    Hi, i've been using vista now for a fair few months after I got it free from my university - The University of Southampton, as part of its MSDN-e-academy setup. After installing the most recent update yesterday (Which I will also note at no point prompted me as to whether I wanted to install it - unlike all other updates I have ever received and have set my windows update to do so, but anyway) my pc now claims to not be using a genuine copy of windows. I received this product for free from a microsoft controlled environment due to an EXTREMELY expensive license my university pay for! And I fully expected to be able to use my legal product - especially with my degree level exams in less than 4days. My results from the tool are as follows:

     

    EDIT - BTW my error code appears to be 0xC004C4A8

    Could the problem be what's described in this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/genuine/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1170769&SiteID=25  ?

    If not, please try phone activating and speak with a customer service representative when you're given the option. You can get started with phone activation by typing "slui.exe 4" in the search field in the Start Menu and pressing Enter.  Once you've phone activated successfully, click "Validate Windows" here: www.microsoft.com/genuine 

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, phone activation is the only next step.  The process should take no more than 10 minutes.

    Hi, i'm still having this problem. I have the Sil 3132 64bit Soft raid 5 controller, and have installed updates as you say but still failed activation. Claiming I am also activated on some other random computer (Presumably the one it detects without the raid?)

    Have you tried phone activation?  Can you tell me what happened when you did?  What error code do you get when you're told that you are also activated on some other computer?

     

    Thanks!

    I haven't had time with exams, nor do I have access to a payed phone where I can try the phone activation method. Are there any email alternatives?

     

     

    'BTW my error code appears to be 0xC004C4A8' <---- thats the error code I posted previously, which is still the same code I am getting now.

     

    Thanks for your help.
