NotGenuine

Jump To: Support > KB > Windows > NotGenuine

Windows not genuine message appears despite Windows stating it is activated

There is a Windows update that can cause this bug but it is resolved with a later update so the first thing to do is to put on all the latest Windows updates.

If this doesn't resolve the problem, the following generally will:

  • Run command prompt as administrator
  • net stop sppsvc
  • cd \ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
  • rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
  • cd \Windows\System32
  • net start sppsvc
  • slui.exe

After running the last command a Window should appear and if all has been successful it will have re-activated.
