Says Windows 8 is not activated after update to my laptop.

So earlier today my laptop was slow so I decided to update it. After this refresh, it now says that my product key is used on a different PC and gives me this error code in the details of the activation: 0xC004C008. He also says "" the activation server reported that the product key has exceeded there unlock limit. ""
I don't see why it does this because I updated my laptop before and I had no such problems. Is it possible to fix this?

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4


2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Windows 7 does not stop after updates

    My computer will not stop after you install updates. What is the best way to solve the problem?

    Thank you
    Cam1956

    Hi cam1956,

    The updates take time depending on the size of the file. If the update has hung so I suggest you hard reboot the computer and see if you can boot to the desktop. If you can boot to the desktop and then the updates are not installed will appear and which will be installed during the next update.

    Run the troubleshooter in Windows 7 for Windows Update turn when starting the computer on the desk, and perhaps that should take care of the updates. Install updates by selecting two to both as the updates and see update is actually causing the problem.

    Once you have identified the update that causes the problem, you can access the link below and install the updates manually.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/GP/downloadover/en-AU#TAB0

    If you know the updates that must be installed, you can manually enter the KB update in the search bar the link to download the update manually.

    If the computer does not start on the desktop, then I suggest you to start safe mode and see if you can boot to the desktop. If you are in the office, do a system restore which will take the computer to a time where it was working fine and then start to install the updates manually as suggested above.

    Go to the link below for the procedure to start in Safe Mode and system restore.

  • Windows 7 OEM itself activated after update

    My HP laptop was purchased in September 2010 and I did a windows update yesterday and its lost its settings in windows 7.  Wants a code for activation but the sticker dissipated.  If I contact someone with prrof of purchase to find the code?  I have all the packages and original invoices.

    Try to do a restore of the system before you start, facing this problem.

    How do I Do a System restore in Windows 7 or Windows Vista ...

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  • Windows 7 does not start after update

    My problem started with an automatic update in the last 48 hours. Worked well previously. After installing the update? I'm more able to start. BIOS works great and then Windows 7 hangs at the homepage. I tried to restore it on several points and now he is responsible for the paper painted and hangs there.

    Under Update installed, the newest I see one is June 11. I don't see the dates for updates of office 2007 etc..

    It starts in safe mode with network fine. I used the windows disk to start troubleshooting and restoration. Any ideas on the next steps? Not a problem before the updates. I'll turn off the automatic updates but you need to know how to precede to recover my computer

    Thank you

    Hi PMMDOC,
     
    I assume that your system works very well after running system restore from the system recovery options .
     
    After the system restore, you can install the updates manually one by one to check the update is causing the problem to occur.
     
    If the problem persists, you can do the Startup Repair by using the Windows 7 installation disc. It will automatically fix problems that prevent Windows to start.
     
    If you want as follows to disable automatic updates , you can follow the steps from the link below. (not recommended)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off
    Alternatively, you can install all updates in a clean boot State.

  • After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Original title: Vista Activation issue

    After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

    and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

    such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

    I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

    It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

    I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

    I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

    It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

    Hello guatamshah,

    If your USB to ethernet adapter does not work now that you have upgraded to Mac OS Sierra, there are a number of things we can try to get it working again.

    The first thing we want to do is to reset the SMC and the NVRAM on your Mac.
