Windows 7 not genuine when it is RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi, I know that I am having the same problem as all the other people concerning genuine windows 7 being miscalled "not genuine". But as I am a bit of a novice with computer issues, following the myriad of conversations about assessing the issues and possible solutions is a bit of a struggle. Any help that can be offered, along with needing me to do anything (instructions please!) to provide further information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • That sounds like a different problem altogether - and I'm not sure what is likely to be causing it.

    try this way of getting to it instead.

    Click on Start

    Click on All Programs

    Click on Accessories

    look for the Command Prompt entry, and right-click on it - select 'Run as Administrator' from there.

    (and I just noticed that I posted the Vista instructions anyhow - so follow on with this set rather than the ones in the post  above (which I'll edit in a minute)

    accept the UAC prompt

    Run the following commands in the Command Prompt window, using the Enter key at the end of each

     

    net stop sppsvc

    (wait until the service has stopped before entering the following lines)

     

    CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    REN tokens.dat tokens.bar

    net start sppsvc

    slui.exe

     

    After a couple of seconds the Windows Activation dialog will appear.

    You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key, or Activation may occur automatically.

    If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case

     

    Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report.

  • Which OS originally came with this PC?  Your key code needs to match the one on your COA sticker, and the OS must match what is listed on that sticker.  It looks like this PC originally came with Windows Vista.

  • It's a refurbished laptop bought from PC World about 4 years ago so I don't know what was originally set up or how much it was altered, but the sticker on the top (by the keys) says Windows 7 and the key code sticker is frustratingly faded and rubbed away so much that I can best guess about a third of the code. It was working fine the whole time I've owned it until today when the infamous 'not genuine' and black screen routine kicked in.

  • Is the part that talks about an invalid SLIC table anything to do with it possibly?
    Tuesday, October 22, 2013 4:40 PM
  • Yes, the SLIC Table is what the OEM SLP version uses to self activate.  When the table in the BIOS does not match what is expected, then there is a problem.  An OEM SLP version is installed by the original manufacturer.  However, the HP SLIC-MPC I believe originally shipped with Vista.

  • Your problem is that for some reason, the system is unable to properly read the SLIC table in the BIOS, which is required to be able to self-activate the OEM_SLP Key with which the computer came installed.

     

    The normal solution is to change the Key to the one on your COA sticker - but you say that you are unable to read the Key there.

     

    In such circumstances, the only things you can do are

     

    1) recreate the Licensing Store - in case it's a minor software problem causing the misread

    2) try updating the BIOS to the latest available Vista-compliant one, from the manufacturer's website

    3) Contact the manufacturer direct, and see if they can provide assistance to correct the SLIC table

    4) a reformat and reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery media

    5) purchase a new license for Windows (or a new computer)   

    Please first try recreating Licensing Store.

     

    Recreate the Licensing Store

    Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-Click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator - accept the UAC prompt

    Run the following commands in the Command Prompt window, using the Enter key at the end of each

     

    net stop sppsvc

    (wait until the service has stopped before entering the following lines)

     

    CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    REN tokens.dat tokens.bar

    net start sppsvc

    slui.exe

     

    After a couple of seconds the Windows Activation dialog will appear.

    You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key, or Activation may occur automatically.

    If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case

     

    Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report.

  • Hi again, I'd started to follow the instructions to recreate the licensing store, and ran into a problem pretty fast. Where is says to right click on the cmd.exe file, I didn't find the option to run as administrator but instead was given 'link' options - open link, save link etc. Had a look via google to see if there was a solution to this but nothing sprang up that was clearly fixing that problem. Have I missed something/ don't know that one of those options will lead to administrator options?

    Does it sound like I won't be able to fix this without calling microsoft support? I'm loathed to give up this early but am clearly a computer novice!
