    Hello,

    Vista is stating that my product key is invalid, but I am getting the key off the bottom of the notebook. When I type in the product key, I get a 0xC004E003 error. I followed the link here and here is the diag tool information:

    Hi agent23598,

      From your Diagnostic Report, it appears that Vista did accept the key from the COA sticker. You can see this my the line "Windows License Type: COA SLP" (COA SLP is wnat the key on the sticker is called) and all that needs to be done is to Activate Vista using that key.

    To activate Vista using a COA SLP key, you normally need to Activate by Phone. To do that, follow the steps below


    a)    If you have access to the Start button: Click the Start button, and type slui.exe 4 in the search field and then press the "Enter" key. This will bring up the Activate by Phone dialog window. Follow the steps provided by the window. The phone activation process should only take about 6 minutes.

     

    b)    If you do not have access to the Start button: Reboot and login to Vista, a dialog window will come up. In that window, click the option "Access computer with reduced functionality". Once you do that, Internet Explorer or Firefox browser will open. In the address bar type c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe press enter, a new window will come up, type: slui 4 and hit enter and follow steps to Activate over the Phone.

    NOTE: The important thing to this process is that you need to talk to a Live Activation Rep! When you first call, you will be interacting with an Automated Voice, either select the option to talk to a Live Rep or if there is no option, do not enter any numbers. This should force the automated voice to transfer you to a Live Rep.


    Thank you,
    Darin MS

    Darin,

    I attempted this and the information that I got from the activation rep mathced what I put into the system and it still will not activate correctly. The rep stated that I contact tech support, but I am working on this machine for someone as an agent for a computer repair store and I am not authorized to charge the $59 to the client for their services. Is there another option?

    Hi Agent23598,

      Usually Activation issues are treated as a Install problem which would be supported at no cost. 

      I suggest calling (800) 936-5800. You should be able to reach a live support Customer Service Rep without first paying.  Explain the issue "You are using the CoA Key and you can not Activate. The Activation Rep says the key is Valid [right?] and that it's a Vista support issue"  you then ask if Activation issues are treated as Install issues. If so, he should connect you to a Vista Tech at no charge.

      Or you can call back the Activation Call Center and request a Manager. They really should connect you to support directly, not tell you to call yourself.

    Thanks,
    Darin MS
