Error code 0x8007007b: windows won't activate on bootcamp

I installed windows 7 enterprise on bootcamp. The key is legit and not in use. Windows keeps saying it can't activate, I tried everything and I don't know what to do?

Activate by phone:
1. Click Start, and in the Search box type :  slui.exe
2. Press ENTER on your Keyboard
3. Select your Country.
4. Select the Phone Activation option, and hold on for a real person.
Please note that Windows 7 Enterprise is not supported on Boot Camp. this may never work. Apple support 7 Home Premium, 7 Professional or 7 Ultimate.

  • Error code: 0x8007007B while trying to activate build 9926, upgraded from 9879

    Anyone else? I know that this Windows doesn't require activation but will this limit me in anyway? I checked and Windows on my machine reported that my current key(? , i never entered one during installation from ISO) ends with MKKG7 while the default key
    on Windows Insider Website is the one end with 233PK. Previous build 9879 showed as activated before i upgraded to 9926 today through Updates
    Any ideas?

    If your key is for KMS activation it will never activate without the KMS server, make it sure that you have KMS server and your server is reachable to the KMS server. Please see this Kb ARTICLE

  • I keep getting this error code 7 (windows error 126).  can't open itunes, what do i do?

    i keep getting this error code 7 (windows error 126).  can't open itunes, what do i do?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Error code 2 windows error code 2

    I updated my iphone yesterday to the newest os so I had to update my ITunes as well. In doing so I was left with error code 7 Windows error code 127. I looked through the forums and did what was said. I removed iTunes, bonjour, apple support, apple app support, etc. and now when I reinstall it I get error code 2 Windows error code 2. not really sure what to do now because uninstalling it and reinstalling is not working.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Bonjour, won't install normally.

  • Windows Server 2012 Windows Backup failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).

    The Volume Shadow Copy service initially was running under the context of System, so we thought that ‘System’ doesn’t have permissions to access network shares. 
    When the Volume Shadow Copy service was running under the context of System, this was the error logged:
    “failed with following error code '0x8078014B' (There was a failure in creating a directory on the backup storage location.).”
    Which is likely due to not having permissions to write to the network location. 
     This is a scheduled backup trying to write to a network location, so we changes the service to run under the context of an account that does have permissions to write to the network share.
      Then the error changed to this:
    “failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).”

    We aren’t really seeing anything that gives any hint on what the issue is. 
    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    We are trying to back up folders/files from 2 local drives (C: & D:), both of which have only 10% space used, and 100 GB free. 
    We are attempting to back the files up to a Remote Shared File (and there is 100+ GB free space out there). 
      If we try another network location, we receive the exact same error. 
     This is Windows Server 2012, not running Hyper-V and is a physical server not a VM.
    Thank you for the link.

  • 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).

  • After iTunes update, Error code R6038, iTunes won't function

    Afterupdating iTuneson my Dell running Vista, Error Code R6038 pops up and iTunes won't function?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Failed to install Creative Cloud desktop error code 1 Windows 8.1

    I just recently tried to begin a trial of creative cloud in order to get access to photoshop. I really need photoshop for my school because of how powerful it is and the tools is offers. A couple weeks ago I tried to download and install creative cloud for windows 8 64-bit, and the download begins, but once it reaches around 50%, it raises an error message saying "We've encountered the following issues: Creative Cloud desktop failed to install (error code 1)". I was having problems with the internet at the time so I just naturally assumed it was the cause. So I went ahead and gave it a couple of days before I tried again. When I tried again I received the same error message at the same time. I continued to look around for a solution and trying it everyday but I have had absolutely no luck with it, and honestly am getting quite frustrated with it. I have looked everywhere for a solution, I tried the adobe clenup tool, I have checked to make sure I don't have any previous versions of adobe products on my computer, and even tried installing it as an admin in safe mode, and still nothing. I have no idea what to do next, but I know that I have to get ahold of photoshop, one way or another, and it must have the professional tools included in the creative cloud edition. Please tell me there is a simple solution and I have been blind this entire time. If there is no solution, can someone direct me to another software similar to photoshop that has access to the plug-in dDo? (I am in game development and have heard how powerful dDo is and have been dying to use it. I have also been anxious to get photoshop, but it doesn't appear to be possible without the creative cloud desktop app).

  • DirectAccess Client not connecting without error code on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    we are currently migrating from Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2 and are not able to get the new Direct Access Service up and running. Our goal is to establish DirectAccess connection for a handful of clients using the IPHTTPS-adapter on the default port 443.
    Errors:
    There is actually no error showing up. It seems the infrastructure tunnel cannot be created but none of the IPv6-transition adapters is connecting (teredo and 6-to-4 are down) and the IPHTTPs adapter gives no informations about a problem:
    >Get-DAConnectionStatus
    Status    : Error
    Substatus : CouldNotContactDirectAccessServer
    >Get-NetIPHttpsState
    LastErrorCode   : 0x0
    InterfaceStatus : Failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server; waiting to reconnect
    Setup:
    Our setup is a virtualized Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard running on Hyper-V. It is located behind a NAT having the Port 443 mapped to the server. The only role installed after the basic install is RRAS including DirectAccess and VPN. The assistants completed
    successfully (running the configuration for DirectAccess and VPN). Operation Status says everything is green und working (for multiple days in the meanwhile). A previous direct access installation (on a different machine running Windows Server 2012) has
    been removed before installing the new server. The new installation is using a different router, so this might also be the cause of a problem.
    The client is a Windows 8.1 notebook located outside the company network accessing the internet through another NAT-device. The client has been able to connect to the previous DirectAccess setup but has never been able to establish a connection after the
    setup of the new Direct Access server. The device has no outbound constraints concerning the NAT-device and is only running the integrated Windows Firewall.
    Diagnosis:
    So far I've done some basic DNS and connectivity checks. The DNS-name can be resolved correctly and the router even responds to pings. The port forward is working and HTTPs connections are generally possible (temporarily routed the port to
    access the NLS-Website located on the server, which worked fine).
    Network monitor shows that both computers are communicating, traffic on the expected Port 443 is incoming on the server and responses from the server reach the client.
    Opening the IPHTTPs-url and in an endless page load. Sometime the browser page closes but I've never seen any result. Using telnet on the port shows that the server is accepting connections. I've even build a small test application that does a GET-Request
    on the URL returning HTTP-200 and no content.
    I'm currently running out of ideas what to do and since no error occurs this is kind of a bit frustrating. Any help appreciated.

  • Vista Home Premium - Error code 80070490 - Windows update

    Computer - Satellite 200
    Operating system - Vista Home Premium (service pack 1)
    Problem - When I try to update from Windows Update (both manual and automatic) I get error code 80070490
    I have tried - System restore, downloading and paying for "RegCure" and following instructions on Microsoft forum all without success.
    The computer was supplied with a recovery disk which does not have "repair" facility.
    If you have a solution that does not involve a full re-load I would be very grateful
    Please make instructions comprehensible to a non-techno!
    Thank you

    This error may occur if the older Windows Update engine files cannot be
    replaced by Windows Update Agent 3.0 (7.0.6000.374).
    To troubleshoot this issue, I suggest we first reset permission and
    reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0.
    Step 1: Reset permission
    ================
    1. Please download the subinacl.msi file from the following link and save
    the installation patch onto the Desktop:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...inityDownloads
    2. Please go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.
    3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination Folder
    during the installation. Later we will use this tool to reset the permission
    settings on the current machine.
    Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to
    continue, please click Continue.
    4. Click the Start Button, in the Start Search bar, type: "notepad" (without
    quotes) and press Enter.
    5. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
    window:
    @echo off
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
    @Echo =========================
    @Echo Finished.
    @Echo =========================
    @pause
    6. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose
    Save when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file
    name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the save location.
    7. Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run
    as administrator."
    8. You will see a DOS-like window processing.
    NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished,
    you will be prompted with the message: "Finished, press any key to continue".
    Step 2: Reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0
    ===========================
    1. Please download the file from the following link:
    Windows Vista (32bit)
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe
    Windows Vista (64bit)
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe
    2. Save the file to D: drive.
    Note: Please select a drive where Windows Vista was not loaded because the
    file cannot be launched directly from the system root directory.
    3. Click Start->Run, type: "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce"
    (without quotations) and then press Enter to install the Windows Update
    engine.
    Note: There is a space between "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" and
    "/wuforce"
    Now, let's run Windows Update again.

  • Windows Cryptographic Service Provider - error code: 2148532334 (Windows 8.1)

    Dear,
    since my computer was recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 I have a problem with placing my signature (via certifcates).
    Before the update I could sign all my pdf-files with my electronic identity card - without issues.
    Now I receive a window: "windows-security" which says: Smartcarderror (some required programmes are not installed on the system).
    When I click "cancel" I get the error code in subject.
    Another card reader is not changing anything, neither another smartcard (id-card).
    Please advise, as signing pdf-files is very important for our company.
    Thanks. Willem Van Lommel
    NB: in my opinion all other updates are done without troubles.
    NB2: please find herewith some prt scns (in Dutch):
    1. before a smartcard was pushed in the cardreader:
    2. after the smartcard was added (same when card was added to other cardreader)
    3. because "ok" didn't result in anything -> you have to click "cancel - annuleren" or on the red X (at the right corner), then the result is:

    If by "Adboe X Pro" you mean Acrobat, you are more likely to get a useful reply if you ask in the Acrobat forum.
    All I can tell you that this error (0x80100068) means "The smart card has been reset, so any shared state information is invalid."
