It's only fair to share. After the release of Windows 8,then 8.1, more users are switching to the new OS. One of the early reported problems is the issues related to activation error 0xC004F074. After installing, you are supposed to activate windows.

From last week I am getting an error while activating Windows with error code 0xC004F074 and error description as. 'The software licensing service reported that product could not be activated. No key management service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see application event log for more details.' More Windows Activation Code 0xc004f074 videos. Article with instructions for users who have invalid product keys and are receiving MSDN key block activation error.

But some users have reported an error code 0xC004F074 during the time of activation. This error code appears only during the time of activation when the Software Licensing Service reports that it cannot activate the product key since the Key Management Service cannot be contacted. The steps below will help you fix the problem easily. This can also be tried for the error code 0x8007232B. Open cmd(command prompt) with administrator rights. Type slmgr.vbs –ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (x should be replaced by your 25 digit product key). Hit Enter.

Type slmgr.vbs –ato (This will change the product key). Hit Enter Another method for fixing activation error 0xC004F074.

Start - Run -Type Slui 3 (Slui 4 for activating by phone ). Enter Product key. Click Activate Other methods to try The issue might be with corrupt system files.

Run an SFC scan. Open command prompt(with admin rights). Type sfc /scannow Try activating, once the scan is complete. If the scan produced errors,this might be a problem with corrupted system files that needs to be taken care of.

The product key has exceeded its unlock limit Trying to activate too many times can lead to a server error “the product key has exceeded its unlock limit”. Once you get this message, there are only 2 things to do. Dial the automated system and try to activate product by phone. If that failed, talk to a Microsoft technician.

Be prepared with details of your purchase of product as the technician is sure to ask questions to confirm if the product is genuine. Once confirmed, they will reset the product key on their server and you wont have any more problems in activating. At present there are lot of reported issues related to activation. I will be updating this article on a regular basis on steps that could be used to fix this problem. This should fix activation error 0xC004F074. Enjoy your copy of Windows 8. Try this in the order 1) On Dell, check if you have the product key written on the computer casing or beneath in case of laptop.

If you have the product key, use it as a refernce to show that the OS you got is genuine. Ask them to help you re-install Windows 8 completely. Dell usually stores the OS files inside a hard disk partition. If that partition is intact inside the computer, they will be able to use it to re-install Win 8. They can guide through the steps on the call itself. Talk with a supervisor if needed. 2) Use the free software Belarc Advisor or ProduKey to get the product key inside the computer.

There are plenty of articles that explain how to use the software to get the product key. 3) If you dont have OS disk or failed to get a valid product key, Dell and Microsoft will never help.

Contacting them is waste of time. Buy Windows 10.

4) If that is not an option, contact the tech guy to get Win 10 installed. Dell tech support is free, if it is inside the warranty period. But if you have the option to do a factory reset, that is the best to do in your situation. 1)Back up all important files. 2)Reset to factory settings and make sure everything is clean just like you received the computer from dell. 3)Then go to programs and features option in control panel. Remove all unwanted software especially security softwares whose validity expired.

4) Do windows update. 5) After every restart, do a windows update to make sure all updates are installed and there is nothing left. 6) When there are no more windows update to install, install all the other softwares.

Hope you get it fixed this time.Please do inform the status. Most problems when it comes to activation and licensing is related to Volume copy problems. Volume copy issues happen when a vendor buy license from Microsoft to install Windows in 100 computers, but out of greed and negligence end up installing the same on 200 computers.

That’s when the problem starts.If you have the option to do an original factory reset, why bother contacting others and waste time. Take a backup and do a clean installation. Then do the free windows upgrade. Please Note: If you have a label on the computer containing OS details and product id, it means you paid for the hardware and OS and you own both. Doing a factory reset will install the original software.If that didn’t work, contact computer vendor. The vendor is responsible for all the software installed inside a computer when you bought it.

If there is no label, the installed OS is from the volume license owned by the vendor. Ask him to get this fixed. Remember, you have the right to go against him legally for installing a pirated software. But, better talk to them first. I am sure they will get this fixed.

Hi, I have the same issue. After a long and frustrating phone call with both Lenovo and Microsoft, I found out that the product key I have is Volume License while my version of Windows is Enterprise Edition. I did not update Windows 8 to 8.1, the laptop automatically did it so now I can’t reverse the process. Even when I tried both of your methods (and Microsoft tried the same thing remotedly on my laptop too), it still didn’t work.

Is there any other methods that you can think of? Thank you so much if you or anyone here could help me out. Hi Hami, The product you have is Volume Licensed, which means Lenovo bought these product keys from Microsoft in bulk to use it on their own computers.

Since this is a product key issue, the entire responsibility is with Lenovo, not Microsoft. Ignore the fact, you upgraded to Win 8.1. This has nothing to do with the problem. This is what you can do. 1.Follow the steps here and check if it gets fixed.

2.Contact Lenovo and ask them for a new key. Make sure you have all information necessary to confirm that you have an authentic product. If you can convince them, they should give you a new product key to replace.

Hi, Im just wondering if you could help me, my laptop keeps asking me to activate windows but it keeps failing. I’ve tried updating any available updates but this didn’t help. My laptop came activated so i do not have the previous key used to activate it.

I have run Belarc Advisor, and thought I found my product key, but when I typed it into command prompt, it was too short and instead changed a number of different things on my laptop which I’m unsure what is. I could not find anything else resembling a product key.

I’m really confused and think I’ve screwed up my laptop. Any suggestions would be great! I don’t think it’s screwed up completely. Yes, you have a problem with activation issue and you can get it fixed by following the procedure mentioned here using the right product key. Belarc Advisor works perfectly on my PC, but I have seen the product key not displayed properly only displaying the last 5 number of product key.

After working on a client’s computer who had a pirated copy installed, my understanding is that it may have problem with retrieving the product key as it is on a cracked software. You need to get the original product key. Check the document that came with the product and check if it have the product key.

Some laptop may have stickers on the back side which may have the product key mentioned. Once you have the right product key, use the method here to activate product. Dear Anup Raman, i purchased a new laptop samsung notebook with windows 8 installed from U,S,A. Its still under warranty. When i tried to upgrade through the windows store to windows 8.1 it was not upgrading.several times it use to get downloaded to 50/60% and then stop. So i found windows enterprise 8.1 through a torrent and downloaded it. I installed it but now i cannot activate that copy online.

If i am entitled for a free upgrade then will microsoft help me. Or will i have to remove this copy and switch back to windows 8 again. I called up the microsoft guy and he said that i have to contact samsung only for the key. Kindly advice. Thanking you. Hi Kuresh, You did a big mistake by installing Windows 8.1 copy from torrents which must be a pirated version.

It is a known issue that some users don’t get the prompt to upgrade to 8.1 in windows store, but it does have a solution which you should have followed. At this time, I am not sure if you completely wiped out the previous original version of Win 8 from computer. Some manufacturers keep a hidden recovery partition inside the computer which contains the original OS files, which can be used to re-install it back.In order to access the hidden parition, you may have to use F1, F2 or some other key combinations (The key varies for different manufacturers). Find out if you can get access to the recovery partition and re-install the original Windows 8 back. If that didnt work, you need to contact Samsung to see if they can help. Worse case, you may have to order the CD from them which may cost of few bucks, but not up to the original cost of Windows 8 disk.

The Microsoft guy is right, there is nothing he can do the moment you removed the original. You need help from Samsung. I just bought my laptop last November. It went into a problem a couple of months ago so I did a System ‘Restart'(idk what this term exactly but is similar to System Restore which is a feature of Windows 8) Finally it’s working back to normal now and I just noticed it kept on searching for Windows activation key. The OS was included in the laptop bundle itself thus I don’t have a boot CD/ CD key with me so I’m being careful with my actions on my laptop.

Whenever I click the activate button it returns activation-error-0xc004f074. Ofc I searched the net for troubleshooting options like this. I ran into several options but its still the same, activation-error-0xc004f074.

I hope you can help me. I don’t want to make a technician see this as they are just taking advantage of the issue and will start charging me one-by-one step from checkup to the actual repair. (Additional information (again)) Hello again and again!! I tried the third method and it says there: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir Logs CBS CBS.log. For example C: Windows Logs CBS CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios.

Just bought my laptop exactly 2 months and three days ago. Still under warranty. The technician told me they might need to replace the motherboard with a new one and they need to reformat my laptop. Igi unlimited game pc. But I’m not ready yet.:(( Is there anything I can do to solve this? Thanks in advance, Anup!

My friend, i bought a fujitsu laptop, it comes with DVD recovery and recovery partition on the HDD ok? On the dvd there is (OEM activation 3.0 required) i have format the C partition and install windows 7, reformat and install windows 8 again, and update the bios from 2.05 to new version from fujitsu web site 2.06. This is all what i did, but in the windows it shows me that (your license to use windows expires on 3/7/2014) i installed this yesterday!!! One month only? Please help me to solve this. Hi Omar, I believe the Win8 installed here is a cracked version. It might have been activated by a programs like KMS activator which only activate the copy for a certain time period.

Then you will have to re-activate it again.Hope you got my point. An original copy of windows OS which is licensed for one PC is valid for a life time on one computer.So there is no way you will get this message, if you have a valid copy. The win 7 inside the recovery CD is the original licensed software for this laptop.

Either use the original win 7 that came with the laptop or contact Fujitsu for a genuine Win8 copy. They might be able to give you a better deal on the product. Hope this helps.Good Luck. This post assisted me with an activation issue in Windows Server 2012. The problem: We did not realize Active Directory had to be updated to the latest DC Functional level in order to use the newer KMS offered in WS2012. We had installed the KMS software, discovered the limitations and uninstalled it.

However during this process it seemed to mess up the local activation. Steps & Notes: Started an elevated command prompt I ran slmgr.vbs –ipk (key) I then ran slmgr.vbs –apo I received a notification telling me the key was registered successfully. I ran slui 3 and the system registered itself, thus clearing the error notifications and activating the system.

Hi, I had Windows 8 already installed on my laptop when I bought it. When I tried to activate it, it said error 0XC004F074 after that I tried the sfc/scannow and it gave me CBS.log error and said to look the error up in the log (since I didn’t understood what the log said I searched on the internet what to do), so after that I tried dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and this gave me 0x800F081F I found out that this was a.Net Framework 3.5 error so I re-installed.Net Framework 3.5 again, but this time offline. And tried the sfc/ scannow again. And this gave me again the CBS.log error after that I tried the dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth again which gave me this time a 0X800F0906 error which again was an error of.Net Framework 3.5. At the moment I don’t know what to do and once in a while there pops up something from the Windows start menu that I have to activate my Windows.

I hope that you can help me. Thanks in advance, John. This did not work for me!! Bought the desktop new in Best Buy 1 month ago without windows 8 activated!!

I called them, they told me to call Dell, called Dell they told me to call Windows, called Windows they told me to call Dell – DELL came to my house, changed motherboard and still have issues they could not activate the Windows 8, now desktop has with video issues, windows 8 sucks but Dell can not handle anything, it might be the worst company in America – Best Buy is selling faulty desktop but they blame Dell, Dell blame Windows, this is unbelievable. Hope they replace it soon, its the Dell Inspiron All in One just released in June for 450$ DONT BUY IT. Quite upsetting to see what happened to you. This is what I understand. Dell is the one who should activate the windows for you.

There is no point in calling Microsoft support as the Windows 8 that came installed inside Dell should be an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) copy.If the copy of Windows 8 is bought from Microsoft directly or from a retail store, it is the responsibility of Microsoft. But they have limitations when it comes to OEM copy as the licencing responsibility is with Dell.So my suggestion, don’t leave Dell until they get it fixed. Regarding the Windows 8 crashing, I suggest you install the latest 8.1 update. Hopefully it should get all issues fixed.
