Flies OEM Windows activation on laptop

Question

ebay

There is a laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad) bought on ebay. According to the description, it was used only a couple of times for testing some software and looks really untouched. However, the screw was formatted and Windows 7 Enterprise (not activated) was installed, there are no recovery discs included.

However, there is a CoA sticker under the battery with a Windows 7 Pro serial number. I installed this very patch. She activated without any questions, but after a couple of weeks, the activation “flew off” and the citizen began to yell loudly about malicious copyright infringement. Re-activation with the same data does not work.

On the one hand, the presence of the axis did not appear in the listing and I got what I paid for, but on the other hand, the presence of CoA and the OEM nature of Windows hints that even if someone stole the key, the license still belongs to the owner of the piece of iron , i.e. to me.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue in their favor? Are there options that I really do not have rights to Windows in this situation?

Try to activate by phone. There is no one to help except Microsoft.

Yes. As an option - a person bought a laptop and "refused" the pre-installed software, the sticker could be preserved.
If there was an enterprise there, it was quite possible that it was purchased for the office, the corporate party is honest and therefore oem from the sticker is illegal.
Another option - the laptop was broken and the case was changed, the sticker was inherited :)

Answer 2

Activate by phone.

Answer 3

BIOS not updated? The SLIC table required for OEM activation may have been erased.
Search the Internet for SLIC ToolKit V3.2 - it will tell you about the presence of a table, an installed certificate.
