Windows 8.1 Pro Activation Error Code: 0xC004C003

I bought a HP Desktop - 110-a04 last month and registered with HP but last week I realized that my Windows 8.1 Pro is not activated yet. When I tried to activate the Windows it gives me an error which is  "The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked, Error Code : 0xC004C003. 
Secondly, I want to downgrade my OS to Windows 7. Where can I find the step by step procedure?
Would appreciate if someone can advise how to fix this?

Hello @SIKhan,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. 
I understand that you are looking to downgrade your operating system to Windows 7, and that your system indicates that your installed OS is not activated. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since your computer only has supported software for Windows 8.1, I do not recommend downgrading to an older version of Windows. Alternatively, you can ensure your installed version of operating system is activated by following the steps in this documnent on Windows 8 Product Activation.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Windows Server 2008 standard Activation Error Code 0xc004c003

    Hi
    I am trying to activate the windows server 2008 standard but i am not able to do so.
    I am getting the error.
    The product key you have entered does not appear to be a valid windows server product key.
    I have also call to microsoft activation team but they won't be able to resolve the issue, they found that the product key is valid. Then why it is not getting activated.
    Can someone help on this ? any reply really appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, we need to make sure that the product key information has been typed correctly and the product key matches to the edition installed.
    Besides, regarding error code 0xC004C003, the following article can be worth taking a look.
    Error 0xC004E002 during activation for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2

    I've personally used this solution (slui 3) to reenter a key when activation wasn't working, but we use MAK, not KMS, so YMMV. I think it may depend on exactly where in the chain things are going wrong.  
    This is an interesting bit from the link britishdhez posted (these are possible causes of this error message): 
    DNS record not published at _VLMCS._tcp.client.domain. This must be an SRV record, which the KMS server will automatically register. If you have disabled this, you will need to use a GPO on the clients to point them to the correct KMS server to use
    No network connectivity from the KMS client to the MS server on the KMS port (tcp/1688 by default). Install telnet on the client and run telnet KMS.Server.Name 1688 and make sure the screen goes blank
    Not more than 4 hours time difference between KMS server and client. Check that your time zones are correct. If using server core, run timedate.cpl
    No major hardware changes to the KMS server. If the KMS server is a VM and you have added a number of new devices, CPUs, memory etc, or P2Ved you will need to reactivate your KMS license
    The KMS service must have the keys to issue for the KMS client requesting a license. For example, if the KMS server is Windows Server 2008 and you are trying to activate Windows 7, you will need an update installed on the KMS server AND the correct KMS
    key for Windows 7."
    Also, I know you said no KB articles, but for completeness sake (for folks reading this at a later date who may be troubleshooting): 
    When trying to activate you get 0xC004F074 with description "The Key Management Server (KMS) is unavailable" - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974998/en-us

  • Error code: 0xC004C003 Windows 8.1 on HP Envy 15 Notebook

    Hi,
    Im looking for a solution to a invalid product key
    I bought the computer approx 18 months ago and it shipped with windows 8
    I updated to windows 8.1 straight after purchase with no problems, about 3 months ago I started to have problems with computer locking up and running slow, so I performed a fresh install from the back up drive. I then had to dowlnload a huge list of updates before putting windows 8.1 back on
    I then got the message that I needed to activate windows ( Error code: 0xC004C003)
    I contacted HP and was given a new activation key - This worked perfectly
    I then started to have computer problems - (computer would not enter sleep) so I performed a refresh of windows, again I had to spend a long time installing updates and  windows 8.1
    I got the same activation error - so I contacted HP to be told they could help (dont know why when they helped previously) and was advised to contact Microsoft with the installation ID so they can reactivate windows
    I contacted Microsoft to be told that I had an invalid product and should contact HP
    I have tried the phone number again and the message says the help centre is unavailable
    So I am trying here   
    Any solutions other than getting a new product key ?
    I have updated the Bios and downloaded all available updates, computer seems to work fine other than it thinking I have an invalid copy of windows.
    A web search seems to reveal that this is a common problem!

    Hi @Mark2222 ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

  • Activation error: Printer not activated, error code 20

    I have had my officejet 4215 all-in-one printer well over a year and it has connected and printed whatever I wanted.  Yesterday when I wanted to print an email it would not and the following box popped up: Activation error: Printer not activated, error code 20.  Then the next box that popped up said: Printer Error  An unknown error occurred while printing.
    If I copy the email over to a Microsoft Windows page, then i can print it fine.
    Any idea how to fix this so I can print email's like I used to?
    Rey

    What operating system?  What email program are you trying to print from?

    Your request for info got me thinking about another oddity I've been working on this week - My firewall (NetGear SRX5308) shows dropped incoming packets from ip 65.55.121.94 with source port 443 and destination port 55338.  ARIN shows the ip belongs
    to MICROSOFT-1BLK, aka Microsoft.  Is it possible that my firewall is blocking communication to MS's licensing servers?

    Hi CJS23
    I edited your post to remove the product key information. Posting even partial product keys is not allowed on these forums.
    The error code  0xC004E003 simply means that the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed.
    Here is what you need to do.
    1. Press the WINKEY+R to bring up the Run dialog box.
    2. Type  SLUI 4  in the box and press OK. This will start the Telephone Activation Wizard.
    3. Select your country in the drop down menu and click the Next Button. Follow the instructions on the screen.
    If the telephone activation fails, stay on the line and an Activation Representative will answer and avtivate the system for you.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank You for testing Windows 7

  • Licensing/activation - error code 131:4

    I've been receiving this error code over and over while trying to reinstall Adobe CS 5.5 onto my new Mackbook Pro.
    It doesn't even give me a chance to enter any of my activation information...
    A problem has occured with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product.
    If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.

    Any ideas?
    Ive been turned away from both phone and chat support saying CS5 is 'too old'. which is frustrating

    This error occurs because of a missing file or invalid serial number. Reinstall the product and try again.

    Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243) - Please help me!!
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E530. This laptop is only brands new.
    KB954430, KB973688 & KB2538243 - These three updates keep giving me problems. In Windows Update, under "view update history" these keep showing up as failed. I also get the error, "Code 643".
    At the end of the installation it tells me three updates are failed to be installed and when I shut down to try to update, Windows always configures up to ~15%, then fails, and reverts changes, then prompts me to install updates the next time I turn my computer on. Each time, I have to re-install every update that I had installed prior to shutting down.
    I went through Trouble shooter - "Fix it" numerous times, Repaired Net framework profile and also followed few instructions I found from the net such as running "Reset Register Windows update Components" but nothing works so far.
    I even tried manually installing KB954430 but it told me "An error occurred during the installation of assembly component. 7B30B69B-OE6C-B7EO-A06B-D6B9ABF34537  HR RESULT: 0 x 80070BC9" and the installation bar seems to stop at "Publishing Product information", then rolls back the installation.

  • Wont open to windows..diagnostic gives many error codes

    Won't open to windows, did diagnostic   hard disc error codes follow....u4wc59-62w7as-mfkt01-60qlo3  hard disc failure.  Does this mean hard drive is shot?  Or needs new software program?    Thanks!

    The hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance if you have a 500GB hdd you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 320GB hdd.

  • Windows 7 KMS client activation error

    hi,
    Windows 7 KMS client activation error
    Any known issue?
    Thanks

    This problem occurs if the KMS server does not find a valid Windows marker in the ACPI_SLIC table in the computer's BIOS program. This problem occurs for one of the following reasons.
    Cause 1
    You purchased a computer that has a qualifying Windows operating system installed. However, the Windows marker in the ACPI_SLIC table is corrupted.
    Cause 2
    You purchased a computer that does not have a qualifying Windows operating system installed. In this case, the Windows marker is not present in the ACPI_SLIC table.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro has error while joining domain, while windows 7 pro has no problem to join in the same network

    I am having the same issue as posted in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/6ea57e5f-6e9d-49bd-9dd7-832ea84c0276/windows-81-pro-will-not-join-domain?forum=w8itpronetworking
    There are a few other people have the same issues.  However there was no real solution provided although the post was marked as answered.  I am posting it here again and hopefully I can get some help to solve this issue.
    We got two new PCs, one with windows 7 and the other with windows 8.1 Pro.  In the same network with domain, the windows 7 pc has no problem at all to join the domain.  However the windows 8.1 Pro won't join the domain. On the windows 8.1 Pro computer,
    I can ping the other computers in the network.  The error message says:
    An Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for the domain "cmi" could not be contacted. ...
    In my case, the domain name is "CMI".  I am sure the DNS setting is correct.  What did I do wrong?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I tried the solution in that article.
    In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters folder, there is no
    NeutralizeNT4Emulator.  So I followed the instructions and created one, and set the value to 1. Then I restarted the computer and tried to join the domain again.  I got the same error.  Below is more from the netsetup log file:

    The domain name "cmi" might be a NetBIOS domain name.  If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
    If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
    DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain "cmi":
    The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.cmi
    The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
    cmi-dc2.cmi
    cmi-dc1.cmi
    However no domain controllers could be contacted.
    Thanks.
