How to Resolve Activation Error “0xC004F074” in Windows 7


When you try to activate your client machines having the operating system of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 key management system you might sometimes get the error message of 0xC004F074 having the description that the key management system is unavailable. In some of the client machines this problem has been observed and the people have to face some difficulties. There are some reasons for this issue.



Causes
This kind of problem happens due to the mismatch of the support version which occurs between the client key management system and the host machine of the key management system. The host KMS is used actually as a Windows server 2008 host which is not able to activate the machines that have the Windows 7 or the Server 2008 R2. In the most common cases it has been seen that when the host KMS is running on the operating systems of Windows server 2003 or on windows server 2008 then this error message is usually seen and the client of the KMS is the Windows 7 or the Windows server 2008 R2. You would need to have an update in order to bring the host KMS running on the Windows server 2003 operating system. One update is also required for the host KMS to run on the Windows server 2008 operating system so that it should be able to activate the client KMS which are present on the Windows 7 or the Windows server 2008 R2 machines.

Resolution to this error message

When you are experiencing this type of error message then you can follow certain steps or methods to get rid of this. With the help of these methods you would be able to avoid this error message of the key management system being unavailable.
