troxo Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi,After having slipstreamed an original windows vista (x86) with service pack 1. I installed it on my computer and activated it: Everything worked.Then I decided to remove some components, and after reformatting and trying to activate, it just wont let me. It stays at "30 days left...", though my key is installed.So, I am wondering: Is there anything in vlite that could possibly be needed for the activation feature?

oskingen Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) before going further, Check if you have enter the right key. once i made this mistake by doing copy-paste in unattended part. I just copy twice the same character and i couldn't activate. Sometime when you update your drivers you have to activate again but according to what you say i don't this is the problem. When you try to activate and it failed it give you a link check to see what's wrong with it Edited May 21, 2008 by hannubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskingen Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 So this should be something else because it works for me without MDAC. I kept Event Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
