Hi,
I recently reinstalled my copy of Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 on my Acer Aspire 4730Z laptop. I entered the key during installation, and when I tried to activate it, I got the following error:
Error Code 0xC004E003
The software licensing service reported that license evaluation failed.
I Googled the error which led me to this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931276
I followed the steps to no avail.
Nowhere does it give me the option to activate over the phone. I even uninstalled the key and forced limited functionality mode, and all it gives me is a window that says "The Windows Vista(tm) Home premium Product key you entered is invalid for activation"
and three choices:
"Buy a new product key online."
"Type a different product key." (Tried this multiple times. Same result - it'll still try to activate over the web even when I disable all internet connections!)
"Contact Microsoft to help Resolve this problem."
None of which are useful. I browsed these forums a bit and came across the MGA tool, whose results I've pasted below. Any help? This is driving me INSANE!!!!
