Solved Windows is not Genuine

[Middlespoon]

So last night while browsing the interebz I noticed in the right bottom corner of my screen, that It said "Windows 7 Build 7601, is not Genuine." I have never received this before I have a retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I have already spoke to Microsoft and they determined my Key is legit(but were not much help from there) My machine is one that Ive built. Ive had this Key on hear for over a year. The first thing I did was go to Start>Computer>Properties> Where it should say Windows Activation code it is blank and does not have a "change" button. I went next to installed updates to remove the verification update and it says " No updates are installed on this computer." Ive tried the CMD promt "slmgr.vbs -ipk <type your product key here>" and it gave me Error 0xc004F016.

I really need some help on this one, If I have to reinstall my OS I will. I should have made an Image before now so that this wouldn't be a problem. Any help Would be nice I will Copy the data from MGADiag in after it runs. Thanks!!

Hopefully this screen shot will help as well.

 

[NoelDP]

I *really* hate that particular error - Error: 0xC004F012 - it's terribly uninformative.

Please install the WAT update Description of the update for Windows Activation Technologies and post another MGADiag report - it may tell us a little more.

( Oh - and welcome to SevenForums, by the way! )

 

[Middlespoon]

Hey thanks for the reply, I will do that when I get home and reply back.

 

[NoelDP]

Ah - if you're going to be a while, then you may want to try this as well, after installing the update.....

Please 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.
If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sitcker on eht machine's case
Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report

 

[fixachewy]

thank you VERY much. that helped me out greatly

 

[NoelDP]

It may have helped - but did it solve the problem???

 

[jumanji]

Hi NoelDP, that was a post by a first timer interrupting and not the OP.

 

[fixachewy]

yes it did solve the problem,

 

[yurkewds]

new timer here too, but just registered solely so I could say thank you, that worked perfectly for me too.

Not so often that you get such a straightforward answer that works no less!

 

[jumanji]

Hi Noel DP,
In many cases of Windows turning non-genuine all of a sudden, you have advocated recreating the licensing store first (rather than taking a short-cut of putting the COA key and activating it, which is an ultimate solution when nothing else works) - and that had worked just like these two. I feel this should be the correct approach to the problem.

(Keeping this in mind, in a concurrent thread where OP’s Royalty OEM activation turned non-genuine, I had suggested that he should first try System Restore to the point before the event occurred. Incidentally that thread has been deleted in toto for whatever reason.)

In these cases wouldn’t a system restore to a point before this event occurred restored whatever was missing or corrupted like the licencing store (except of course a corrupted SLIC in an OEM machine) and resolved the problem?
Or am I missing something?

 

[NoelDP]

System Restore may work at times - but often the problem has existed for some time before becoming apparent, and may have been apparent for months before the OP gets around to posting about it. In such cases System Restore can create more problems than it solves.

Bear in mind that the WAT update scans the machine only once every 90 days (max) and only complains when a fault is not fixable by the limited self-repair mechanisms it has.

Unless the cause of the error is obvious, it's better to rebuild the licensing store that just to do a straight Key change, as the store may be slightly corrupted and cause the new Key to fail, or allow the current Key to come 'alive' again and so avoid use of the COA Key.

I'm uncertain as to whether the Licensing store is even covered by System Restore anyhow. It's not as easy to check what is and isn't covered by SR nowadays, as it was in ME where it was a simple xml file with a few hundred entries, and I have to admit I don't even know where to start (yet!)

 

[jumanji]

That was indeed a matter of fact explanaton. Thanks , Noel , for the clarification.

 

[SparcMan]

Just registered to say thanks to NoelDP for this (working) solution. I had tried everything else including putting a new legit license key into My Computer -> Properties. I even tried installing tools which are supposed to disable this annoying prompt (which failed to do so).
This is yet further proof that DRM technology hurts legitimate users more than it does those pirating the software - they just develop and distribute cracked copies of the software. DRM technology is a futile and failed attempt to prevent an inevitable hazzard of producing digital media. For the sake of all the legitimate users out there, I wish software producers would realize that.
I'm not promoting piracy, but I am condeming DRM. If nothing else, it drives up costs of software without any real benefit. And when you raise the price of software, guess how that effects piracy.... Less people are willing or able to pay for it and the end result? Less copies sold and more people pirating.
Ok. Didn't mean to rant like that, but I had to vent a bit after being falsely accused of having a "non-genuine" Windows.

[NoelDP]

WGA has absolutely nothing to do with DRM!
They are very different processes, and totally different technologies
I'm not fond of either - but I can see no way around their existence until people voluntarily pay the originators their fair fees (i.e. never!)

 

[Gr44]

Hi Noel,

Many thanks for your post, I've spent hours trying to resolve a near identical issue and following your simple steps has resolved it !

Looks like, despite being some 3 years ago, it's still as relevent today!

Thanks

 

[tqmbill]

And here we are, 5 years on, and the problem still exists. I already had the WAP update installed, so I did the procedure detailed by NoelDP and it worked like a charm. FWIW, in my case, I think the problem may have been caused by Windows 10 trying to shove itself down my throat and failing (because I have blocked it). So thank you for your solution, NoelDP.
