This article helps fix the error 0xC004F074 that occurs when you activate Windows.
Original product version: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2012 R2
Original KB number: 974998
Recently received a message from Windows Activation Technologies stating that 'this copy of Windows is not genuine'. When I checked Computer Properties both Status and Product I.D. Were completed as 'Not Available' I believe I have to reinstate Windows using the I.D. Key which I have, but cannot delete the 'Not available' entry to enter the 'Key'.
Symptom
- My computer is not genuine anymore and I don't know why. Here is the list of all program I try to open without luck. The window doesn't appear. MsDiag - Windows update - Task Manager - Windows installed package. It happens since the last windows update. I even had the option to upgrade to Windows 10 for 2 month and nothing now.
- Tips: If that is not Product Key Finder full version, users only could preview Windows 10 partial product key codes in this part. Even if Windows 10 is running normally on your computer, Windows 10 users could also run iSunshare Product Key Finder to get Windows 10 product key and make a backup. So you can take it no matter you want.

Cause
This error can occur with a support version mismatch between the KMS client and the KMS host machine.
Most commonly we are seeing this when the KMS host is running on Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 and the KMS client is Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. An update is needed for the KMS host running on Windows Server 2003 and an update is needed for the KMS host running on Windows Server 2008 to be able to activate KMS clients that are Windows 7 or Windows server 2008 R2.
This error also can occur when there may be a time difference between the KMS client and KMS host machine.
