Activator windows 7 error 0xc004f061

I have a Dell laptop that came pre-installed with Windows Vista, over time, it has been upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (having the disc & box but cannot find the product key anywhere) and then to windows 7 ultimate (downloaded and have the key).

My machine got infected with a virus, where the only option was to erase and start over.  I reinstalled Windows 7 from Home Premium disc I and selected Windows 7 ultimate, the version to install because it is what my last upgrade is.
However when I enter my Windows key I get the 0xC004F061 error code telling me that my key cannot be used to install, only for upgrades.
I tried a fix that was told to change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/0 via regedit, then slmgr-rearm for a prompt administrator, restart, and then re - enter key.
I also tried to use SLMgr commands to insert the key.
So in summary
I have Windows vista key but no disc software (pre-installed)
I have upgraded from windows 7 Home premium, but no key (lost)
I have the final key to upgrade to windows 7, but no disc software (download at any time upgrade)
Any ideas?

You cannot use Anytime Upgrade If the base license is not activated.

You will first need to make sure that the base license is enabled.

If it is a version upgrade (not anytime upgrade), you can try the following:

If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Click on drive Options

Select the disc/s click on Delete

Click new

Click on apply

Click OK

Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

Click on properties

Scroll down to the Windows Activation

Click the link x days before activation.

Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

Enter the product key

Click next

Select the Activation of the phone

Click Next when you enter your key page

Select your country

Click Next, call the number listed

Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

Click next to complete the activation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

    If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  • Activating Windows indicates that an error has occurred

    Last night I had an open window that told me there was an error activating windows and that my version of windows was not valid. When I try and open the Windows Activation it tells me an error has occurred. Code: 0 x 80070424.

  • Activation of Win. 7 home Premium Upgrade version, error 0xC004F061

    So my computer had a lot of questions, and I decided to do an installation scratch because most of my Windows features was dead; Windows repair did not work, backup was broken and updater has problems, not to mention the entire system would break several times a day. Painful stuff. I think I finally got the question down so that there is a mistake in my SSD, so I did a zeros on it, threw it and bought a new one.

    After having to reinstall it using my disc to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium x 64, I tried to activate my new installation - as would any rational user. The thing is, I get the error 0xC004F061 with the description "The Software Licensing Service determined that the specific product can be used only for the upgrade, not own facilities." until I do? This has been upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows XP more than two years ago, and I don't want to just remove, install XP and then update to Windows 7 new; This is ridiculous. I think that I could even make a reinstallation of Windows with these discs without problem before mid-term, but I don't remember exactly.

    In fact, my problem is the following:
    -My computer died and needed an installation from scratch on a brand new SSD.
    -Only a copy of Windows 7 I have is this version upgrade.
    -Windows refuses to activate my version of upgrade.
    -What to do?

    Kind regards

  • Error 0xC004E003 activating Windows 7

    My brother just bought a laptop from someone today. The current facility was completely bogged down with all its software and things. I decided to do a clean install would be faster than uninstalling and it cleaning. I gathered the information of product key for any product of MS (Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows 7 Professional). There is no COA sticker on the bottom of the laptop (it might have been for Vista since it's what was initially on this laptop from the factory). After getting the installation done, I check the properties of the system and to see that the product key is considered invalid. I try to copy and paste this time from the text file I exported and it gives me this error 0xC004E003 [Software Licensing Service reported that the license evaluation failed]. Honestly, I don't know if the product key is illegitimate. I have not encountered an error like this before (and it's quite ambiguous). I would try to activate by phone, but there is no option to do so. So far, I came across MS response items that say to open the run (Windows key + R) dialog box and put in SLUI.exe 4/slui/slui 4. It comes up with a similar dialog box (buy a new product key, type a different product key or contact Microsoft). Contact Microsoft opens the Help Center (not the phone activation window/Assistant).

    How can I get this resolved?

    your choice is:

    1. buy a true win 7 pro license and change the key. (or any edition of windows 7 and install it.)
    2. see if your recovery partition is intact. Check your documentation or your factory Web site for instructions on how to use it. You can also order your manufacturer OEM recovery disks. (this is for vista)
    The key that you shot won't do you any good because it only works with manufacturers of OEM recovery media and appropriate in your bios slic table.

  • Active window loses focus

    All past this problem recently. It began not with an upgrade of the OS, if I had just restarted the computer after having been passed away on a trip.

    The active window, I have been working in suddenly loses focus, sometimes in the middle of a Word, I care. A moment I am typing away and all goes well and the next moment every keystroke causes a "thunk" sound effect and I look for my strikes were not registered and the three tasks in the upper left corner color (buttons close, reduce and fullscreen) are grayed out. I do a mouse click in the window to make it active again, and all is well for a while until that happens some time later.

    He did had a System Tools 2011 virus that seems to have disappeared. But also, which took place on 12/24. It seemed to have disappeared, but it has problems since.

    Please see step 22 and 23 here like system tools is known for manipulating the hosts file:Remove System Tool

    Once your hosts file is OK, then strongly suggest , using Internet Explorer, you have the system scanned from here:

    NOTE: I see that you have several threads going about this infected system. The only that this system can never be approved again is at each startup of a Linux-based rescue CD or to do a clean install of Windows.

    Kaspersky offers such a rescue CD is well to clean heavily infected systems as the hard drive is not Active when the system is booted from the CD -Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10
