Windows activation error. Code: 0xC004E002 RRS feed

  • Question

  • Before I went to sleep last night i turned my computer automatically off after the automatic update was finished. Today when I tried to use my computer it had to restart itself 4 times before it got to the login page. When I tried to log in I got a error message that said I had a problem with windows activation or something. There is a code for the error: Code: 0xC004E002

    Hope someone knows what the problem could be. thanks

    From Kensis.

  • Hi Kensis,

      Looks like Vista's Licensing Store may be corrupt or unreadable. Try the below steps to recreate the Store.

    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.

    Thank you,
