Windows 7 Build 7601 Windows is not genuine

You need to change the Key to the one on your COA sticker on the case - NOT one found using a KeyFinder.

If you got teh error message after entering the COA Key - read this

0xC004F050 usually means that you've misread a character - either C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common.

Note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like the noise it makes :)
an O/0 is almost always a Q

This is typically an issue when you have pirated a copy of Windows.

In the off chance that you haven't pirated Windows, it may be as simple as following the prompts in the Windows activation process to get a phone code and renew your Windows license manually.

Rubbish, I'm afraid.

1) there are thousands of reasons why a machine may show as being non-genuine - only a few of which involved pirated software.
2) the current Key can never be activated by teh MS servers or by phone.
3) all the data in the report indicated that the installation is genuine - but that t SLIC table is missing,which may be for a number of reasons, such as

• updating the BIOS with a version not designed for Widnows 7
• something blocking the OS's ability to read the BIOS SLIC table, which is required to be able to self-activate the OEM_SLP Key in current use
• The machine may have been repaired by the manufacturer and the motherboard replaced with a non-flashed BIOS

etc., etc.

Please follow the instructions in my earlier post - #4 in the thread

see below

....sorry about that. :)
what I *meant* to say was
You have a problem! - I suggest trying a bright light and a magnifier.


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 Win7-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)


There is also a further possibility.... (before you get stuck with either #4 or 5)


There *may* be an alternative solution though, if you are patient and persistent.
Attempt Telephone Activation, and speak to an operator - they will tell you that your current Key is blocked (they should then ask for confirmation of your Product Key). Explain to them your problem, that you need to change the Key to the one on your sticker, but that the sticker is unreadable (could they please supply a replacement Key?). Hopefully they will ask for documentary proof of the sticker, in the form of an email with a picture of the affected sticker - and you can proceed from there.
Sometimes it takes two or three calls before you get an operator who actually knows and uses this procedure - but I know that it can and does happen.

I'm getting the windows is not genuine problem as well..tried many of the "solved" methods, but when I did did the slmgr upk & ipk.
the code said it was successfully installed... but i'm still getting the windows is not genuine watermark.. not sure what i should do. Heres a report:

According to System properties it is a eMachines computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit.. but the sticker on the back says Windows Vista OEMAct

The installation is counterfeit
You are attempting to use an OEM_SLP Key on a machine that was built a year before such Keys became valid.
The SLIC table associated has been simulated by a hacker's Activation Exploit.
For what version and edition of Windows is your computer licensed, according to the COA sticker on the case? (probablu Vista Home Basic?)
