Error 0x80072F8F, while activating windows vista

When i was trying to activate, it came up with this error. Tried to change things on regedit, changing time and date and even trying to activate it over the phone. All of these methods didn´t work!! (and i can´t update to 7 or downgrade to xp, vista is the best option)

    If your system has it, run the built-in activation troubleshooter to see if it can detect and fix any issues automatically. You may find it in the Control Panel or by searching “Activate Windows.”
