On 18/06/2015 I bought a windows 7 ultimate key. I activated it, connected to microsoft, updated, and everything was nice.

However, to my surprise, today it started saying that its not genuine.

My first reaction was "I'm going to contact the seller! I'm sure he can help me!". Nope. Website doesn't exist anymore. I now think my Windows is actually not genuine indeed.

If I try to apply the activation backup, it doesn't work.

If I try to insert the key again, it says that the key is blocked by microsoft.

If I say I want to buy a new license, it doesn't offer me the option for windows 7, only windows 10.

I use some acessibility things, so I can update for free to windows 10. However when I try to install it, it says my windows need to be activated in order to install it.

What are my other options? 2016 is here to say "I'm not over yet". Dammit.

I'm from Brazil, and the automated call is not an option.

So, I found a youtube video that mentioned to run slmgr -rearm on cmd with administrator privileges and restart the pc.

Just that. No installing things or deleting things. And it worked.
