I have installed Windows Vista Beta 2 and have been working with it for a
couple of days, but since a few days I have been getting somce licensing
error screens like every 2 hours. I first ignored it, but after my first
reboot Vista won't startup anymore. When it starts loading the desktop I get
the following error:

-----------------------------------------
Licensing Error
You can not logon because you have not activated your copy of Windows

Please activate your copy of Windows and try again

Error information:
Code: 0xC004F027
Description: The software licensing service reported that the license is
tampered
-----------------------------------------

First of all, I have never tampered with anything. I just did the install,
installed my apps (Photoshop, Arles, Kaspersky, Mirc, MSN Live, Office 2007
Beta 2, FireFox, ICQ, WinIso) and that's it. So I have no idea why it says I
have tampered the license? I wouldn't even know how.

Anyway, it tells me to please activate my copy, but how do I do this if I
can't login? Is there anyway to fix this? I would hate to re-install
everything agian :(

Thanks for your help.
 
Activation is like a kid calling home from summer camp to talk to mummy. If
the kid can't talk to mummy, the kid will just sit in the corner and stew,
and refuse to play nice. Are you connected to the internet?

there nobody how now the right answer about this question!?
Best Regards

I am getting the same error... I have not tampered with anything at all.
It says:

I activated this morning and then logged out, then logged back in, now it
gives me this. I can't even log in to reactivate! It just lets me open the
"Contact Microsoft to help resolve this problem" and that is the only thing I
can do.
 
Yeah, I'm getting the same problem. I just activated, then logged off, back
on, and now I can't log in because it says that I haven't activated. I had
14 days left to activate and it shouldn't run out by now, and I am always
online through my LAN.
 
Hi Davey,
When you search for the error number 0xC004F027, you find posts from

He writes that Kapersky can be the reason for this.
