    @ puffuduff, what do you mean by
    is this a pre-activated iso you downloaded or did you mean you made it with clean untouched windows 7 iso and added multi oem project ?

    Edit: yes the reports you provided were in correct format. Mgadiag report: shows file mismatch errors

    Code:
    WGA Data-->
    Validation Status: Invalid License
    Validation Code: 50
    
    File Scan Data-->
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\wat\watadminsvc.exe[hr = 0x80070002]
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\wat\npwatweb.dll[hr = 0x80070002]
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\wat\watux.exe[hr = 0x80070002]
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\wat\watweb.dll[hr = 0x80070002]

    I made it over an original ISO.
    I'm gonna tell you something interesting.

    That not genuine message, it disappears from time to time and also it doesnt pop up after restarting for a while.

    Edit: Now that I re-enable software protection platform service, it shows my licence as legit. Dunno if that'll stay that way.
    Edit 2: I really don't want that service checking my license if it's doing it via contacting Microsoft.

    If you have re-enabled the software protection platform service they it should be ok. You should now post new Mgadiag report.

    The service doesn't contact Microsoft and you can probably block the exe file via the MS firewall anyway.

    It's the WAT update that you'll want to avoid. You currently don't have it installed, as you can tell by the 4 mismatched files.

    Isn't it contradictory?

    Will those mismatched files bother me? Note that I'm not willing to update nor use any windows online services.

    Normally it doesn't matter if you have it or not since the loader passes the tests, but because puffyduff is concerned about privacy then he'll just have to avoid it.

    The most recent mgadiag report looks good, except the wat files are missing.

    Installing kb971033 at this point is optional. If you are super paranoid about MS checking up on you, it is ok to leave it uninstalled.

    edit : darn, I was typing message the same time as Daz ;)
