The os windows vista (TM),Build 6000.the copy is not genuine

i used to get that also, I wrote down windows numbers from windows sticker on the side of machine, (needed magnifying glass) and went online to windows verify, after they scan it, it came out good

You will have to get the key from whoever makes the laptop, or have vista reinstalled by a tec that has a new vista disk.

Sounds like you got a dodgy copy of windows installed on your computer

only solution go out and buy a new copy of windows

however if the pc was bought from a pc retailer then you should go and see them first as its illegal to sell such software if they refuse to correct the problem make it quite clear you will be informing the local police

This is due to you have installed non licensed copy of OS. If you have product key of purchased OS, then enter the same will resolve your problem, if the genuine product key is also not accepting to register then call microsoft toll free no and they will assist you to register the same.

Thank you for using Fixya.

You need to get a genuine Product Key.

Hello , this is litle problem that happen sometime with windows activation just try to call microsoft suppot center by phone and they will activat ur key

Is this an error message? I'd say you should go see who installed the operating system on your machine. Otherwise you MUST go to microsoft and buy a new legitamate copy. All new microsoft products require registration. Running with bootleg software is not recommended

If the laptop was bought as new, the message can be a bogus , coming from some kind of virus. It is rare that a seller distibute a laptop with non genuine software.

To know if you own a windows valid licence check if there is Windows licence sticker on the bottom side of the laptop.
If you have no sticker with Vista serial, like this one (they are for XP yours must be for Vista):



Then installed Windows is probably a pirate copy.



The fact that the problem has gone undetected for some times may be normal, as Microsoft controls genuinity only when you do certain updates.
