0xc004e016 Server 2019

[Deidamia Bassiti]

Doyou have a KMS server that is used to activate against and it is set up to activate Server 2019 servers? The last portion of the key in the screen shot indicates you are using a key designed to activate against a KMS server. If not, then you could try:

"Do you have a KMS server that is used to activate against and it is set up to activate Server 2019 servers '--> No, I don't know what KMS server means. I have a couple of Windows 2019 servers on the network.

The screen shot indicate you have Windows Server 2019 Standard installed. Are you certain the key you are using is for this version of Windows Server? The error "0xC004E016" usually indicates the version of Windows installed does not match the key being used to activate it.

I used the same ISO (downloaded from MS Volume Licensing site) for all Windows 2019 installations. No problem. I will forget about this server and set up a new server from the same ISO file and then try to activate that new server.

The other possibility is that you are out of activations for that key? How many license do you own for that key? It if is a MAK key, then there is a limit on the number of times it can be activated. I am not sure of the exact error when that happens as I work in an enterprise and we use KMS server to activate our systems.

According to the last characters in your screen shot, you seem to be using key "N69G4-B89J2-4G8F4-WWYCC-J464C". If that is the case, this is a key for using a KMS server. You may have some systems that activated, but that would be limited. As I mentioned above, if you do not know what a KMS server is, then you do not have one installed in your environment, you need to use a MAK key an that will have a limited number of activations depending on your EA.

I have installed the software from the ISO file I downloaded from the volume licensing site. I have learned that this file installs a KMS client version of the software by default. I have both KMS and MAK keys for this software but since I'm only installing 2 instances of the software, MAK makes the most sense to me. I don't have a KMS host running on my network so I need to use MAK client. However, I cannot get my MAK keys to work when I run a powershell command such as slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx. I always get the same result which is an error message 0xc004e016 - on a computer running ms windows non-core edition, run slui.exe to display the error text.

Basically, its telling me that it doesn't like the license code. So, is there a separate ISO file for MAK client installations or is there a way to convert this KMS client to a MAK client. There is some documentation on this on google but they did not work. Just received the same error message. Can anyone offer some assistance for this issue? Calls to MS support have so far provided no help.

The reason you can't activate it is because you are not connected to the internet. I learn it the hard way. 2012 R2's error is very generic. When you put the license key, it try active the license right way. Because you dont have internet, it cant verify it.

You can't activate windows by phone because you have not put in the correct product key number. Here are the steps and I was able to activate over the phone. I have not see any one post these steps yet. I spent 4 days with Microsoft trying to get some helps. With other user's input and I was able to put together the complete steps.

Ok, I went back to MS Volume Licensing and downloaded the ISO file again for MS Server 2012r2 and I noticed that it was different that the one that I had previously installed. I reinstalled this OS on the server and my MAK key worked this time. So all is good again. Thank you for your input.

That's it. For some reason Server 2012 R2 doesn't seem to sync up with an outside source at all, so until you set it manually, you're going to be off and activation and checking for updates won't work. For my install today the system thought it was November 2014 - 11 months ago!

Make sure you aren't accidentally using the KMS key - that needs to be installed on a KMS server and won't work directly. Also make sure you installed the correct version of Server 2012R2 - some ISOs give you the option to install Standard or Datacenter, but the license key from one will not work on the other.

If that still fails, the easiest thing to do would be to install the GUI and activate it through the GUI, since you'll be able to see the full error messages easily. One of the nice things about Server 2012 is you can add and remove the GUI at any time.

If it still fails, you'll have to call Microsoft support for them to verify the license key is correct or issue you a new one. Contacting wherever you bought the volume license may be easier than calling Microsoft directly - they may know who best to call to handle licensing issues.

Even though the server looked like it had internet, because it could reach the DNS servers. Internet traffic was being blocked by the firewall the client had in place. Once the policy allowed the IP out, activation completed successfully.

Chris, is the issue you are hitting related to AVMA? Is it the retail key that is giving an error during setup of the OS on the host? or is this the AVMA key being used in the guest VM? Are these both using the GA bits of Server 2019 or pre-release? There are a few issues discussed on this particular thread is why I ask. Thanks.

We apologize for the frustration this has been causing. We have several bugs opened and are working through these. Here is a possible solution in the meantime. Since it is difficult to tell exact steps from this thread, here is our repro and workaround. Step #6 is the workaround. Hope this helps.

Windows Server had some promise with version 2008 R2 but it's gone downhill ever since - there's no new features other than the ability to backup GPT volumes with Windows Backup that are of any real interest to the SB crowd - and all of this activation stuff should have been worked out ages ago - in fact it WAS worked out ages ago! There's no excuse for new bugs in what should be the most rock solid part of any commercial software that is involved in antipiracy copy protection of this nature. Microsoft would do well to recall that an entire company - Copy II PC - later PC Tools, - later Symantec - was founded on problems with ill-conceived software "protection"

Same here. Just download 2019 from VLSC and had the issue of not being able to activate post install (server was patched through March 2019 patch Tuesday). Still a bug in 2019 but step 6 worked for us.!!

If your Internet connection is not stable enough, you may experience various Windows 10 install problems, including error 0xc004e016. If you use a wireless connection, switch to a cable connecting while activating Windows 10.

Recently I was troubleshooting an issue with a Citrix PVS vdisk image that had issues activating Office Professional Plus 2016 after it had been set in Shared mode, and the server had been booted.This is the procedure I had to do to solve it.

Windows Server running the Volume Activation Services role can act as a KMS (Key Management Service) server, allowing you to activate computers with volume editions of the Windows Server and Windows 10/11 operating systems in a corporate network. In this article, we will show you how to install and configure KMS Host on Windows Server 2022, 2019, or 2016, and how to use it to activate Windows on client computers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();

To deploy your own KMS server, you must install the Volume Activation Services role on any of the hosts running Windows Server 2022, 2019, or 2016. If you already have a KMS host on Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019, you can use this existing server (in this case, this section can be skipped). Clients running newer Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 can be activated using such a KMS host.
