Last night after some modem problems which may be coincidental Windows 7 PRO (OEM) suddenly de-activated. It now will not re-activate either by the normal method or by telephone. No hardware has been changed and to my knowledge no new software was installed although some of course may have been updated. I was simply attempting to browse the web. It came with a new build and has been fine since November 2011. Checking the error logs I find these related messages.

Code:
Genuine state set to non-genuine (0x00000000) for application Id 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f

Code:
Acquisition of genuine ticket failed (hr=0xC004C4A2) for template Id 66c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f

I ran the MGADiag tool and it produced this.

Code:

Hi Neil,

Can you add the code into a more easily read format by editing the post and surrounding it with the CODE tags like this please?

Code:
 This makes everything read much easier

OK, I'll try but the MGA report doesn't seem to format properly. Sorry but I will admit I'm panicking a bit.

Hi,

Probably best to re-run MGADIAG, then use the copy button (ignore any errors if they pop-up) then use CTRL-V to paste in next reply?

What error did you get when you tried to validate? Did you use the 25 character code on the COA sticker attached to the computer?

regards,
Golden

It said the key was invalid for activation BUT an error message also popped up and vanished so quickly I wasn't able to read it which was odd. Should the resolve button on the MGA tool be greyed out?

odds and sods already trimmed out for you.
AS far as I can see the report indicates a genuine but unactivated installation.

Having said that, the error from cod-block 2 indicates a Blocked Key.
hr=0xC004C4A2

From where did this license originate?

The Key is an COA_SLP Key, which means it MUST have been pre-installed on the machine at purchase to be legal.

You two are quick! :)

I would suggest using telephone activation and speaking to an operator....

telephone activation (operator calls)
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

I tried speaking to an operator and it didn't help. They went through the same procedure. I'm running a SFC /SCANNOW from an Administrator Command prompt to check for any file corruption.

Hi,

Can you run sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt, then report back what it finds?

Regards,
Golden

EDIT ^ I see you are just trying that - I wonder if the store is bust?

OK it's running. Elevated is the same as Administrator I presume? Right click and run as admin etc. One other thing that may not be related is that it removed my desktop wallpaper theme at the same time but I suppose that may just be so the message in the lower right corner shows up clearly.

It's an OEM Licence bought with new hardware. It certainly appears genuine. All holograms on the disk and the sticker appears correct.

This is a genuine copy of Windows complete with all the hologram markings bought with new hardware and was fine up until last night.

Neil,

You mentioned the disk, but the PC must have come with Windows pre-installed. Was that the case?

Regards,
Golden
