Error 0XC004E003 when trying to activate Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit

Question
-
I purchased a dell 1545 notebook recently which featured a t6400 64 bit processor. Unfortunately dell installed a 32 bit OS on the system. As a technician I am aware that 32 bit keys will work with 64 bit installation media so I obtained a 64 bit disc from msdn to use my oem key with and am now receiving this error and would appreciate help to troubleshoot and correct it. Velow is my diagnostic report. Thanks!

Hello surgedesign,
Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Vista Pre-Installed, come with two (2) OEM Product Keys:
A) 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) Since this key is meant to Self Activate, it can not be used to Activate thru Microsoft's activation servers (either over the Internet or by Phone)
B) 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 activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
Your Vista is using an OEM SLP key, but (for whatever reason) cannot see the special instructions in the computer’s motherboard and is unable to Self-Activate. You are getting that error, when you attempt to activate over the internet, because OEM SLP key can not be used to Activate (except for Self-Activation).
I recommend changing out the OEM SLP key for the COA SLP key. COA SLP Keys can be used to Activate thru Microsoft, but you must activate by phone.
I do want to warn you, MSDN software is seen as Retail and from my experience, I know that using any kind of OEM (including COA SLP) key in Retail software, seldom works.
I hope it works for you,
Darin MS
