Windows 7 Build 7601 Validation issues

Question
-
Hi, I have installed Windwos 7 Pro from media which appeared to come from this machine, and it looked like it had activated correctly with the COA label key on the box.
However, the message "This copy of Windows is not genuine" has appeared.
I have tried to enter the correct key but get this message:
"The product key you have entered does not appear to be a valid Windows 7 product key. Please check your product key, and type again."
Product Key checked and it is exactly as I type it.This box has been owned by us since it's purchase, and this is a genuine COA label.
The machine is a Remarketed product - does that cause an issue?

The installed Key is not the one from the COA sticker - but the one from HP's Recovery media.
Computers that come pre-installed with Windows from large manufacturers usually come with two Product Keys.
OEM SLP: This is the key that came in Windows (from the factory). It works by connecting to a BIOS flag (the SLIC table) found only on computers from that Manufacturer. It also checks for the existence of proper matching licenses in the OS itself. Once it sees both, it self-activates every time the machine is rebooted.
COA SLP: This is the key seen on the sticker located on the side, bottom or in the battery compartment of your machine. This key is for use if the OEM SLP self-activation stops working for whatever reason.
The HP SLIC table is missing - so the OEM_SLP Key cannot self-activate
You need to change the Key to the one on the COA sticker, and activate that.
What is the EXACT wording of the top two lines of the COA sticker? (do not quote the Key!)
If the error code when you enter the Key is 0xC004F050, it usually means that you've misread a character - either C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common, an O/0 is almost always a Q
Note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like the noise it makes :)

Hi Noel,
Thanks for the reply.
I have been typing in the COA key as that is the only one I know of (I see the latter part of the OEM SLP in the Diagnostic Tool info above though)
It is only when I click Validate that I get the message "The product key you have entered does not appear to be a valid Windows 7 product key. Please check your product key, and type again." And I have quadruple checked the key.EXACT wording on the COA I shall have to check tomorrow when back in work.
Had to get round the issue by putting in our VL key instead, and that worked fine. Had to do something as it was on last day to activate, but don't want to use the VL key as this rig is going to another site.Andy

Hi Noel,
Sorry for the delay in replying, busy times!
The info on the COA is:Windows(R) 7 Pro
OEM Software
[Barcode] FQC-00730
[Product Key]
[Key Barcode?]
Numerical CodeI have a photo of the COA sticker and the HP product barcode/sticker and the Remanufactured Product sticker from HP all on one shot if that would help a Microsoft person to help with this?

So far as I can tell, the Key on your sticker should work - but may require telephone activation.
telephone activation (operator calls)
Click on the Start button
in the Search box, type
SLUI 3
and hit the Enter key
follow the instructions, and opt for Telephone Activation - but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you
If the system refuses to get you that far, then try this...
Recreate the Licensing Store
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-Click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator - accept the UAC prompt
Run the following commands in the Command Prompt window, using the Enter key at the end of each
net stop sppsvc
(wait until the service has stopped before entering the following lines)
CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
REN tokens.dat tokens.bar
net start sppsvc
slui.exe
After a couple of seconds the Windows Activation dialog will appear.
You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key, or Activation may occur automatically.
If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case
Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report.
(Note: the Line 'CD %win......\SoftwareProtectionPlatform' is all on one line - it may be broken in the Forum listing)

Thanks for your reply.
I wanted to do telephone activation as normally with a few questions on a legit key they will give out a code to activate it - eg upgrade of hardware, reactivation etc.But I do not have the option in the activation box. I read about trying the SLUI command (but think maybe I tried SLUI 2?), so will check.
Most helpful is the instructions on recreating the license store, hopefully that will help me to got the telephone activation or activate automatically?
I shall try this tomorrow...
