    I recently bought a custom pc off of ebay it is supposed to have a valid vista key.  When I try to activate it I get the error code 0xC004E003.

    I can't activate by phone as I never am given that option.

    This is from the genuine diagnostics tool.

    any help would be appreciated

    Hello stampy17,

     

      Is Vista asking you to Activate? 

       For computers, built by large manufacturers, that come with Vista pre-installed (such as yours) Vista comes self-activated from the factory.  Meaning, you should not need to Activate Vista. 

     

      If Vista is asking you to Activate, then for some reason the OEM SLP product key (currently in your copy of Vista) isn't properly self-activating Vista. to resolve that issue, you need to change the OEM SLP key for the COA SLP key found on the sticker on the side or bottom of your computer.

      To do that, Click the Start button, right-click 'Computer' select 'Properties' and then click 'Change Product Key' and then enter the COA SLP key and follow the directions. Once the key is changed, you will then need to Activate by Phone.

     

    Thank you,

    Darin MS

    Yes!

    Computers, that are built by large manufactures, that come with Vista Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:

    1) OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Vista, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the special instructions found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Vista was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Vista looks at the motherboard and sees the special instructions and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)

    2) COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations. The key must be manually activated, but you must Activate by Phone.

     

    If your computer was was hand built and the person that built it used an OEM SLP key, Vista will Not Activate. The person that built the computer should have used either a Retail or a System Builder copy of Vista.

    Thank you,

    I never was prompted to activate - If I go into system properites - it says I only have 8 days left and I need to click to activate. 

    The computer I have was a custom built PC - I was only given the one key - which must be the OEM key.  I don't have another one.    If he took this from a manufactured PC and used it on this one - would that cause this problem for me?

     

    thanks
