i have just gone and got a new system with windows xp pro oem install , but
when i try to change it via the microsoft 64bit site it says my pid/coa is
invalid .
why is this ? (please help)

From Rafael:
Who is your OEM? What people fail to realize is that their OEMs have their
own similar (if not identical) advancement programs and shouldn't be using
Microsoft's.

Provide more information.

A: Verify the software you want to exchange is included in the Technology
Advancement Software. If the software you have to exchange is included then
verify the software was acquired between March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2005.

What Rafael fails to realize is that there is a separate issue from
manufacturer OEM's. Those of us that had PC's specially built from local PC
shops, and got the basic NON-Manufacturer OEM XP Pro, are unable to to go
through the form. We're all getting invalid COA/PID errors, and this is a
completely separate issue. This is NOT from a large OEM. This is OEM from
local shops.

I'm in the same boat, A64 from a local shop, XP is an OEM CD with a sticker.
Tier2 has not replied to my e-mail request for validation either. It is a
legit copy.

Tier2 validation is currently being reviewed manually, so please be patient.

Ravlen,

That was my response to another customer, not you, which was merely pasted
by Andre. Don't get hostile on me...
