Vista WGA 0xC004E002 error

Question
-
I recently re-installed Vista. It was working fine, but now I get an error. I tried system restore, no luck.
Here is the error message when I log in:
--------------------------
An error has occurred
Code:
0xC004E002
Description:
The Software Licensing Service reported that the license store contains inconsistent data.
--------------------------
Clicking Close logs me off.
I can get explorer running by opening the help link, getting the browser open, then starting explorer from the Open dialog.
If I go to System Properies (Control Panel doesn't open, neither does properties for My Computer, but if I open My Computer
I can click Uninstall a Program to get in the Control Panel, then switch to System) it says
Product ID: 89584-354-8554866-71153
Clicking "Change product key" or "Click here to activate Windows now" prompt for UAC then do nothing.
Running SLUI does nothing. (I suspect that this is because the "Error has occurred" dialog is SLUI already running)
This is what MgaDiag says:

Spsys.log Content: 0x80070002
-------------------------------------------------------------I notice that the Product ID is different, but I'm not sure it's important. Also, the "Online Validation Code" said
"0xC004E002" once before, but not now.
Slmgr.vbs with any parameters says this:
"C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs(292, 9) (null): 0xC004E002"
This is a real copy of Windows and it's not pirated.
What can I do to make WGA realize this, and what's causing this in the first place?
Is there any way to rebuilt this "license store" or anything?
I do not want to re-install again...

Actually, I fixed it already.
I did this:
"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) Reboot Twice"
And then it let me activate.
If anyone cares, I checked the Product ID in System Properties and MgaDiag, it's still different.
