Windows 7 not genuine error message RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi

    I have a compaq presario CQ61 which I have been using for almost four years now. Some months ago it started showing this message 'windows not genuine'. I have done basic search and all suggestions haven't worked so far. I also used the MGA diagnostic tool and the report is as seen below:

  • Not an uncommon problem, unfortunately :(

    Your problem is that for some reason, the system is unable to properly read the SLIC table in the BIOS, which is required to be able to self-activate the OEM_SLP Key with which the computer came installed.

    The normal solution is to change the Key to the one on your COA sticker - but you say that you are unable to read the Key there.

    In such circumstances, the only things you can do are

    1) recreate the Licensing Store - in case it's a minor software problem causing the misread

    2) try updating the BIOS to the latest available Win7-compliant one, from the manufacturer's website

    3) Contact the manufacturer direct, and see if they can provide assistance to correct the SLIC table

    4) a reformat and reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery media

    5) purchase a new license for Windows (or a new computer)   

     

    There *may* be an alternative solution though, if you are patient and persistent.

    Attempt Telephone Activation, and speak to an operator - they will tell you that your current Key
    is blocked (they should then ask for confirmation of your Product Key). Explain to them your problem, that you need to change the Key to the one on your sticker, but that the sticker is unreadable (could they please supply a replacement Key?). 

    Hopefully they will ask for documentary proof of the sticker, in the form of an email with a picture of the affected sticker - and you can proceed from there.

    Sometimes it takes two or three calls before you get an operator who actually knows and uses this procedure - but I know that it can and does happen.

  • The problem is that your system is unable to properly read the BIOS SLIC table that should be present in the system to be able to self-activate the OS.  

     You need to change the Product Key to the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case (or inside the battery compartment),  using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page.

    You may need to activate by phone.

  • Thanks Noel.

    The sad part of it is that my COA sticker has worn off and so can't see the product key and it is not in the battery compartment either. Tried using the magic jelly finder to locate the key but all I get is an error code during verification.

    How else can I retrieve this product key?

  • Feedback:1. I've updated the BIOS and I'm still getting the same response. 2. I don't know how to recreate the license store, would be glad if you could help with that. 3. Don't want to purchase a new license. 4. Telephone activation may not work for where I am. Can't even get a direct line to an HP office where I live.

    How do I proceed?

    Thanks for your help Noel.

  • Here's the License Store  instructions...

    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)
