  Hello kenorbik,

   

    From your Diagnostic Report it appears that you do not have SP1 installed.  If you has SP1 installed, the line "Build lab: 6000.vista_gdr.071023-1545" would instead, say "Build lab: 6001.longhorn_rtm. <with some extra numbers at the end>.

   

    The only Activation or Validation error code I see, is the 0xc004c4a8 code that means the Vista is not activated and is outside the 30 day grace period.

   

    I looked up he Product Key and it appears to be good and should be able to be Activated over the Internet or by Phone.

   

    I have provided some steps (below) that may help, but first I wanted to address the "Not enought quota is available to process this command" error you sometimes get. This is not a Activation or Validation related error. The error appears to be related to System Memory and/or Virtual Memory. You can do a search of the internet for "Not enought quota is available to process this command" (include the " ) for additional information on that error.

   

  First I want to see if we can get your Vista Activated and if that doesn't work, we will try to regenerate some of Vista's Licensing Files and lastly, we will try to force Vista to ask for the Product Key again and the attempt to activate again. 

   

  If the first set of steps does not resolve, move on to the next set of steps.

   

   

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Set step #1

  a) If you have access to the Start button: Click the Start button, and type slui.exe 4 in the search field and then press the "Enter" key. This will bring up the Activate by Phone dialog window. Follow the steps provided by the window. The phone activation process should only take about 6 minutes.

  b) If you do not have access to the Start button: Reboot and login to Vista, a dialog window will come up. In that window, click the option "Access computer with reduced functionality". Once you do that, Internet Explorer or Firefox browser will open. In the address bar type c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe press enter, a new window will come up, type: slui 4 and hit enter and follow steps to Activate over the Phone.

  NOTE: The key to this process is that you need to talk to a Live Activation Rep! When you first call, you will be interacting with an Automated Voice, either select the option to talk to a Live Rep or if there is no option, do not enter any numbers. This should force the automated voice to transfer you to a Live Rep.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step set #2

   

  1) Open Internet Explorer

  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: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)

  6) Hit the Enter key

  7) Reboot 2 times

   

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step set #3

   

  1) Open Internet Browser

  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) Reboot Twice

  11) Vista will require you to enter a Product Key (use the COA SLP key found on the sticker on the side or bottom of your computer) and Activate. Use the Activate by Phone method outlined below

   

  Activate by Phone steps:

   

  a) If you have access to the Start button: Click the Start button, and type in "slui.exe 4" in the search field and then press the "Enter" key. This will bring up the Activate by Phone dialog window. Follow the steps provided by the window. The phone activation process should only take about 6 minutes.

  
  b) If you do not have access to the Start button: Reboot and login to Vista, a dialog window will come up. In that window, click the option "Access computer with reduced functionality". Once you do that, Internet Explorer or Firefox browser will open. In the address bar type "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" press enter, a new window will come up, type: slui 4 and hit enter and follow steps to Activate over the Phone.

  
  NOTE: The key to this process is that you need to talk to a Live Activation Rep! When you first call, you will be interacting with an Automated Voice, either select the option to talk to a Live Rep or if there is no option, do not enter any numbers. This should force the automated voice to transfer you to a Live Rep.
