Error in Windows activation. i receive the following error 0xc004F063.

Question

I recently updated my bios (Intel Pentium). Windows started to show that it is not Genuine. When I reinserted the serial key it displayed as follows:

I retyped the product key several times. I also reinstalled my Bios. I also tried the command prompt method of Microsoft

slmgr –upk

slmgr –ipk (your product key)

It did not work either.

Please tell me any other way.

Answer 1

Your BIOS may contain something called SLIC (software licensing description table), updating your BIOS may have reseted that and you lost the Licensing store. I recommend you re-create it manually, to do that you must: Make sure you are logged in as Administrator. Click the Start button and type "cmd.exe" in the search field and open it.

Type(fallowing the order of the numbers):

1. net stop sppsvc
2. cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
3. rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
4. cd %windir%\system32
5. net start sppsvc
6. slui.exe

Now you should see Windows Activation dialog appear. Proceed by typing your Windows product key.
