    The legitcheck page was removed probably because it was invalidating genuine Windows 7 activated using Windows Server 2016 KMS host. That's only my guess.

    If you want, or need, you may try this version of legitcheck glued using duct tape that was copied before they removed the website:

    The legit check doesn't activate, it only shows if windows is activated.

    The Legit check is done by KB971033, anyway. Just install, run the WatAdminSvc.exe file, and wait. On a system without issues, you'll be Genuine, shortly again.

    Well then I guess my windows was just confused and needed something to show it it is activated :) "Not genuine" msg corner has vanished and it shows as activated in system properties.

    Thanks. Just checked on installed updates list and already had this one. Did not run the WatAdminSvc directly though...legitcheck.hta has fixed all the problems :)
