I just formatted a computer. And when I go to activated it. I get the code 0xC004E003. I tried googling it. And I haven't had any luck. It doesn't give me the option to call automotive phone system to activate it. Any Ideas
 


Funny you couldn't find anything in google. I did, very quickly and easily.

Have a look at this:

I already came across that link. That didn't help me. It still want's you to use the automated system When the activation don't work. But the automated system doesn't come.
 


within that KB article it has the following :

Method G: Activate Windows by using the automated telephone system

have you tried this? Without wanting to be rude, and for the sake of clarity, is this a valid/legitimate windows version you have? If so, you should be able to follow the instructions in the KB article, and have no trouble. If it's not, then we can't be of assistance here.
