Verify your Product Keys do not fit this:

If the Product Keys don't fit the above, send these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Registration
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProductID
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion;ProductID
