was lost, stolen, compromised, misused, or expired.

"The new product key you are using to update has been previously used or is already in use." I have tried re-instaling xp i delete the current installed partition but still get the same error once i sign in.

Therefore buying it of Ebay I did not get the xp disc with it So my teachers husband (IT Tech) gave me a copy of xp he said to use the product key that he wrote on the cd case, then change it to the one thats on my COA by downloading Microsoft's Key Update Tool. I recently brought this laptop on Ebay it came with xp pro and a COA on the back of it with my PK (Product Key).
