When activating a system that has been installed or upgraded to Windows 10, typical errors may occur. The reasons for the failure of the activator are of a different nature, but the solution to their elimination is quite simple. The main thing is that you need to know what the activation errors issued by the system in Windows 10 mean in order to be able to correct them correctly.
Each error has its own unique code of the same name, which is displayed together with a message in the window when the activation process is interrupted. Having decrypted it, you can independently remove the error that has arisen, and continue the interrupted activation of the system. Below we will consider a list of errors by codes and suggest methods for eliminating them.
0xc004f074 - Windows 10 activation error
The error code 0xc004f074 is quite specific and occurs when updating the OS, during the startup and operation of the system or software, as well as at the time of Windows 10 activation. This failure can appear not only on Microsoft products during the test period, but also on activated ones.
The reasons for the error lie in:
- multi-version support of the KMS client and the Host computer;
- the difference between the system time when changing the time zone on the Host device and the KMS client.
To fix 0xc004f074 you need:
Check the time and the correctness of the time zone, and if it does not correspond to the actual one, carry out synchronization. For this you need:
If the error persists, you can contact Microsoft support for help.
0x80072f8f - Windows 10 activation error
This error occurs due to various factors. The main reasons for this failure in Windows:
- incomplete installation or damaged software download;
- damage to a Windows file or program files by a virus (malware);
- deliberate malicious or accidental deletion of files by updating Windows by another program;
- Damage to the update registry due to the installation or removal of software.
Bug fix:
- Restore registry entries. It is recommended that you create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry before performing this process.
- Full PC scan for malware.
- Update device drivers on your computer.
- With cleanmgr, you need to clean the system of temporary folders and files.
Error 0x8007007b when activating Windows 10
Syntax error code 0x8007007b in the volume label, file name or folder name appears due to incorrect configuration of network parameters, an attempt to activate when the Internet is disconnected, or when entering a key for an inappropriate Microsoft product.
How to fix the crash:
Error 0x803f7001 when activating Windows 10
If the OS did not find an active license after upgrading to Windows 10, a message with error 0x803f7001 appears in the window.
- a failure occurred while transferring information about a licensed copy to a remote server with a return to the source;
- entering incorrect values into the activation line;
- an attempt to activate Windows 10 with a key from version 7 or 8;
- PC configuration change due to hard drive or motherboard replacement.
To eliminate this error, you need to check the status of the license:
To prevent this error from appearing and the changes to take effect, you need to restart your computer.
0xc004f050 - Windows 10 activation error
The error code 0xc004f050 appears only when trying to activate the OS during a clean install.
Elimination:
- If you have licensed Windows 7, 8 or 8.1, you must first install and activate these versions, and then upgrade to Windows 10.
- If you have a Windows 10 license key, you can install this version regardless of the valid activation offers. You can also run activation on an already installed operating system.
0x80041023 - Windows 10 activation error
This error indicates a mismatch between the OS and the entered key. The activation process could fail due to:
- attempts to enter a new key manually;
- there was a software problem;
- unintentional launch of the key replacement utility.
Solution: installation and activation of previous licensed operating systems Windows 7 or 8, and then subsequent upgrade to version 10.
0xc004f014 - Windows 10 activation error
Error code 0xc004f014 appears when upgrading to Windows 10 Enterprise from previous versions of OS 7, 8 or 8.1.
The system can be activated on the main PC via the KMS client. You need to take the following steps:
After completing the selection procedure, the error is eliminated.
0xc004f012 - Windows 10 activation error
This error indicates that the service is not running. ... To fix the problem, you need to start the system:
- "This computer" (right mouse button), then - selection in the context menu "Control".
- Services and Applications- paragraph "Services".
- Need to find "Software Protection" and press the button "Run".
0x803f7001 - Windows 10 activation error
The most common error code when activating the system is 0x803f7001.
Causes of the error and its elimination:
- Incorrect entry of the activation key. You need to carefully check the correctness of the numbers entered.
- Inability to exchange data between the server and the user. In this situation, there may be an elementary overload of the server and it cannot receive your information at this moment, or there is no Internet connection on the computer. The solution is network check and reactivation.
- Partial or complete replacement of PC hardware. You need to re-enter the license key. If the error persists, we recommend that you contact Microsoft Customer Support Services for more information.
Error 0x8007232b when activating Windows 10
There are two reasons for the error code 0x8007232b:
Error 0xc004f210 when activating Windows 10
This failure often occurs when the incorrect product key is specified, which is different from the edition of Windows on your PC. This error can be corrected by entering the correct 25-character key corresponding to the version of Windows installed on the computer.
With constant work in various versions of the operating system from Microsoft, a person can face a wide variety of troubles and failures, most of which are treatable. Naturally, in most cases, you need to know the root causes of their appearance. But, there are times when "symptoms" are not so easy to define. For example, error 0x8007007b is just this option, when completely different things can be the cause.
When arises
There are two options when this nuisance occurs:
- Syntax error in file name - when trying to create a system restore point.
- Error code 0x8007007b when activating Windows 10 or other versions of this operating system.
Are there any ways how to fix the circumstances that have arisen. Of course, yes.
problems in the first case
Creating system restore points is a normal practice for most users, since such actions can solve many problems with the active operation of the OS. But sometimes such an action cannot be completed precisely because of this reason. What to do in such a situation? Follow the suggested process:
- Go to the control panel, where you can find the menu dedicated to the installed operating system.
- Go to the system protection item and select the disk where the OS is installed.
- Click on "configure".
Initially, you need to disable protection using the desired button, and then return to the same menu and, accordingly, enable the same function.
This method almost always helps.
Reason solution with activation
It is important to understand that such a disease is present not only in working with the new ten, but also in previous versions of the OS. For example, an error can easily occur when activating Windows 7 or a similar inscription "could not activate Windows 8".
What to do?
Activation error tells us that the wrong key was entered. In the seven and ten it is enough to repeat the procedures with the correct values, but in the eight there is a problem - there is no such possibility. There are two ways out of this situation.
Slui utility.
Would need:
- Go to the "execute" menu.
- Enter the command Slui 3 in the line.
- In a new window, drive in the correct key and continue the activation process.
Slmgr utility.
Necessary:
- Run the command line - be sure to have administrator rights.
- Force the system to execute the order: slmgr.vbs / correct values of the activation key.
In all other situations - just check the entered values. Perhaps a small typo was perfect, which immediately invalidates the source.
If you are faced with the following message: "error code 0x8007007b" when activating Windows 10, then you are entering the key of the wrong OS version or you have a network failure.
In the article, we will take a closer look at the causes and solutions to the problem.
What is this error?
Syntax error in file name, folder name or volume label (error code: 0x8007007B) is a common Windows activation error. It appears as a result:
- Entering a key for the wrong product (for example, enter your Enterprise version key to activate Windows 10 Home or Pro).
- Attempts to activate without an internet connection.
- If the network parameters are incorrectly configured.
Important! Before proceeding, make sure your PC is connected to the Internet. If you are experiencing problems or network interruptions, see the troubleshooting guide.
- First, make sure Windows is not activated. Right-click on Start and run "Command Prompt (Administrator)", write the Windows Script Host executable command: slmgr -dlv
- Pay attention to the line "License status". If it is indicated that there is no license, press Win + R and enter slui 3
- In the window that opens, enter the 25-character key for the required version of Windows (if you are trying to enter the "Home" key for the "Professional" version, it will not work).
- In case you received a notification “the key was installed successfully”, but the activation failed and the error 0x8007007b was not resolved:

To get rid of the loadable modules for Yota USB modem support by the FreeBSD kernel. Add to the kernel config file:
Device miibus device uhci # UHCI PCI-> USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI-> USB interface device ehci # EHCI PCI-> USB interface (USB 2.0) device xhci # XHCI PCI-> USB interface (USB 3.0) device usb # USB Bus (required) device aue device cdce
Then compile and reinstall the kernel.
All of the above is true for FreeBSD 10, but should work in earlier versions too. I haven't tested it yet.

I took Intel NUC DC3217IYE for a couple of days (installed 4GB of memory and 60GB SSD). In general, a good desktop computer is small, does not get very hot, it is possible to install RAM up to 16GB. Can be used as a "budget" server for a small office.
I ran the Minecraft server on it for a couple of hours, then decided to see how well it would hold the same Minecraft server but using VMWare ESXi 5.5 virtualization.
As a matter of fact, the conversation will continue about the installation. During the ESXi installation, I ran into two problems:
1) Lack of a network card driver - I had to do a Custom assembly in order to integrate the drivers into the installer;
2) VMWare ESXi did not want to install because it thought I had less memory than 4GB;
This is the second problem in this article and will go. The VMWare installer can be tricked into installing software with less RAM than ESXi requires. So,
1) Start the installation;
2) We are waiting for the appearance of Welcome (Fig. 1), press Alt + F1;
3) Let's get into the console, enter the root login and an empty password;
4) We execute commands
cd / usr / lib / vmware / weasel / utils rm upgrade_precheck.pyc mv upgrade_precheck.py upgrade_precheck.py.old cp upgrade_precheck.py.old upgrade_precheck.py chmod u + w upgrade_precheck.py vi upgrader_precheck.py
5) In the upgrader_precheck.py file, you need to find and change the calculation MEM_MIN_SIZE;
6) Save and close the file, then look for the PID of the process that needs to be restarted;
ps -c | grep [w] eas 7) Remember the PID that we got in the previous command and kill the process
kill -9 PID
After the last command, you should return to the installer window, if this did not happen press Alt + F2

FreeBSD-CURRENT has been supporting Raspberri Pi since November 2012. If you have any further questions, you can always ask the freebsd-arm mailing list.
What is Raspberry Pi?
You can probably skip this section. But for those not in the know, the Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive ($ 35) credit card-sized single board computer. The Raspberry Pi was developed by a UK company in early 2012 for educational use based on a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC. As of April 2013, more than one million devices have been sold.
There are several Raspberry Pi models
Model B has a built-in Ethernet adapter and contains 256MB of RAM. Model B first went on sale in February 2012 and can be identified by the lack of mounting holes on the board. At the end of 2012, the Model B was updated. Now the board has 512MB of RAM and two mounting holes. Model A was released at the beginning of 2013, it differs from B in the absence of an Ethernet adapter, 256MB of RAM onboard and model A costs about $ 25, that is, somewhat cheaper.How to boot the Raspberry Pi
As of January 2013, FreeBSD-CURRENT supports a fully video console (USB keyboard and display must be connected). It is also possible to boot FreeBSD using a serial console, for this you need an RS232 adapter.After plugging in the keyboard, display, inserting an SDHC memory card, and plugging the power adapter into a power outlet (or plugging in a USB cable to a computer), the Raspberry Pi will immediately boot up.
Anatomy of a Raspberry Pi boot image
The FreeBSD boot image for Raspberry Pi contains FAT and UFS partitions.FAT partition files
1) bootcode.bin - file for the first stage of loading2) start.elf - the second stage of loading
3) config.txt - configuration file for start.elf
4) rpi.dtb - FDT file loaded via config.txt
5) uboot.bin - the third stage of the boot: U-Boot bootloader
6) uEnv.txt - configuration file for U-Boot loader
7) ubldr - Boot Stage Four: FreeBSD Boot Loader
UFS partition files
1) / boot / kernel - FreeBSD kernel (dynamic)2) Everything is the same as in FreeBSD
How to Build a FreeBSD Boot Image for Raspberry Pi
You can build a FreeBSD bootable image for your Raspberry Pi using#vi /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_any_80_site.ru.conf
The contents of the file are the usual VirtualHost settings of the Apache22 server, so if you have already configured Apache, you can easily enter the parameters you need. See my file below
#cat /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_any_80_site.ru.conf
Now restart the service, change the A-record on the DNS server and wait for all traffic to go to the new server.
# serveradmin stop web # serveradmin start web
PS don't forget to change the file paths in the site code and the database connection parameters, if necessary ;-)
