From the following WEB page  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/exe-validation.aspx?id=29156 I downloaded GenuineCheck.exe as required. 

However on executing the program I got the following error message

"This version of the Windows Genuine Advantage tool is no longer supported. Please download the newest version and ensure that your system clock is accurate"

Downloaded a copy from Microsoft but the tool requires Windows XP to load.

Is there a Windows 7 version?

So where do I get a copy of the latest version?

You MUST use the 32-bit version of IE9 - not the 64-bit version.

If you're having problem then, check validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag and www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate

    The problem is that your system is unable to properly read the BIOS SLIC table that should be present in the system to be able to self-activate the OS.  

     You need to change the Product Key to the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case, using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page.

    You may need to activate by phone.

    I have the exact same problem.

    genuinecheck.exe simply does not work on windows 7.

    i downloaded it with chrome, firefox. Also the process in IE9 does not work, i get kicked to the same page with advantages of genuine windows software, but no download link.

    I need to download the hotfix to get windows update running again, it is stuck while configuring updates. But the hotfix needs validation with genuinecheck.exe.

    Seems a lot of people are experiencing this...

    thanks,

    Lansen
