Vista Windows Activation Error, Error Code 0x80070426
either after a failed update or bit defender update, a customers computer will not boot beyond "Windows activation error. A problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error code:0x80070426."
In researching this problem, I found a possible solution that did not work. I booted into safe mode with command prompt...typed services.msc....went to software licensing which was stopped...(it is set to automatic)..I tried to restart it and received the error message "Windows could not start the Software Licensing on local computer. Error 1084: This service cannot be started in Safe Mode."
I am trying to get this going without having to reload Windows Vista. Any suggestions?

This doesn't help either. Remember, I cannot boot beyond the error message. I can't get into safe mode other than with a command prompt.

ivanoviola, sorry, I went back and reread the article, and I booted from a Vista install disk to a command prompt and typed :C:\Windows\system32>net start slsvc and received message that "the service name is invalid." more help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185" which I did and it still said "The service name is invalid."

Can you do a system restore (booting up from the installation disk) to a time before the problem started? It seems that something has happened to the service file, either deleted, moved or renamed (not sure how this would occur).
ASKER
Tried that initially. No restore available.
