I installed an OEM copy of Vista on a friend's machine (different OEM) after identifying that the HDD was damaged in several sectors. (I re-used the HDD after playing around to ensure all damage was in unused partitions - economy plus I hoped to reduce
subsequent activation problems.) I was not over surprised to find online activation failed, but surprised to find that I was offered no "phone home" option, only a help page. I ran slui.exe 4 which simply brought up the same scenario
I have spent a fair bit of frustration trying to sort this out, including something I found in another thread:
1) Open an Internet Browser window.
2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
8) Type: cd %windir%\system32
9) Type: net start slsvc
10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)
11) Restart your computer twice.
12) You may be required to enter the Product Key and/or Activate.
