Activation fails Error code: 0xC004C003

Just followed the Windows update prompts the first time i upgraded , no issues , it activated no problem . I then downloaded the Windows 64 bit ISO file from Brinks tutorial .

Rumor has it that Windows can take a few days to activate , didn't know that.

Also I notice you have Kapersky and Malwarebytes. What else do you have running? You should have all those internet condoms disabled, better yet not even installed until you get a good activation.

I have Kaspersky, Mbam and I use Sandboxie for surfing the web , haven't been infected in many years . I have had these for a long time and never had an issue with activation.

i saw a reddit thread discussing the same issue. Some said Resetting windows will help while some say that their servers are overloaded and can take some time to activate your Copy.

fredc - If you still have that blocked Win7 product key in there, you MAY be better off stripping it out while you wait for activation. I don't have time to look it up but I'm willing to bet that user NavyLCDR can give you the command line slmgr options that would strip that blocked key out.

Thanks , i tried some commands already to no avail. I restarted the computer and still no luck.

How about: slmg /upk from an elevated command prompt?

Just tried it :
