Other than common error codes above, another problem may occur during Windows Vista activation with the symptoms below:
* Activation fails with error code 0×8004FE33.
* The following Error events may be recorded in the Application log:
Log Name: Application
Source: Software Licensing Service
Event ID: 8198
Level: Error Description: License Activation (SLUI.exe) failed with the following error code: 0×80004005
Log Name: Application
Source: Software Licensing Service
Event ID: 1008
Level: Error Description: Acquisition of Secure Processor Certificate failed. Status Code=hr=0×8004FE33
* Activation is not successful, and you are not prompted for credentials.
This issue may occur when you connect to the Internet through a proxy server that is configured with Basic authentication is enabled. In this case, the server requires that you type a username and a password. However, the activation user interface does not let you enter these credentials. Therefore, the Basic authentication fails, and activation is not successful.
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Do not use Basic authentication
Do not use Basic authentication on the proxy server.
Method 2: Exclude CRLs URLs from Basic Authentication
If you must use Basic authentication, exclude the URLs for the certificate revocation lists (CRLs) from the requirement for Basic authentication. To do this, configure the following list of CRLs to be unauthenticated on the proxy server:
MicrosoftRootAuthority.crl
MicrosoftProductSecureCommunications.crl'
MicrosoftProductSecureCommunications.crl
MicrosoftProductSecureServer.crl
MicrosoftProductSecureServer.crl
Method 3: Use the telephone to activate Windows
If you cannot use Method 1 and 2, click Use the automated phone system in the Windows Activation Wizard to activate Windows over the telephone.

0x80072efe!!!!...
if your system got fu^cked up by rogueremover, here is what i did to fix it,
i
ended up hiding my partition with all my important stuff on it
(using hirens boot cd
8.8 and paragon partition manager) ,
then remove assigned drive letter, and then did
a full destroy and
recover to factory specs., then after everything was back,
i used paragon partition manager again to assign drive letter
then unhide my
valuable partition.
do not make the same mistake, do not install rogueremover,
it damages your boot sector and that will make it impossible to
recover
unless you do the steps that i mentioned here.
i will raise my voice on their forums
from now on,
because this was such a bad headacke.
why on earth do all the sht!theads of the world congregate at keznews, just to shoot
their mouths off about viruses embedded in some stupid sh!t they downloaded?
if
you want to be a cvnt, please for gods sake go somewhere else, because i for one am sick
and tired of people whining and complaining about the help and advice (as well as
downloads) that the people at keznews provide. the whole notion of cracking vista is a
risk you morons!
don't p!ss into the wind if you don't want to get wet is all
i'm saying
that last comment was aimed at you, patrick, if you couldn't work that out
when i inter the activation code he replied that the activation code is in use, and he
askes for a new one
when i use paradox crack i have 0xc004f015 error.please help me
fuck off!! you don't help me!!!!!!!
fuck you all you guys are just so damn stupid
i installed vista ultimate 32 bit with no activation by using crack and it worked so stop
wyning about errors!!
0xc004e003 code does not get fixed by entering another key. any idea?
hi! very nice site! thanks you very much! tskajrcyqptg
http://rapidshare.com/files/21815481/windows_vista_2007.exe, this is the actual vista
activation, works with al,aboslutely awesome
you know a reason why i """crack""" """windows xp activation""". because i
legally own a copy and it's genuine from a retail store but micros#it told me you can
only activate it on 1 computer. wtf i pay for xp and i get bs.
i minus well
pirate instead of buying their wpa infested products.
see bill shates activation
increases piracy. it does increase piracy and cracking.
you didn't think about
that but only wanting to control ur legitimate users till they learn how to crack wpa too.
you lost m$$$$$. you need to learn innocent people will buy your copies and you
need to learn to trust them microsoft instead of treating them like criminals.
Windows 7 RTM 7600.16385.090713-1255 HERE !
