Windows 7: Windows 'not genuine'

koberulz · 18 Jan 2012

My brother's laptop has the following text in the bottom right corner:
Windows 7
Evaluation copy. Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine

It also pops up a message when logging in about going online to activate, or something.

It's Windows 7 32 bit SP1, upgraded to Ultimate from Home Premium. The laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. It's worked fine for months, if not years.

Hi koberulz, Welcome to the forums Have a look here see if this solves your problem Genuine Windows 7 Became Pirated? Make It Original and Activated Again - Tweaking with Vishal also have you had any windows updates lately to cause this ,you may ,if you have no success with these methods try a system restore prior to when this happened

koberulz · 18 Jan 2012

Plug and Play was already set to Not Defined, and NETWORK SERVICE already has Full Control set to Allow.

NoelDP · 18 Jan 2012

try recreating the Licensing store....Recreate the Licensing Store
1) Click Start button.
2) Type: CMD.exe into the 'Search programs and files' field
3) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select Run as Administrator
4) Type: net stop sppsvc (It may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
Note: the Software Protection service may not be running, this is ok.
5) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
7) Type: cd %windir%\system32
8) Type: net start sppsvc
9) Type: slui.exe
10) After a couple of seconds Windows Activation dialog will appear. You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key or Activation may occur automatically.

Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report

koberulz · 18 Jan 2012

I tried that before, and all that popped up at the end was the 'this copy of windows is not genuine' message, with an option to go online and rectify the issue and nothing else.

NoelDP · 19 Jan 2012

Ah - found the proble - You have the Release candidate of SP1 installed, rather than the final version.
You need to UNinstall SP1 and then reinstall with the latest version from WIndows Updates.

No dice. The text in the bottom right changed to 'Build 7600' when I uninstalled SP1, then back to 'Build 7601' when I reinstalled, but other than that it's not made a difference.

NoelDP · 19 Jan 2012

Please post a new MGADiag report - it *will* show some interesting differences.

OK - we've now got rid of the prime cause of your problem, so hopefully running the License Store fix will work this time - you should change line 6 to read
6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar2
to avoid a file-duplication error.

If it still fails, all I can suggest is that you try telephone activation, and speak to an operator, as it may be that repeated attempts to activate have triggered anti-counterfeiting measures in the activation servers.

telephone activation.
Click on the Start button
in the Search box, type
SLUI 4
and hit the Enter key
follow the instructions - but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you.
