Windows 10: View Poll Results: can u activate windows 10?

It wasn't from the free upgrade offer using the GWX app though.

 

That's really weird. Mail restarted working, but the others are still not working.

Just called the Microsoft Turkey support. I don't think the operator understood my problem, but he told me to reinstall the old Windows and re-update. He also mentioned that this is a common problem with Windows 10.
As I'm not the only one who faces this problem I think I won't do the reinstall.

 

Hi, I have Windows 7 ultimate and when i went in windows update history, it had alot of Win Pro errors so i deleted the contents in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download directory and windows update went ahead and downloaded then installed windows 10, and i am getting that same error 0xC004F034


Oh Never Mind, Windows JUST NOW Activated! now where do i see the code so i can perform a clean install with it?

 

so there is a different in using iso and gwx app to perform the upgrade? i thought they are the same. *Shock

 

They do the same, but the free Windows 10 offer will only activate if you first upgrade using the GWX app.

 

I have the same issue.
I'm wondering if its because I bought and installed the PRO upgrade to my W8 home edition.
The W10 update is to the PRO edition but it doesn't recognize the PRO update key?

 

I don't think it's a problem. Your home key became a pro key after you upgraded it to pro.

Still can't update though... I copied the license key, and tried to reactivate windows by using the change key option and paste the same key... No luck.

 

I can't activate a laptop and desktop the error coming up is the software licencing service reported that the licence could not be found or is invalid.

 

Not working for me, upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Cannot Activate.

 

That's the same error I get. As mentioned before, I believe it's a server-related problem.

 

I'm glad i'm not the only one. Tried another method, using over the phone activation that failed too. Guessing too many people are activating today and broke servers on Microsoft's end.

 

same thing here, upgraded from w 8.1 pro and got w10 pro, now it wont activate getting 0xC004F034.
same pic as u posted mine is.
I called Microsoft and after about 1 hr wait I got to speak with this Indian who put me trough to tech after some information. There I installed a program so Tech could control my PC, he did all the things i did +. Phone activation no luck, script that script this, slui 1 trough 4, checked my W8 key and there is still 2 more registrations for other PC so he typed in that key,still no luck. We talked some more Tech name was Red.
So he was controlling my PC doing hes things when all of a sudden he told me we do a restart, and before I got to tell him I was talking with him trough Skype the mouse went down left in light speed and he Restarted, Red was gone.
Turned on computer and the window where Red was connected had dc and he had leftsession.

Not calling again as i just did and the wait is tremendous long.. If this is a Ms server issue would not Tech know about it? I think massive overload due to people activating today?
or not.. l keep bashing the Activation button and let u know if it gets activated..

 

SOLUTION

not even joking guys its a stupid one, after scouring the net till i went gray i discovered a thread on another site which suggested the following:

mash the activate button like crazy!!

out of options i clicked the activate button about 30 or so times in rapid succession and bingo it worked on first attempt!!!
i have no idea why and it doesn't make sense but it works.

Hope i helped *Smile

 

Hey guys, just dropping in to tell you that servers are indeed under heavy load. If you have "connect to internet" status and getting 0xC004F034 error it means your request didn't get through. Either wait or hammer the activation button, 50th time did the trick for me. It doesn't matter how you upgraded and from what as long as you upgraded genuine 7/8/8.1 to 10. No updates necessary vanilla 8 without updates worked for me. Cheers. *Rolleyes

 

I have been clicking for over an hour! No error code just: Windows can't activate. Try again later.

Sometimes it takes 45 seconds or so to tell me this, other times it's about 2 seconds...starting to panic a bit!!! *Mad*Confused
