This Version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system (**bleep**)?

I have a 3 week old W510, Windows 7 64-bit, i7 Thinkpad. Over the Chritmas holidays I was able to start exploring the software that came loaded on the machine. One of these was the ThinkVantage Toolbox which I accessed at least 2 or 3 times to explore the programs and what they had to offer. It worked fine and I was able to view the different offerings inside the toolbox.
Two days ago I used the Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools "Update and Drivers" to find updates to the the machine. It found some updates (I'm not sure of each and everyone but they seemed reasonable) and downloaded them all to bring the system up-to-date.
Today I tried to access the Toolbox and was greeted with a License Authentication Failed message box with this message:
"This Version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system".
I assume it was something in the recent updates that did this. I have only installed a couple other photo editing pieces of software since then that I doubt would have any effect on this.
I certainly can do a system restore back to before I did the updates, but I'd rather not since a) the updates for the most part appeared to be needed and were successful, b) I'd rather not have to update those things that have auto-updated (like Norton and Super Anti-Spyware definitions), and c) I'm not sure restoring will help, not to mention re-installing the other pieces of software that successfully installed.
I have been a good doo-bee poster and searched this forum and other web resources and while there is reference made to some solutions for this, I didn't fully understand them so I figured I would ask here for help before trying anything. I do have Lenovo phone support but trying here before calling them.
Thoughts anyone? Should I simply download the latest ThinkVantage Toolbox software and install it? If so, should I uninstall the version I have now?
Looking for any assistance anyone could render.
Thank you.
Jim

Hi again Jim,
First of all you're welcome!
I have another suggestion for you, it might successfully help you in updating Toolbox to the current version, but for this I'd suggest that you first create a restore point just in case the advice fails. Once created a restore point, launch ThinkVantage Toolbox, give it a minute to completely load/run quick tests etc, thereafter click the green colored question mark -> check for updates, once it finds the latest version, let it download and install, I'm hopeful you won't run into any issues via this approach.
Keep us posted.

  • ThinkVantage Toolbox does not run after BIOS update

    Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update Tool on my T410 ThinkPad (2518EWG) offered me download and installation of ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US version 1.28-1.11.
    Since then,  whenever I try to run Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox I receive a message: „This version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system“.
    I notice that the ThinkVantage Toolbox still shows the old BIOS No. 6IET49WW (1.09), while the updated BIOS is 6IET68WW (1.28).
    Any comprehensible instruction how to solve the problem for a computer layman will be much appreciated. Thanks - Jan

    I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
    Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.

    I am running the latest version, but this was happening with the prior version as well.

    Hi,
    this sounds to me like a corrupt registry, or unregistered library files of the Toolbox aplication.
    Coul you please test the latest version, that can be downloaded from following link:
    http://web.lenovothinkvantagetoolbox.com/index.html#top
    This is the version "6.0.5551.02"
    Let me know, if this changes anything.
    Cheers

  • How do I stop the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox update message from popping up?

    There are times when I am streaming video, and do not want pop up messages showing on the screen. I do not like pop ups. There seems to be no way to turn off Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox update messages from popping up on the screen. If I could turn the pop ups off, i would. I am running Windows XP - Pro.

    Download and install MS Autoruns:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
    Before you run Autoruns, in explorer, get properties on the chm help file and click the Unblock button if visible.
    Otherwise you may be unable to use the help file.
    Now run Autoruns.  Find all likely references to Thinkvantage Toolbox (PC Doctor) and disable (uncheck checkbox).
    You don't have to remove the references, just disable them.  You can re-enable them later if you like.
    Save and restart computer.  Poof! No more Thinkvantage Toolbox popups.  You will now need to run it manually.

  • This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer. Why Not. Mac Mini has the required spec.

    Hi...
    I hope that you can help me!!
    I am trying to update a recently purchased pre-owned Mac Mini to OSX Lion. ATM it is running OSX 10.6.8, with 2GHz Core 2 duo processor, and 2GB of DDR2 SD RAM. There is 30+ GB of hard drive available. The App Store has acknowledged the fact that I have previously bought OSX Lion, but when I try to download, it displays the following, "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer." It meets the required specs. Help!! How can I upgrade....

    What model is it? There are some early Intel minis around that have had CPU upgrades. They can't run Lion, at least not without hacking.

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

    If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

  • T510 win7 x64 ThinkVantage Toolbox does not function

    This is my first Lenovo after years of Dells. Normally I would junk the preloaded non microsoft bloatware just to be confident that I knew what was going on. However the ThinkVantage Toolbox might seem to be a useful free utility, but out of the box it does not work. It launches, runs it's diagnostics, but if I click on 'ThinkVantage Rescue and recovery' to launch the backup program, nothing happens. Likewise nothing if I click 'Lenovo Fingerprint software'. The release version is 6.0.5514.60. Am I missing something obvious?
    Also this forum appears to have no text search facility, so I can't search for other mentions of 'Toolbox' - again have I missed the obvious?

    There are many people complaining about this in other threads.  I found the solution from kglad in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5750996
    You can get Flash CC to publish to version 9 player by putting these two files in these locations:
    This file: http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/5510986-147069/Fl ashPlayer9_0.xml

    Goes here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP9\playerglobal.swc
    You may need to create the FP9 folder.
    Restart flash and you should see Player 9 in your publish options.  You'll have to find the AS3 clickTag code.

  • Where can I find the plugins folder when I have opened PSE13? I miss it in this version! If so why did Adobe removed it? Then this version has no use to me.

    I just purchased PSE13 and after installing I noticed that I can't find my plugins  while I could easily open it in my PSE11. Why did Adobe removed it???  If so I think I will install PSE11 again.
    Kind-a weird that this version doesn't have a plugin-use anymore.
    Oftwel: waar heeft PSE13 de plugins gelaten? In mijn vorige versie PSE11 wanneer ik met een foto bezig was kon ik mijn plugins bereiken, stonden ze er netjes bij maar bij deze versie kan ik ze nergens vinden. Mocht het zo zijn dat Adobe deze heeft verwijderd {wat erg dom is, naar mijn mening!} zit er niets anders voor me op om terug te gaan naar PSE11....
    ♥

    I have Windows 7 Professional X86 and I also noticed that PSE13 was installed in my  'normal' program files folder instead of the X86 program files folder. PSE11 used the X86 programfiles folder. I dunno why though!

  • System32\dssenh.dll is not designed to run on this computer or has an error...

    I have downloaded the latest version of itunes 10.6.3 and when I go to open it I receive a error  C:\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. 
    I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed with no luck.  I appreciated any help you might be able to offer.
    Thank you in advance.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
    I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
    You cannot install some updates or programs
    ... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:
