Is there a 100% correlation between WGA validation failure and owning a non-genuine copy of Windows? Is it possible to pass WGA validation once and fail later?
We have found that nearly all genuine Windows customers have validated without issue. Where there have been any problems, we’ve worked to resolve them, and found these problems affect only a very small number of customers. It is possible for users to pass WGA validation once, then fail later as a result of non-genuine software. Microsoft frequently discovers new keys that are being counterfeited and adds them to the WGA service. After new keys are added to the WGA service, a validation result could change.
