This product key didn't work. (Error code: 0xC004C003) |
What it means and how to fix it
If you recently used Add features to Windows 8 to get an edition of Windows with more features, you might see this error if you immediately updated to Windows 8.1 in the Windows Store. To fix this problem, you'll need to contact a Microsoft Customer Support representative.
You might also see this error if you're using an invalid product key. You'll need to buy a new product key, or if you bought a PC with Windows preinstalled, contact the PC manufacturer for the original key. |
