    Please bear with me while I set out the history of my problem.

    In March I bought a brand new computer (Intel Quad Core processor, 4MB RAM) but without an operating system so I separately bought Windows Home Premium 64 bit and installed it.

    After about a month I started getting a message about Windows not being genuine and Control Panel showed that my copy of Windows had not been activated. In Services, Software Licensing (although set to Automatic) had Stopped and I was therefore unable to validate Windows. When I tried to Start it I received an error message :

    'Windows could not start the Sotware Licensing service on Local Computer. Error 3: the system cannot find the path specified'

    At this time I lost various functionality including
    Direct access to Control Panel
    System Restore ceased to operate
    The Print Spooler in Services stopped and could not be restarted, preventing me from printing anything.

    After speaking by telephone to the technical experts at Microsoft and trying out countless things, none of which worked, I eventually decided to do a re-install of Vista and start afresh.

    As soon as Vista was installed and after making it safe to do so I went on the net and activated and then validated my copy of Windows. Both of these actions were successful. But , beginning two days ago, I have got the exact same problems - can't activate, can't validate, Software Licensing has stopped in Services, loss of functionality etc!!

    Is this going to happen every month or can anybody suggest a solution please? If you need any further info then please let know.

    Thanks for your time.

    Andrew

    PS I know that the result of the WGA Validation Tool shows that my copy of Windows is genuine but I have just a few seconds ago tried to validate it again but with the same result - it failed!

  • Hello d@mino,

     

      In your Diagnostic Report it shows the error code "Online Validation Code: 0x80070426". This means that the Software Licensing Service has stopped. Vista uses this service to check itself and confirm it is Genuine. When the service is stopped, Vista is unable to confirm it's own Genuine status and may show Genuine or Non-Genuine. The fact that the Service has stopped is also, most likely, that cause of the other issues you are seeing (such as not having access to the Control Panel)

     

      The first set of steps, are how to set the Software Licensing Service to start at each Vista Start-up.

     

    1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in:  services.msc

    2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

    3. The Services window should now open.

    4. Scroll down to Software Licensing, then right-click on it and select Properties.

    5. Under the General tab, click on the Stop button.

    6. Set the Startup Type to Automatic, then click Apply.

    7. Next, click on the Start button under Service Status.

    8. Last, restart your computer.  Control Panel should now open normally.

     

    The secound set of steps are the Manual steps to Force Start the Software Licensing Service. Once you type the net start slsvc command and hit Enter, if you receive any error, then, for some reason, Vista is not processing the command correctly and the issue is larger then just a Software Licensing problem. In which case, I would suggest contacting Vista core support at http://support.microsoft.com 
     

     

    1) Click the Start button

    2) Type: cmd in the Start Search field

    3) At the top the Start window, you will see cmd.exe

    4) Right Click cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator

    5) Type: net start slsvc

     

    Thank you,
