a bug activation

A bug in activation?

As a MS TechNet Plus subscriber, I received the Beta Windows Vista Build 5270 in my February shipment.
No problem for installation with the key on the disc. The problem comes after, during the activation.
In a first time, Vista activation runs perfectly fine and successful (VGA is OK).
In a second time, about 2 hours after the activation, Vista appears to be not activated and lets me 13 days to activate again.
When I run a new activation, the process hangs up and I got the following error code 0x8007000D : "data is invalid".
I have reported this issue to TechNet Support (technet@eu.subservices.com).
They confirmed me by phone the key is right and does not need to be replaced. So, my problem could be coming from bad internet connection settings and they told me to search support on MS newsgroups.
I re-installed Vista three times and got the same issue. I have reported it using Microsoft Beta Client but no answer at this time.
In the viewer, event ID in "Software Licensing Service" is 1010.
However, my connection works fine (ADSL ISP => Free IP/ADSL 10/1 mbs with FreeBox router). I have no any access restriction on the web or in my network. Windows update and Windows Defender update work fine too.
I don't understand.
Did somebody experience same issue to activate Vista and how to fix this bug?
Thanks

I've had the same problem with 5308 once, but I've just had to reinstall Vista once to fix it. Make a clean reinstall, not an "upgrade" or "repair".
Christophe

This is what I've done three times, clean install and I got same issue. Even with CTP Feb B5308 and MS Ofice 2007 Beta-1 TR, Office is activated and Vista no.

Try activating under the root Administrator account. http://windowsconnected.com/blogs/jerry/archive/2006/02/22/1028.aspx
The activation failure could be result AV installed on the system blocking the process. Internet Explorer could also be in off line mode. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Thanks Pierre, I saw your recent post about activation. Only NOD32 on first installation. No AV installed at this time and it's the fourth install... Re-typed the key : no more result.

Have you installed any virtual cd software?
I installed an old version of daemon tools (3.02) on Vista 5308 so that I could install by Oracle client software which I keep iso images. Within the hour of installation I got a popup saying Vista was no longer licensed and any attempt to go through the Windows Activation always came up with the same error as you - 0x8007000D.
I de-installed Daemon tools and Activation worked first time.
Just to prove it, I reinstalled Daemon and the Welcome Centre immediately said "This machine is unlicensed", and Activation failed, removed Daemon again and Activation worked.

Bingo Cary, you're right! I had Daemon Tools (3.02) installed. I uninstalled it and the activation was successful! Now, the problem is to know the reason why Vista becomes unlicensed after installing DT. It's a very useful software. Thanks a lot

I installed it too, I plumb forgot about it! Not only is it very useful software, but it's recommended by Microsoft on the MSDN downloads news page! Of course they probably don't expect us to use it on Vista... -- Pierre Szwarc Paris, France PGP key ID 0x75B5779B ------------------------------------------------ Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! ------------------------------------------------

I have DaemonTools 3.33 installed on Feb CTP, and no activation problem! Just make sure DT 3.33 is ran with admin rights, and it works fine.
