Microsoft Home
Dear Microsoft User,

Due to validation issues with your Product Key for your Windows OS Platform, we need you to validate your information so we can ensure nobody else is using your product key. Each computer must have a unique Product Key, this problem usually happens if you install Windows on two different machines and use the same product key.

We need you to verify your information so we can send you a New Product Key VIA USPS. This also includes an information packet including ways to secure your Windows Platform from malicious hackers. Your reply is needed so you can continue to receive updates from Microsoft and always be up to date with the newest Service Packs. Using same product key on two or more different machines is a felony and can result into serious fines.

Please follow the directions below to complete the process.


1. Click Here to be redirected to Microsoft Secure Server
2. Fill all the required fields and press "Continue".
3. Insure your information is correct, and then fill in the required fields and press "Submit'.
4. Please print the final page for you records.
5. Your done! Please expect the package in 4 to 6 weeks.


Please do not reply to this e-mail confirmation. It was sent to you through an automated system that is not monitored. If you have additional questions, you can call Microsoft Customer Service Monday through Friday, 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. (Eastern Time), at (888) 218-5617 (toll-free in the United States).
