Activation of Vista 0xC004E002 error

Hello

I was with my old Dell 3 year (with vista preinstalled and active windows) as usual Tuesday with nothing weird or different etc. Wednesday, I turn and getting the above error code and a consistent message at the bottom right of my screen saying: "this copy of windows is not genuine".

I tried to reactivate the code but it won't let me. Please please help.

Thank you

Sue

  • Activating Windows Vista 0xC004E003 error.

    Original title: Activation of Windows Vista

    When I try to activate my Windows Vista and put my PC it gives an error number: 0xc004e003.
    Can anyone help?
    Sorry for the bad English...

    If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Problem of Activation of Vista, error msg: you need to activate this version of Windows.

    Original title: Activation of Vista problem...

    I have a version legally obtained from Microsoft Vista that I've been running on my laptop. Recently I had a few problems with the battery and have decided to withdraw from the laptop before complete failure and virtualize on another machine. While I've been running the virtual machine for some time without problem, I recently ran in the form of horse "activate this version of Windows. My attempts to authenticate my version of Vista were not successful and clicking on the 'buy a new online product key' send me a useless part of Windows 8 to the Microsoft site. Interestingly, I was able to authenticate my copy of Microsoft Office on the virtual machine.

    I have IMPOSSIBLE upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, and must be able to continue to run Vista (or XP/ME/98) with some mission critical internal software. I'm happy to buy another license for Vista, however, it seems impossible. Without the ability to replace the laptop battery, upgraded the laptop or upgrade of the software to work with Windows 7/8, I have to find a way to authenticate this license of Vista in the virtual environment.
    Please, Please help. I don't want to have an "unauthorized" copying of Windows on my machine.
    Kind regards
    Matthew.
    P.S. I already have a copy of Windows 7 running and a large part of mission critical functionality is broken under this version of Windows.

    Thanks Noel.

    I did a little more digging into the problem following your advice and that of the original notebook computer manufacturer. It seems that the copy of Vista that I was sold with the laptop is an edition OEM who cannot be virtualized in this way, and therefore the problem with activation.
    So it seems that I have two choices, (1) try and find a replacement laptop that comes with Vista (unlikely) or (2) buy another copy of Vista (full version this time) through Microsoft (if possible).
    The only other option after that must pay my original developers an extreme amount for re - write the software for a Mac/PC/Tablet platform to date. I know that I'll need to do afterwards, because of the nature of something to do with computers (i.e. nothing left hard or constant for decades), but as with any business, I can't keep bleeding of money on perpetual upgrades. This is especially true when the only reason for the upgrade seems to be that the software is ' is no longer supported "rather than because it no longer meets our needs.
    Once again, many Christmas thanks for your help anyway. Do you by chance know if there is a way to buy a new key license through Microsoft?
    Kind regards
    Matthew.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    Code: 0xC004E003
    Description:
    The Software Licensing Service reported that the license evaluation failed"

    I'm reinstalling mutiple viral infections.

    I tried all the articles pertaining to this error and they all point ot telephone activation but I am never presented with this option.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The macaron is Home Premium, you can not read the key from the sticker, I called Dell they had me to download a program that I ran and it displays the key but would not offer any other medium after that unless I paid for it.

    I'm tired of dead-ends with Dell support and microsoft, so I've upgraded to Vista business in which I have a VLK for and everthing works.

    After talking to my daughter more in detail, Dell had its update of the bios that now more logical as to why it would not activate but because the computer is no longer under warranty they help also.

    anyway thanks for the help guys.
