Error Code 0xC004F063 when trying to activate windows 7
I built my computer a few years ago and bought vista right before 7 was coming out so I got a free upgrade disc. I never bothered upgrading until I had to do a clean system install a couple months ago because my computer locked up.
A couple days after I installed vista and upgraded to 7, and before I activated my copy of windows 7, my PSU died. I finally got a new PSU and now when I try to activate my windows 7 I get this error.
Does the 30 days to activate actually mean anything? I ask because I didn't get to activate in the 30 day period since my PSU crapped out on me. Also, I had to use magic bean key finder to get the key because I cannot find my original upgrade case as it got lost in one of several moves apparently.
It says my copy is not genuine but it is. This is what makes me mad about microsoft. Things that should go smoothly never do.
What can I do to get this legit copy activated? I will be very displeased if I have to end up buying something even though this is legit.
Thanks for your help.
