I spent 4 days with Microsoft trying to get some helps. I have not see any one post these steps yet. Here are the steps and I was able to activate over the phone. You can't activate windows by phone because you have not put in the correct product key number. Here is for anyone who try activate over phone on machine that has no internect connection. Because you dont have internet, it cant verify it. When you put the license key, it try active the license right way. The reason you can't activate it is because you are not connected to the internet. Can anyone offer some assistance for this issue? Calls to MS support have so far provided no help. There is some documentation on this on google but they did not work. So, is there a separate ISO file for MAK client installations or is there a way to convert this KMS client to a MAK client. I always get the same result which is an error message 0xc004e016 - on a computer running ms windows non-core edition, run slui.exe to display the error text.īasically, its telling me that it doesn't like the license code.

I have learned that this file installs a KMS client version of the software by default. I have installed the software from the ISO file I downloaded from the volume licensing site. I am trying to activate MS Server 2012 R2 Standard and I'm having issues.
