One fine morning, it started saying that our Windows 7 copy is not valid. We reinstalled Windows 7 using the key provided by the vendor at the bottom, and even tried Microsoft's toll-free number for support, but Microsoft said that it is a pirated version. But that is an OEM version with the sticker intact on that laptop
face. We have received many emails about this problem, so today we are sharing a working solution for it. In fact many Windows 7 SP1 RC http://www.askvg.com/genuine-windows-7-became-pirated-make-it-original-and-activated-again/ users are also facing this problem. Problem Symptom: You were using genuine Windows 7 without any problem. It was activated properly. But one day when you logged into Windows, you received following message: Windows is not genuine Your computer might not be running a counterfeit copy of Windows. Along with the above mentioned message, you also noticed that the desktop background became black and following error windows 7 message was shown on the bottom right corner of the screen: This copy of Windows is not genuine. Also when you checked System Properties, you got following error message: You must activate today. Activate Windows now. Problem Cause: Actually this problem occurs when there is a lack of permissions on a registry key "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20". By default, System, Network Service and Administrator accounts have "Full Control" and "Read" counterfeit windows 7 permissions on this registry key. But sometimes "Network Service" doesn't have proper permissions on this registry key and you face this problem. This may be the result of applying a Plug and Play Group Policy object (GPO).

By default, it doesn't have proper permissions to access Plug and Play service. Problem Solution: There are 2 solutions actually. You can try them one by one: METHOD 1: Using RSOP 1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator as mentioned here and then type rsop.msc and press Enter. It'll open RSOP (Resultant Set Of Policy) window. 2. Now go to: Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/System Services 3. In right-side pane, check "Startup" type of "Plug and Play" service. It should be set to "Not Defined". If its not, double-click on it and set its Startup type to "Automatic". 4. Now provide following command in RUN or Command Prompt: gpupdate /force 5. That's it. Restart your system and your problem should be fixed. METHOD 2: Using Registry Editor 1. Type regedit in RUN or Start Menu search box and press Enter. It'll open Regi
