0xC004F061, software licensing service determined that the specified product key can only be to improve is not used for new installations

I had a nasty virus on my computer couldn't get rid of him, finally choose was formate and reinstall.

Now I go to activate my vista but cannot do so.  I don't have the original disc that came with the computer to reinstall the original operating system.

I don't want to buy a new key, I've already spent the money on high rank

Legally, you can't do a clean install with upgrade license.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of operating system recovery disk/s original.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

Reinstall the original OS > then go to Vista.

    I bought a version of Windows 7 on 2 or 3 years of Staples.  The seal on the media case was in place.  The version was installed and working fine since installation.  I have the case with the seal, media and product key.

    Last week, a message popped up the version was invalid.  When I try to turn on again, I get the message the product key has been blocked.

    As I said, it was new branch of Staples.  I don't understand how this can be an invalid version.

  • Activation problems! Code __Error: 0xC004F050... The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is not valid.

    I can't activate my OS. I use Windows Vista home premium, Service pack 2 (6.0.6002). I've been using that copy of Vista for over a year now without any problems of this kind. But now it seems that the product key - that came with the dvd when I BOUGHT it - is now invalid. I made sure that I didn't type in evil, but still the same issue. I tried to restore to a point earlier this afternoon, and once I failed tried to restore the system to a point, 2 days ago, but still not good. I thought he would have noticed in settings at that time at the time that my OS was still valid, but no.

    The error began just after I had a problem during the game Flight Simulator x, and I was forced to shut down the computer because the game froze. I do not have a GPU, I use shared graphics memory and I think that I have would be overloaded or something. But when I went to start windows again, after that I selected "start windows normally", he asked me for the product key and the rest is history.

    See you soon!

    Yeh that did not work, BUT cause the just dissappeared. See, problems sometimes just disappear!

    Here is what I tried:

    Enter the product key, after that I was invited to get in - that I found on the sticker on the side of the Tower. came up with the error that is the title of this thread.

    activation of vista via phone (as has been mentioned in the previous post). I couldn't find any activation ID. as I said before, there were nine empty groups, labeled as 1-9 - I had nothing to enter.

    tried to restore the system to a previous date: 1stly early in the afternoon, when everything was still ok. that did not work. then I tried a date that was two days before and that no longer works. It didn't work because the actual restoration process has not successfully completed - an error has occurred, so I'm not a not actually restore at any earlier date at all.

    has rang tech support and the guy was just as confused as I was at my lack of installation ID. He forced me to check a few other things, and then he forced me to restart it... then a 2nd time to make sure, as he was about to try something else.

    I logged in the 2nd time and wahllaaah! Back to normal, just had to put a round back photo upward once again, because the Office was all black - like what happens when you don't have a copy authentic Vista I guess. the guy said, after I interrupted him let him not the problem only "disappeared", his answer was ' really? OK, well, Sir, if you have problems in the future, please contact us again and just to mention the case number that gave you".

    Hey interesting? someone tell me why this happens?
