[QUOTE="KennyGordacki, post: 519742, member: 53506"] The issue is that I have a Toshiba Laptop manufactured in 2009? It came with windows 7.1 x64 pre installed. The operating system was keyed to the bios. Every certain number of times I dont remember the exact number but lets say every 10th time you boot your system the computer communicateds with the server in order to continue to be sure that the software is running on a system that meets their requirments. If I were to change the bios or the mother board I would be out of compliance and I would get the message that I am getting but it would say that I added too many pieces of hardware or i changed the bios or the motherboard. I did not change any parts. I have read and worked with this enough to wknow that there are a couple of possibilities that have happened associated with this issue. The error code that comes up on everything related to the problem is 0x800070005. When I attempt to reinstall the key it gives an error message which says the number above and that I need to elevate my privileges in order to re-install the key. I dont see how I can elevate my priovileges if I am already an administrator. I cannot remember for sure but in the past I believe that this computer has re read the installation key in the bios and activated the operating system again. I read somewhere else that the system monitors the hardware on the computer. If the security settings of plug and play have issues plug and play will not report to the windows validation system and it will think that a bunch of new hardware has been added to the computer or it may think that the operating system has been added to a new computer. Both issues would cause the windows not genuine issue. I called Microsoft and they referred me to Toshiba for service. Toshiba knows that it is an issue but they "need to sell me a new operating system disk to repair the issue. I know that I dont need that I can do an inplace install to get it from windows x64 7.1 to windows 64 7.1 to get it to work. I lost some data last time I did that and want to avoid doing it again.
