Here are some utilities, all of which will display your product keys:

Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

(It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the

OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not

match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as

Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.

The key code on the sticker is for use with your Windows CD

(that hopefully came with your PC)

if you ever need to reinstall Windows.

Your Key is an MAK key - which means that it's a Volume License key - your System Admin should know it (it is, after all, their responsibility)

Your system could not have shipped with Win 7 - it was built in 2007 at the latest, so the Key on the sticker is either for Win XP, or for Vista, and would not work on Win 7 anyhow.

There really is nothing we can do for you, except to advise you that if you bought this key through retail channels, then you were sold a counterfeit.

That being the case, then you could ask Sony to provise you with a set of the original recovery disks for your machine, then upgrade that to Win 7 using a legal pack bought from a reputable dealer.
