    Reinstalled Win 7 From .iso - Activation Key Not Working


    My laptop was given to me a year ago from my work with an install of Win 7 x64 Ultimate. The original OS on the laptop was Vista, not sure which flavor. I'm sure that all the licensing is above board.

    Last week, the hard drive started going bad. So I purchased a new drive, and installed Win 7 Ultimate from an iso downloaded from MS (X17-59465). I installed from a usb using the Windows7-USB-DVD-tool. Everything seemed to work okay. Today I noticed that the OS is not activated. When I try to use the key that I extracted using Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder prior to taking out the old drive, I get the 0xc004e003 error code.

    Here is the MGADT report:

    Im not too good at reading diag reports but from what I see it seems legit... The error you are getting is because that Key is already in use. I would call Microsoft and talk to a live activation rep and they may be able to help you in activating it for the new HD.

    This is good advice. You have an OEM-SLP license.


    OEM:SLP
    (System Locked Pre-installation): OEM SLP keys are preinstalled by the OEM on the machine. End-users normally does not get to see the product key, unless when using
    product key viewers
    to retrieve the key manually. Data embedded in the BIOS (in SLIC table), together with the digitally signed certificate (OEM cert), is used to validate the product key. SLP keys will work with any OEM SLP system, regardless of the OEM system’s brand, i.e. not brand specific.



    But I am not sure what happened between the original Vista SLP license, the upgrade license and the embedded data in the BIOS. Only MS can unravel that.

    I think the problem here was using the key from the finder program instead of the one on the COA sticker.

    Yeah, but the COA key is probably a Vista key.

    Maybe originally but if someone put Seven on it they should have put the new COA on it.

    That is a possibility, but unlikely because it came from a company. They probably had a volume license.

    That would be a whole different legal scenario then.

    The product ID is the Dell OEM Product ID for Ultimate.

    Check underneath the laptop for a COA sticker - it looks similar to this:

    Attachment 300389

    What is printed on the COA sticker - Windows Vista or Windows 7?

    Thanks for the replies, everyone.

    The COA is for Vista, which also didn't work, as I'm trying to reinstall Win 7.

    I guess I'll try to talk to MS.
