What are some of the common causes of validation failure for Windows Vista systems?
Customers are often unaware that their copy of Windows is not genuine. Validation failure can occur for a number of reasons. For example, a customer can purchase a new computer from a dishonest business that charges for genuine software but installs a counterfeit copy of Windows. When the customer attempts to validate their copy of Windows, validation fails because the software is counterfeit. Or, a customer could buy a copy of Windows from an auction site but actually receives counterfeit software. If you discover you are using non-genuine software, Microsoft has flexible options to convert to a genuine version. Microsoft also provides relief and support to victims of counterfeit software.
