Vista


I am recieving a code: 0XC004F059

The Software Licensing Service reported that a license in the computer BIOS
is invalid.


I am assuming that this is in regards to the Motherboard BIOS?

I have the most current motherboard BIOS that is offered by ASUS.

I have contacted ASUS and they have sugested to ask Microsoft.

I'm not quite sure what to do here since everything is up to date and
legitimate.

You may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer on which
Windows Vista was already activated by a Volume License or OEM installation:

this..but something to check and see
