Hello, I get an 0xC004F074 error: "the software licensing service reported that the computer could not be activated. no key management service (KMS) could not be conacted" what should I do?
YMCA: First, check your version of Win8, then if the correct key is inserted, if these two things are certain there is no way to go wrong ... I just test and is online now ...
Come on mate, try it yourself, the most that can happen is not that report, where is your fighting spirit?
When I'm trying to change a key I get another error:0xc004F069 "On a computer running Microsoft non-core edition run slui.exe..." I also done it, the time is correct to my location, and I also tried to change location and time zone, but not success. Any more suggestion? Thank you.
That problem I had with the first installation of Windows 8 on August 2. and finally had to do a clean new installation from an new ISO using a USB Stick. Since I use USB Sticks only which I create with the Microsoft tool: Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool and never got that problem again. That applies for Pro and Enterprise 64bit and 32bit!
Thank you for your help, and sorry if I'm not understandable. The commend is: slmgr.vbs -ipk (and the product key) B.T.W I don't really know what is my win8 edition (is there a way to check it?)
@ YMCA i had this problem before from an attempted fail backup of my activation and after that could not change the key or to activate, end up doing a clean install
Ok...first u should type:- slmgr/upk (this uninstalls the previously installed product key) then type:- slmgr /ipk (and the product key) & for checking version of windows :- computer>Right click> properties
Really thinking of doing this right now. but save it for the lest option can you please give me a link for an good 64bit Enterprise? Uninstall was successful but I'm still get this error. About the win edition check - I know this way, but there is no details about the windows edition there.
