    I'm having a problem validating Vista. I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I received a message that my version of Vista could be pirated. When trying to go to Computer properties to try to validate Vista it does not open up. Attempting to access Control Panel yields same result. I've tried restarting the Software Licensing Service and get the following error:

    C:\>net start slsvc  
    The Software Licensing service is starting.  
    The Software Licensing service could not be started.  
     
    A system error has occured.  
     
    System error 5 has occured.  
     
    Access denied.  
     
    C:\> 

    I bought Vista June of last year (2007) and it has been working fine since then. Is there a way to remedy this without having to reinstall Vista?

    The http://www.microsoft.com/genuine website gives me the error code [0x80070426]

    Thanks,

    Hello Arctic Kodiak,

    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, the cause of  other issues you may be experiencing (such as not having access to the Control Panel).

     

      Please try the first set of steps and if it does not resolve the issue, move on to the next set.

     

      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, under Service Status, click on the Start button.

    8. Last, restart your computer.   

     

      The second 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 than just a Software Licensing problem. In which case, I would suggest contacting Vista support at http://support.microsoft.com
     

     If you have access to the Start button:

    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

     

    If you do not have access to the Start button:

    1) Click the option that launches an Internet Browser

    2) A Browser will open, type: %windir%\system32 into the address field

    3) Find the file cmd.exe

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

    5) Type: net start slsvc
