The activation system is faulty. I'm not sure if the build is correct. When I
try to activate (Its been 14 days) it gives me the following error:

The following information was found for this error:

Code:
0xC004E003

Description:
The software licensing service reported that license evaluation failed.

Thanks very much.
 
Too stupid for a beta OS.

When you help someone like this they will just be back in a few more
days with more stupid question.

This group is being flooded with moronic questions:
How do I get a product key
Where do I get a driver for xyz hardware
Won't install on my lapotop
Won't install on my computer circa 1968
My crappy video card won't run aero glass (the sky is falling)
My crappy sound card doesn't work
Can't figure out how to activate
Will my 16 bit program from 1992 run on Vista
How long can I use Vista Beta
How do I dual boot
I NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET XP BACK
cannot delete windows.old file

Ignore them, children should only listen to adult conversations, not
be incouraged to join in.
 
You know what? I found a bug that I've been trying to fix. I've done phone
activation, changing the product key, asked all my freinds, but yet, the same
errors,
code 0xC004E003 and Confirmation ID not valid for the installation ID. Did
you ever think that its a bug? I was directed here by the msdn online
concierge! So how about stop beeing a jerk and help me out?
 
Thanks for that information, but this is realy hard for me to do anything. I
can access the browser, so I'm happy for now, but otherwise nothing else
works. I realy need to get this fixed.
 
Get yourself over to Microsoft Update (from Vista), pronto, if the computer
hasn't already installed updates recently. The most recent update for Vista
Beta 2 fixes that bug.
 
Thanks alot, but I can't use windows update, can't even get to the control
panel, the only thing I can do is browse my hd and the internet. Can't get
into anything else, not even the network panel.
 
I am having the same error. I tried phone activation (both automated and
talking to a service rep)--both gave me the same 48-digit activation code,
which I read back to the service rep at least twice to make sure I had it
right. It does not complain as I enter it, but after I have entered all the
digits and clicked "Next", after a brief pause it tells me that "The
confirmation ID you entered does not appear to match the installation ID for
this computer". When attempting to activate online, I get error C004E003
("Licencing service reported that license activation failed"). My disk and
product key number are from MSDN.

At least it's better than the error 800705B4 error I was getting yesterday,
in which I could not utilize any activation command at all (that was
apparently fixed by a Windows update that came across automatically when I
started the machine this morning). So it is able to get Windows updates even
though it is not activated.
 
I gave up and reformatted my drive, then reinstalled Vista. What do ya know,
it activated just fine!

Click to expand...
 
Well I though I just had a faulty copy of Vista Beta 2 after arriving at the
same error re activation failed and then the same general runaround with a
negative outcome. Is MS tring to see if their activation is secure? No, but
this is just what Beta testing is all about - getting the bugs out before
final release - now in the mean time I would like to try test this OS ---help
any one??
