I have had my Dell laptop for around 3 years now but since 2days ago, when i turned my computer on it is telling me that my product key is invalid for activation. i dont understand why this may be or how to fix it but after reading some other Q&A on here i have decided to copy and paste the diagnostics tool with hope someone can help.

Hello saimh,
It appears that Vista's Licensing Store may be corrupt or it's data is "messed up" in some way. I recommend recreating the Store using the below steps.
1) Open an Internet Browser window.
2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
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) Restart your computer twice.
12) You may be required to enter the Product Key and/or Activate. (use the product key from the sticker on the side or bottom of the PC and Activate by Phone).Thank you,
