Installation/Activation Issues
During activation, I encountered the error 0x4004F00C; what should I do?
The 0x4004F00C error indicates that there is a communication problem between the PC and the Microsoft activation server; the causes may be:
– Microsoft’s activation server is offline
– The PC is not connected to the Internet
– The connection is there, but the time and time zone set on the PC are incorrect
To resolve this, check the time set and the connection.
If the problem persists, please send us a screenshot or a photo showing the entire window in which the error is reported. We will then provide you with instructions for solving it.
