Well, lots of different license keys listed there. Did you have one
specifically to which you meant to refer? If, for example, the product
key is the volume license (VLK) then you got ripped off with a pirated
copy of Windows. Unless you actually paid for a volume license of
Windows (which means you paid for *multiple* licenses) and unless you
got ALL those licenses (which you didn't) then you bought the illegal
"Corporate" version from the seller (which you haven't yet identified).
So the seller gave you a volume license but an OEM key, so the key won't
work with the version of Windows that you got stuck with.
