    Sometimes it help to shine the torch (flash light) at a angle with a magnifying glass.

    Make sure you write the COA key down big and bold and save it in a safe place.

    That's exactly how I read the sticker's micro-print. I also copy 5 characters, skip line, copy 5, etc. Makes it easier to follow & reenter all 25 characters. Helps prevent transposition and errors such as typing "C" instead of "G". By the way, product key doesn't include A, 1 (one) & 0 (zero)

    My usual boilerplate...
    0xC004F050 usually means that you've misread a character - either C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common, an O/0 is almost always a Q

    Note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like the noise it makes :)
