| 1177246 | 2011-02-12 00:28:00 | It happens sometimes, simply reactivate it. One cause is Software Licensing Service has stopped. It may not have woken up right side of the desk this morning. :p From one Of MS tech sites, it relates to Vista, but the same is for W7. I checked this when one of the Workshop W7's did this trick almost daily, and the service was not running. "The problem is that your Vista's Software Licensing Service has stopped. Vista uses this service to check itself and confirm it is Genuine. When the service is stopped, Vista is unable to confirm it's own Genuine status and may show Genuine or Non-Genuine." You can open a command prompt in Admin, and enter net start slsvc |

| 1177250 | 2011-02-12 02:18:00 | I swapped a few sata cables around in my case a while back, windows complained it wasn't genuine. It was hilarious, you should have seen the way I shat myself. |

| 1177252 | 2011-02-13 09:49:00 | My desk top has a genuine edition of Windows 7 Professional but for some reason declared that it was not genuine twice. No hardware changes. The second time was enough, so I used a well known program to reset it. No more problems. It somehow got its knickers in a twist because Microsoft Security has always said that it is genuine. |

| 1177253 | 2011-02-13 19:00:00 | The funny thing is you dont need hacks to get rid of the message. You simply reactivate it and its happy again. If you get that message it because something has changed or some service has not started correctly,and by hacking the message it can cause problems further down the line. The case of mine doing that, I know why - it was something I had done while playing about, so it was my own doing. |
