  cannot activate windows vista ultimate 64-bit it says error code: 0xc004E003

  Hi Jarska,

  ·        You did changes to the computer recently before the issue started?

  ·        If your computer came pre-installed with Windows Vista, or you don't have it installed separately?

  You receive this error 0xC004E003 when the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed on your computer. You can access the link below and follow the steps in method C and check if that helps you solve the problem of activation. If the C method does not work, you can follow the steps in method G and try activation using the automated phone system.
