How to Install Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool

    • 1). Open the Internet Explorer browser. Microsoft's tools are not available for use in other browsers without installing an additional application. The page that is presented will have links to guides that help you identify piracy and learn what to do about it. To run the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool, click on "Validate Windows."

    • 2). The screen will say "Validation in Progress," then after a moment will alert you that the ActiveX control for the application is not installed. To install it, click the information bar at the top of the page, and select "Install ActiveX control...".

    • 3). A screen will pop up asking you if you want to install the software. Click "Install" to allow it to access your computer. The validation tool will now take several minutes to complete. If you're on a dial-up connection, it could take up to 10 minutes to finish.

    • 4). You will be presented with a screen reporting the results of the scan. If all goes well it will say "Thank you for using genuine Microsoft products." If there is a problem, the site will alert you that the software key in use does not appear to be valid, and will give you steps you can take to make your computer legal and eligible for Microsoft product downloads.
