Missing WPA Key

Question

Hello, I bought a new Dell Laptop about 6 months ago. Windows Vista Home Basic was working fine until now. It now says to enter activation key or buy a new one. Looking at the CD Cover for my Vista software from Dell, it says the product key is located on the bottom or side of the laptop. It is not there and there is no residue or any indication that the product key was ever there.

Hello ONEOFHIS,

It appears that Vista's Licensing Store may be having a problem of some kind. Please try the below steps ot recreate the Store.

1) Open an Internet Browser window.
2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
8) Type: cd %windir%\system32
9) Type: net start slsvc
10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)
11) Restart your computer twice.
12) You may be required to enter the Product Key and/or Activate. (be sure to use the Product key from the sticker on the side or bottom of the PC and to Activate by Phone).

Thank you,
Darin MS

Thanks Darin,

My only concern is your point #12, because the product key was not in the expected location ( bottom or side of laptop ). Is there any way to recover the Product Key from the software or another way?

Hi ONEOFHIS,

The problem is that Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Windows Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:

A) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the special instructions found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Vista looks at the motherboard and sees the special instructions and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)

B) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations (sush as if the OEM SLP key stops self-activating for whatever reason). The key must be activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

The steps I provided kind of hit two birds with one stone. The steps, first, reset the Licensing Store but it also has you change over to the COA SLP key so if the problem was caused by either the Licensing Store or by a problem with the OEM SLP key, those steps would resolve it.

There is a program out on the internet (called magic jellybean) that can tell the full Product key currently being used in your Windows. (due to policy, I can't link to or promote the use of non-Microsoft tools, of this kind, but other non-microsoft forum members have posted about and linked to it in the past).

The problem with this tool is that it can only show you the key currently being used. In your case, that would be the OEM SLP key. Now if your issue was solely caused by a bad Licensing Store, then re-entering the OEM SLP key in step #12 would be ok, but if the issue is being caused by a problem with the OEM SLP key then re-entering it would just reintroduce the problem again.

All computers that come with Windows pre-installed and use the OEM SLP key system are required to have the COA SLP key listed on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker affixed to the PC. If you have lost the COA Sticker and you need the COA SLP key, I can only direct you to the support doc KB811224 "How to identify, locate, and replace a product key" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811224

Thank you,

Darin MS

Thanks for all your help Darrin. After all this trouble, I found the missing COA, which is now located on all Dell laptops inside the battery compartment.

Thanks again
