I get this message: "You can be a victim of software counterfeiting" (referring to Microsoft Windows). I've had this computer for years and my system has been valadated before with no problems. Why am I this message after all these years. Also, I've moved several times, so I don't know where my package with the disks or tape. What should I do to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Validation failed? These scenarios may help to explain why.

He told me to buy a genuine Windows license. I don't want to do that. What can I do to remove my computer.
(I'm not in the least surprised!)
Your WIndows key is one that has never generated by MS - it is the result of the KeyGen utility a computer hacker.
Therefore, the current installation of Windows must be described as counterfeit.
There should be a sticker on the box of your machine with your own key Windows on it - it should also tell you for which version and edition of Windows the machine is under license.
It is usually (on a desktop/Tower machine) on the Panel back or on the right panel (but can be anywhere!).
If you find it, what version and edition of Windows is called? (XP Home or Pro?)
IF the cited edition is Pro, then you can use the WIndows product key update tool to change the key for that on the sticker - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/help/genuine/product-key
If the cited edition is home, then you must reinstall Windows from scratch using authentic materials and your key.

Original title: what it means when you download a file, but an error pops up saying you do not have administrative permissions, but actually you download from an administrative account?
I am trying to download the latest version of adobe flash player from their site. When I try to download it, it will tell me I have not sufficient permissions to do so and I am downloading to an administrative account, and it still does not work.
Hi Antonlew,
1. are you able to install/download other programs without any problem?
2. did you of recent changes on the system?
3. you receive the error message when download or install Flash player?
If you run the installation files, you can try using administrator privileges and check if that helps:
Right click on the program installation files and then click run as administrator.
See the article:
How to apply once with a full administrator access token?
You can also check out the link to Adobe support and check if it helps:

Original title: Windws claims key is no longer valid.
Windows worked fine, but suddenly I started to get a notification sayingyou may be victim of software counterfeiting. This copy of windows is not genuine. "I've had my laptop for about four years, and as I understand it, the windows license is not supposed to run out for as long as my laptop is functional. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may cause this problem? Or am I actually supposed to renew my license windows after a few years?
I tried various other suggestions, but none have worked. For example, many places would you delete the ""wgatray.exe ' file in Task Manager, but the file does not exist. " I also tried to enter my product key, but instead, I get an error code: 0xc004f063. Please help me.
Try the following:
Click Start, right click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click on the link 'change product key '.

N/AYou use a license key in Volme - and this key usage has been limited to one region, probably because the owner of the key or MS has noticed that the key was abused, but the owner has too many devices in this area to be able to easily change the key or the operating system on all, so they opted for the more expensive option.
If you are a member of this organization, contact your system administrator - if not, then your installation is a counterfeit.
It seems that your machine came with a version of Windows installed - for which version and edition of Windows is allowed, according to the COA sticker on the case?
