Validation

A few months ago I purchased a copy of XP Pro (my 3rd copy). When I
installed it sometime later, it Activated normally. Since then the update
has worked as expected. This wek the new Validation check decided it had an
invalid Product Key and therefore it was not Validated and suggested that I
contact the reseller ( I am awaiting further information from them).

Why would the copy Activate, if indeed it was not a valid Product Key?
