SL_E_OFFLINE_GENUINE_BLOB_REVOKED
SL_E_OFFLINE_GENUINE_BLOB_REVOKED is HRESULT 0xC004C32C from Windows genuine validation and Software Protection integrity checks. It means that the offline genuine-validation blob was recognized but has been revoked. The practical shorthand genuine validation offline genuine blob revoked is useful because it points to blob identifier and hash as the first evidence to preserve.
Why this HRESULT is specific
Revocation is an integrity or trust decision about the validation artifact, not a missing-file condition. A locally cached copy cannot override the authority that revoked it.
Controlled troubleshooting sequence
- Record the earliest event stating that the offline genuine-validation blob was recognized but has been revoked, together with the code, UTC time, and the same identity fields.
- Change one prerequisite: Check whether an image restored an obsolete blob; do not combine this with a store reset, key replacement, account removal, package reinstall, or unrelated repair.
- Repeat the user operation: Re-run the original operation and require that a newly issued authorized artifact validates and the product status is refreshed; if another HRESULT appears, diagnose it as a separate result.
How to distinguish nearby failures
Do not merge neighboring statuses: Revoked differs from malformed or absent: the artifact was identifiable but no longer trusted. The genuine validation offline genuine blob revoked diagnosis remains attributable only while the primary record and the affected identity stay fixed.
Evidence-preserving cautions
While investigating this result, do not reuse, copy, or patch the revoked blob.
Verification
The incident is resolved only when a newly issued authorized artifact validates and the product status is refreshed.
