Windows 7 Build 7601 message

AMidnightSoul · Feb 7, 2014

Hi all,

I've had my computer up and running for a long time with no issues. This morning I turn the laptop on and in the lower lefthand message, the Windows 7 Build 7601, This copy of Windows is not genuine has appeared. I had this message on an older laptop a few years back and I think I had to replace a vss file and that fixed it, but I can't remember for sure. I do not have a COA on my laptop. Our company purchases from Lenovo and asks them to downgrade from Win8 to Windows 7. My laptop shipped with Windows 7 Pro 64bit but has a Win8 sticker on it (no COA).

Nothing was done this morning when I booted my machine up. Yesterday, I installed iTunes but didn't open it after the install. I believe there might have been a SEP update yesterday, but I didn't notice the message until this morning. Here's my MGADiag results:

Is there any way you can copy and post the event viewer logs so we can see exactly what type of errors(if any) that show in there.

Which ones would you want? Under Windows Logs, I have 15,862 System logs. I have a recent that says "
The Windows Activation Technologies Service service entered the running state." & then "
The Windows Activation Technologies Service service entered the stopped state." There's also an error from about an hour ago "
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the DisplayLinkService service." There's also a DNS error from about 2 hours ago "
Name resolution for the name teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded." Most all of the entries are informational entries.

This error usually indicates that the SLIC information isn't being read correctly. How was this installation originally activated?

NoelDP · Feb 8, 2014

Your SLIC table is showing as damaged...

Code:

OEM Activation 2.0 Data-->
BIOS valid for OA 2.0: no, invalid SLIC table
Windows marker version: N/A

The normal solution is to change the Key to the one on your COA sticker - but Win 8 machines downgraded to Win7 don't have COA stickers.

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 (or the machine)
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, then the problem still exists, and you'll have to try refreshing the BIOS.

Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report.

(Note: the Line 'CD %win......\SoftwareProtectionPlatform' is all on one line - it may be broken in the Forum listing)

AMidnightSoul · Feb 8, 2014

Thanks all. I tried recreating the Licensing store and when I went to re-activate it, it told me the Win7 Pro product key is invalid for activation and asked for a new one. I've sent our procurement team an email asking for a Product Key to use. Hopefully they can give me one that will work. I probably won't hear from them until Monday though.

I contacted Lenovo and they told me there's nothing to do except format and then reinstall. They're sending recovery disks because the recovery partition doesn't work.

I'd really like to avoid reinstalling everything, so in the mean time, I'll update the BIOS and the post a new MGAdiag.

AMidnightSoul · Feb 8, 2014

Oh, it activated automatically when it shipped and then I formatted and reinstalled everything about 6 months ago and it activated automatically again.

NoelDP · Feb 8, 2014

The current BIOS is dated Sept 2013 - which means that it's been installed since then (however old the computer itself is). It's not exactly common, but a BIOS update can cause this type of problem, as well as cure it - see if reverting to an older version works, if there's one available. BUT be very careful about it, as BIOS changes can totally brick a machine!

AMidnightSoul · Feb 8, 2014

ETA: Actually, I just remembered Lenovo replaced my motherboard last month because it failed! Maybe Windows just now did a check and that's what did it. I tried an older BIOS from Lenovo's site, and even though it said it was for my system, it wouldn't run (thank goodness it didn't run if it wasn't compatible). I guess I'll wait to hear from procurement on Monday on if they can get me a license key before I reinstall everything.

I'm a little concerned if its because I have a new motherboard and I reinstall everything with the recovery disks that I'll still get the error message the next time the system checks in with Microsoft.

NoelDP · Feb 9, 2014

That sounds as if it could be the cause.
If your company has a Volume License, you could use that - providing it's an MAK type.
However, it is definitely Lenovo's problem, rather than a software one, in my opinion.

AMidnightSoul · Feb 10, 2014

Thanks for the help everyone. Lenovo was no help other than a format & reinstall option. I mentioned I was worried the issue could come back since the laptop has a new motherboard, but they acted like that shouldn't have caused it. I did get a product key from the proper department and it worked. They were a little disgruntled that we had to waste a product key for this, as was I, but it worked. They did let me know that the all the laptops should ship with a Win7 COA license, so looks like Lenovo dropped the ball on this laptop.

Thanks for the help.

NoelDP · Feb 10, 2014

Please post a new MGADiag log - we can then see what they've actually done.

NoelDP · Feb 10, 2014

NO laptop shipped with Windows 8 and a downgrade option ships with any kind of COA license - as Lenovo should be well aware.
The whole idea is to do away with such activation vulnerabilities (e.g. theft/counterfeiting) wherever possible. forcing activation through the OEM_SLP is the selected method - and most of the time it works well.

Interesting - they've given you an MAK Key!
This is a Volume License Key, and as far as I am aware, it's not actually legal to use it under these circumstances - but that's between MS and Lenovo, unless the Key gets out into the open in which case there will be a flood of complaints!
Be aware that it's likely that you will not be able to use this Key for any future reinstalls - and you'll have to go through the same rigmarole again.

I am very surprised that they didn't securely wipe the Key before letting you loose with the activated machine.

AMidnightSoul · Feb 11, 2014

Thanks for the help. I'm just happy to be up and running. I did notice the Diag still says Invalid SLIC table, so maybe it was just a band aid, but the annoying 'not geniune' popup is gone, so I'm happy unless the issue comes back. Hopefully, I won't need to format and reinstall my OS before the end of my laptops life. I couldn't find an older BIOS that worked on my machine from Lenovo's support site, so I just applied a new one.

NoelDP · Feb 11, 2014

Until you do a reformat/reinstall it will always show as invalid (unless you get very lucky! ).
Even then the chances are that you'll have to beg a new key :-(
It's not so much a bandaid as a change of tack.
