    Get a valid license?

    Seriously though, you don't provide enough details (i.e. where did you get the license from, what kind of license is it, etc.) to give any advice other than contact Microsoft and/or whoever sold you the license.

    I had that issue like a year ago ... waited 2 days and it went away was a legit copy ...try to wait a few days and see.

    it still says so contact whoever you did buy the computer from ( or the windows licence if you did just buy win )

    Maybe that person reused the key or it wasn't genuine to begin with. Could also be a glitch but not very likely imho.

    Either way, contacting Microsoft should clear things up one way or the other.

    On a 'paper', like just printed out? Or on an actual microsoft sticker? Is there any watermark or something indicating its genuine? have you changed any hardware?

    What's the first 5 alphanumerics of it?

    Call Microsoft. Read them what's on your sticker.

    If you haven't changed motherboard or things like that (hard drive is okay) then either of 2 things have happened. You bought a computer with a pirated OS and an update may have gone out that fixed whatever hole in the OS that was being used to make your key seem legit. Or you have an infection, I've seen this more often than the other.

    Depends - in some countries those OEM restrictions are void and I'm not sure how strict they are enforced elsewhere.
