Greetings --
You need to examine the Product Key very carefully. It's awfully
easy to mistake a "B" for an "8," a "G" for a "6," an "S" for a "5,"
or a "Q" for a "0" or "O." Fortunately, Microsoft had the good sense
to leave the "1's," "I's," "O's," and "0's" out of the equation.
Also, be sure that your CapsLock if _off_ while entering the Product
Key.

If the above doesn't help, you'll need to contact the computers'
manufacturer for OEM license support. Microsoft provides no free
support for OEM versions. This would include such issues as a
lost/invalid Product Key or replacing damaged installation media.
