I was having problems with installing a program, getting Error Code 0x8007000D and 'invalid data' error and while troubleshooting tried to resolve by recreating (and repopulating) it's Licensing Store using the steps below. On running
the step#9 I get a message popup telling me that Window must be reinstalled. Then a I noticed a message in the bottom right stating 'windows is not genuine
'.
It was fine showing as activated and genuine prior to all these steps. Is there any way to fix this without reinstalling?
- 1) Click Start button.
2) Type: CMD.exe into the 'Search programs and files' field
3) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
4) Type: net stop sppsvc (It may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
Note: the Software Protection servive may not be running, this is ok.
5) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
7) Type: cd %windir%\system32
8) Type: net start sppsvc
9) Type: slui.exe
10) 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.
***UPDATE: I run Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) and it is reporting corrupted files:
