  What you didn't mention is that you've also seemingly changed the motherboard!

  The installed board looks to me like a Retail one, rather than an OEM one, and swapping out the motherboard outside warranty conditions invalidates teh OEM_SLP License (and possibly also the COA_SLP License)

  That said,  Please first try recreating Licensing Store.

   

  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 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

  Thanks for the reply.  I'll do that when I get home tonight.

  It's not a new motherboard.  I'm curious why you say so.  I assume it's something in the diag file that indicates it's a retail mobo.  This was purely a BIOS update as I attempted to get the motherboard to use the new video card.  As memory serves I think I put in a new power supply as well because the video card needed more power and I had one from a previous machine upgrade.  But no new motherboard in this machine.  There was a time I would have maybe done so for a full on upgrade, but those days have passed.  I don't have that kind of time anymore.

  thanks, c

  From the BIOS, the date is <Date>20120611000000.000000+000</Date> - which is the BIOS's version date.

  This means either it's a board manufactured after that date, or the BIOS has been updated since.

  The motherboard detail is <Manufacturer>MSI</Manufacturer><Model>MS-7678</Model></SYSTEM> - which as far as I could tell from googling, as retail board code, rather than an OEM system code.

  The Key is from an OEM installation of Windows 7 - such Keys are not valid on retail motherboards, and it seems that your BIOS update wiped the SLIC table that should be present (assuming your machine was purchased with Windows pre-installed)to allow self-activation of the Key.

  The solution is simple - change the Key to the one on your COA sticker, and activate that (which is actually part of the procedure above, anyhow).

  It failed when trying to validate the COA product key from the side of the box.  It gave me the Invalid Product Key window with the following:

  Code: 0xC004F050

  Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid.

  Thanks for your help on this.  Pretty frustrating.  Guess I shouldn't buy low end clone machines. 

  Does this mean they COA sticker on this box is bogus?  Did ZT rip off Microsoft and me?

  Perhaps I'm at the stage where I try to get the old BIOS loaded back on here.  Can they somehow give me a patch that will allow the SLP activation to work with the new BIOS?  I assume not given that I imagine if it isn't in the BIOS it just doesn't work.

  As I said, thanks for the help.  c

  Code: 0xC004F050

  this usually indicates a mistake in entering the product key.

  use a good light and a strong magnifier to read the key

  easily confused, B and 8,6 and G, C and G

  characters not used

  E,U,I,O,A,S,L,Z,N, and 1,0

  i've tried it again with a flashlight and a brand new glasses prescription.  i'm sure the code i put in is the one on the sticker.  it reported the same error code, that it's not valid. 

  anyone have any other ideas?

  thanks, c

  The only other thing I can suggest is that you call your local MS Activation Center, and discuss the problem of the Key with them - they may be able to help.

  Thanks very much Noel.  I'll try that and hope for the best.  I thought of just paving the machine and installing a full copy of win 8, but I don't think I'll go that way now.  I've tried win 8 and love it, but it really shines best with a touch screen, and I don't want my daughter, this is her machine, to have to learn a new OS in the midst of a stressful school year.  worst comes to worst i'll buy a copy of win 7 or an activation code and just chalk it up to why i'll not by another clone computer again.  thanks ZT Systems.

  I can relate to that - I've avoided putting Win8 on my main system because of the learning curve for the last 3 months or so - I will have to get to it by Christmas!!
