Error Code 0xC004F074 Win 8.1 Clone

Hello. I have a Toshiba P867-S7102 with two HDD bays. Bought an SSD and cloned WIN 8.1 to that drive, leaving the original HDD in the machine. Changed boot order to SSD first, and all works save the error code mentioned in the title which
will not allow the SSD OS to activate. If I change the boot order back to the original HDD, the OS is activated. The intent of this change is to place the OS and programs on the SSD and use the HDD for storage. I believe my conflict is I
the laptop thinks I have two OS versions running, but I am not sure how to deconflict.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
According to your descritpion, your Windows 8.1 should be computer build in system and not activated by KMS server, isn't it?
If that it is, one OEM or retailed Windows Operate system license only available to one device. That's to say, you couldn't use one product key to activate another Windows system.

If Windows 8.1 is the originally installed OS and not an update you can try the following in order to resolve the issue.
Invoke System restore and use it to choose a restore point (perhaps a system checkpoint) dated before the issue began.
The issue you are seeing is frequently caused by a Microsoft Windows update.
Using system restore to attempt to resolve this will not cause you to lose any data. It is completely reversible and safe.
If the Windows 8.1 is installed as the result of a Windows update,then you will have to remove the update or use the recovery media to resolve the issue by reinstalling the original operating system. I highly recommend saving all important data to an external storage device prior to doing that to avoid data loss.

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 (-1302)/ firewire cable?

I got a new color iPod and installed iTunes 4.90.17 but I get an error message box (2 of them the same) that says:
iTunes error 1302: "the disc 'content' cannot be read" unexpected error 1302
I click OK on both boxes and then iTunes comes up and works OK: how can I resolve these error codes? Win XP/USB 2.0. I have tried reinstalling iTunes but the error boxes always come up
also I had trouble with USB: I have a firewire port: what cable do I need to buy for firewire?
Thanks!!!

Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I only began to see this after I upgraded to iTunes 5.0 and now I constantly get a Windows message saying "An unknown error occurred (-1302)."
My songs continue to play, but I get this same message every ten minutes or so and always in a series of two or four.

You need to adjust your security stuff/ permissions and possibly use compatibility modes. It means that your licensing service is being blocked/ shut down.

HT201413 I am receiving the error code (-50). The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system. Is this why I get the error code? I can access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas

I am receiving the error code (-50) when trying to access the itunes store. The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system (same PC) and have copied the folder across. Has the switch from 32 to 64 bit caused the problem? Is this why I get the error code? I can, however, access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas please?

When i connect my iphone to the computer, win 7 i get the mtp driver error (Code 31).

When i connect my iphone to the computer, win 7 i get the mtp driver error (Code 31).
I must mention that connecting the phone and accesing it as a camera worked before but at some point it didn't and i keep recieving this mtp driver error. I tried everything including deleting registry entries, reinstalling multiple times, use the log administrators command in cmd, i don't have a pass on my phone, nothing worked so far. Any help would be apreciated.

Yes I did.. Everything is ready. Just when I plug the cable into the phone and the computer nothing will happen.. When I plug it into our "business" laptop immediately it will show that it is connected... With this laptop I am using now, nothing happens..

All the very best,

Error code is 0xc004f074

I have loaded Windows Server 2012 on my server and when I try to activate it I am getting the below
no Key Management Service (KMS) and the error code is 0xc004f074
I would like to change the key that is in there now to a new one but it would not allow me to.
Can some one tell me how to fix this error

You can execute: SLUI 3
This will allow you to enter/change the Windows product key
If you want to display the current licensing status, execute:
SLMGR.VBS /DLV
This will display an information window (you can press CTRL+C, to copy the info into the clipboard)

Unable to boot up my netbook with / win 7: error code: status 0xc000000f

Hi,
I have a mini 110-1133nr netbook w/win 7. I brought the recovery disc from hp and I have to use an external drive to run the recovery disc. The recovery disc wasn't able to run at all. I had changed the boot sequence for the usb frist then hard drive. But I had this error code: INFO the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. status: 0xc000000f. Need help.. Thank You in advance!

You have to set the PC to boot from the usb drive, with the drive connected and the first recovery disc inserted, power up the notebook and hit F9 repeatedly to get the advanced boot menu, select the external usb drive as the boot device and hit enter, see if recovery starts.

MSI GTX970 Gaming 4g Win 8.1& Win 10 x64 error code 43

Good day. I`ve changed my gtx 770 OC from gigabyte to msi 970 gaming 4g. After windows loaded i have exclamation on gtx 970 in device manager - error code 43. Tried clean install new drivers with DDU. Tried all driver from 344.11 to 344.80. Updated bios for my mobo and video. Reinstalled win 8.1 x64 and win 10 tp - same error :( I was thinking that my card is dead and tried to install win 7 x64. And it works perfectly in win 7, no errors.
Any thoughts how i can make it work in win 8.1 ? (tried to turn of gen3, standby and etc in bios. Hypervisor is not active in win 8.1 too)
My Pc:
cpu i4670k
mobo z87p-d3 (f8 bios)
ram 2x4gb kingston
video msi gtx970 gaming 4g ( latest bios)
psu zalman zm600-gsII
1 ssd and 3 hdd

sounds like there is some kind of compatibility issue
have you tried MSI VGA drivers from smi web for your card?
else ask your mainboard vendor for bios update
other options/tips:
* tell S/N of your card and save and upload its current vbios to check for updates
* test the card in another computer with Win8.1 OS to verify if will works there
