I'm trying to activate windows 7 with a valid msdn retail sales license
I'm trying to activate windows 7 with a license valid retail MSDN, but it does not work. Microsoft support told me to ask here - anyone know?
MSDN provides Windows 7 license in retail, Volume, and the academic channel.
As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work.
Try activating the phone again and talk with another agent:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)

On MSDN or TechNet product key
They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.
In your case, what has probably happened is, you bought a license MSDN key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sold it to you probably sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use.

Strange that Ultimate would come preinstalled as it is normally only Home Premium.
Try to open an elevated command prompt type slui 4, follow the instructions to make the robocall. If it fails, stay on the line to talk with activation agent.
Otherwise, you will need to contact Dell. They must have sold you a special Ultimate OEM disc at some point?

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
