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.

  • 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.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Activation error Error code: 0xC004F074

    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 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)

  • Cannot delete file from external hard drive (error code 36) in Finder, but Terminal is ok

    I have a relatively new Macbook Pro Retina 15" and have a Western Digital 1 TB Passport.  I've been using the passport for about a year now without any problems on older Macbooks in my house.  I used to be able to read and write to this drive no problem.  I am using the Paragon NTFS for Mac software in order to read and write to the NTFS drive.  When I navigate through the drive in Finder, if I try to create a new folder, I do not have a problem.  If I try to delete that folder I just created, I get this error:
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “untitled folder” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)
    The folder has nothing in it whatsoever.  I just created it.  But if I go to Terminal and I run
    rm -rf "untitled folder"
    This works fine.  Why is Terminal acting different than Finder?  This does not happen on my other Macbooks.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanx for such qucik reply!!! The pages were great, it had an answer for my problem, but unfortunately it also involved me dealing with it only on the MacIntosh HD itself, not on mounted external drive I suppose... So it didn't work they say that there is an icon in the left corner indicating locked folder - I don't see any icon on it. It says you can untick the box to unlock the folder - there is no tick to be unticked. Finally, they say that if I don't have permition or rights I cannot delete it. But how do i change permittion which already says that i can read and write in it? So everything appears to be normal only I cannot delete it. there is not even any warnig telling me I don't have enough rights, it just requires the password and after me typing it in it makes the sound of scraping paper but does nothing more. I aslo had some problems with emptying Trash after being seemingly succesful with one file and had got so far to have them appear in the Trash (no clue how this one actully got there though..) I followd the advice and emptied the Trash with Terminal. The Folder is still there but it shows 0 Kb... So far so good BUT: It is still on the external drive, so I obviously only managed to copy it into the Trash!!! Phew, innit a bit too tight to poor owners, this macbook?? I want my rights back!

    Hm, it looks like the file might be open in another application. If you see that file accesss is intermittently denied, you should try disabling the Microsoft FindFast utility.

    Re-installing the scheduler schema tables will fix this.

    Check the log for the request from the manage screen of the DSO, it will be there next to the monitor button.
    Otherwise you can check the error from the monitor screen of the request in Details tab.

  • Some data in ... could not be read or written. (Error code -36).

    Hello.
    I just got a Lacie 512mb disk, and thought it would be ideal for running my iTunes library off of. Got the disk, ran it through its paces, hooked it up to my Mac mini, and I can't seem to copy hardly any files over. Here's one error (but you can replace "iTunes Library" with any song and it's the same thing)...
    'The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "iTunes Library" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).'
    So, I think there's disk or file damage, etc. I boot off an external and run Disk Utility, DiskWarrior and TechToolPro against it - everything checks out fine.
    But I can't copy files from the mini's internal to my external Repair Boot disk or the Lacie 512. Always that same -36.
    So, at first I think it's the mini, then I think it's the Lacie, because it's new, so I reformat it: same issue. And that coupled with it won't copy to my Repair Boot, makes me think the mini again.
    But, I've got a g1 iPod mini hooked up (formatted in hfsj+), and I can copy this file to the iPod mini, but no where else. I not sure what this makes me think.
    And, I can duplicate the file on the Mac mini. In fact, if it's a song file that won't copy (none of them will), I can play it just fine.
    Thanks.
    Mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I experienced a problem in a familiar way.
    After a recording session I tried to copy the complete folder with session and sound files to another disk (original and target disk both LaCie d2 250 FW800).
    Somehow the proces stopped prompting an -36 error over some files.
    When I look up these files in the Finder, it seems to have an iTunes audio-file icon instead of a ProTools audio-file icon (and so other standard app to open with). All the other files will copy fine. The files will play with quicktime in the preview window.
    Any-one a solution?
    Almost seems like some kind of copy protection, like implied earlier in this thread. I hope it's not. These are the originals...
