Causes and resolutions

0x8004FE21 This computer is not running genuine Windows

Possible cause

This issue can occur for several reasons. The most likely reason is that language packs (MUI) have been installed on computers that are running Windows editions that are not licensed for additional language packs.

Note

This issue is not necessarily an indication of tampering. Some applications can install multi-lingual support even when that edition of Windows is not licensed for those language packs.)

This issue may also occur if Windows has been modified by malware to allow additional features to be installed. This issue may also occur if certain system files are corrupted.

0xC004F035 Invalid Volume License Key

The full text of this error message resembles the following:

Error: Invalid Volume License Key. In order to activate, you need to change your product key to a valid Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Retail key. You must have a qualifying operating system license AND a Volume license Windows 7 upgrade license, or a full license for Windows 7 from a retail source. ANY OTHER INSTALLATION OF THIS SOFTWARE IS IN VIOLATION OF YOUR AGREEMENT AND APPLICABLE COPYRIGHT LAW.

The error text is correct, but is ambiguous. This error indicates that the computer is missing a Windows marker in its BIOS that identifies it as an OEM system that is running a qualifying edition of Windows. This information is required for KMS client activation. The more specific meaning of this code is 'Error: Invalid Volume License Key'

Possible cause

Windows 7 Volume editions are licensed only for upgrade. Microsoft does not support installing a Volume operating system on a computer that does not have a qualifying operating system installed.

Resolution

In order to activate, you need to do one of the following:

  • Change your product key to a valid Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Retail key. You must have a qualifying operating system license AND a Volume license Windows 7 upgrade license, or a full license for Windows 7 from a retail source.

    Note

    If you receive error 0x80072ee2 when you attempt to activate, use the phone activation method that follows instead.

  • Activate by phone by following these steps:
    1. Run slmgr /dti and then record the value of the Installation ID.
    2. Contact the Microsoft Licensing Activation Centers and provide the Installation ID in order to receive a Confirmation ID.
    3. To activate by using the Confirmation ID, run slmgr /atp <Confirmation ID>.

0xC004F038 The count reported by your Key Management Service (KMS) is insufficient

The full text of this error message resembles the following:

The Software Protection Service reported that the computer could not be activated. The count reported by your Key Management Service (KMS) is insufficient. Please contact your system administrator.

Possible cause

The count on the KMS host is not high enough. For Windows Server, the KMS count must be greater than or equal to 5. For Windows (client), the KMS count must be greater than or equal to 25.

Resolution

Before you can use KMS to activate Windows, you must have more computers in the KMS pool. To obtain the current count on the KMS host, run Slmgr.vbs /dli.

0xC004F039 The Key Management Service (KMS) is not enabled

0xc004e016 Windows 10 Activation Key Generator

The full text of this error message resembles the following:

The Software Protection Service reported that the computer could not be activated. The Key Management Service (KMS) is not enabled.

Possible cause

KMS did not respond to the KMS request.

Resolution

Troubleshoot the network connection between the KMS host and the client. Make sure that TCP port 1688 (default) is not blocked by a firewall or is otherwise filtered.

0xC004F041 The Software Protection Service determined that the Key Management Server (KMS) is not activated

The full text of this error message resembles the following:

The Software Protection Service determined that the Key Management Server (KMS) is not activated. KMS needs to be activated.

Possible cause

The KMS host is not activated.

Resolution

Activate the KMS host by using either online or telephone activation.

0xC004F042 The Software Protection Service determined that the specified Key Management Service (KMS) cannot be used

Possible cause

This error occurs if the KMS client contacted a KMS host that could not activate the client software. This can be common in mixed environments that contain application-specific and operating system-specific KMS hosts, for example.

Resolution

Make sure that if you use specific KMS hosts to activate specific applications or operating systems, the KMS clients connect to the correct hosts.

0xC004F050 The Software Protection Service reported that the product key is invalid

Possible cause

This can be caused by a typo in the KMS key or by typing in a Beta key on a Released version of the operating system.

Resolution

Install the appropriate KMS key on the corresponding version of Windows. Check the spelling. If the key is being copied and pasted, make sure that em-dashes were not substituted for the hyphens in the key.

0xC004F051 The Software Protection Service reported that the product key is blocked

Possible cause

The activation server determined that Microsoft has blocked the product key.

Resolution

Obtain a new MAK or KMS key, install it on the system, and activate.

0xC004F064 The Software Protection Service reported that the non-genuine grace period expired

0xc004e016

Possible cause

Windows Activation Tools (WAT) has determined that the system is not genuine.

Resolution

For assistance, contact the Microsoft Licensing Activation Centers.

0xC004F065 The Software Protection Service reported that the application is running within the valid non-genuine period

Possible cause

Windows Activation Tools has determined that the system is not genuine. The system will continue to run during the Non-Genuine grace period.

0xC004F06C The request timestamp is invalid

The full text of this error message resembles the following:

The Software Protection Service reported that the computer could not be activated. The Key Management Service (KMS) determined that the request timestamp is invalid.

Possible cause

The system time on the client computer is too different from the time on the KMS host. Time sync is important to system and network security for a variety of reasons.

Resolution

Fix this issue by changing the system time on the client to sync with the KMS host. We recommend that you use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) time source or Active Directory Domain Services for time synchronization. This issue uses UTP time and does not depend on Time Zone selection.

0xC004F074 No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted

The full text of this error message resembles the following:

The Software Protection Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.

Possible cause

All of the KMS host systems returned an error.

Resolution

In the Application Event Log, identify each event that has Event ID 12288 and is associated with the activation attempt. Troubleshoot the errors from these events.
