Windows 10 is the last version of Windows 10 introduced by Microsoft and they have announced that there will be no update in the near future. It means that the device could not get a Digital License from Microsoft, which may be due to some connection issues.In the current scenario, most of the laptops and computers come with pre-installed and activated Windows 10 operating systems. This does not mean that the device does not have a valid product key. In case of an unsuccessful reactivation, the following error message is sometimes shown: “ The activation server determined the specified product key is blocked (0xC004C003)”. Sometimes it takes a little longer to get a Digital License from Microsoft, so the device will be activated with a slight delay after the snapshot upload/download has finished. Microsoft sends a Digital License for the device on reactivation. When a snapshot is uploaded or downloaded, the system is activated by connecting to a Microsoft online service if Internet access is available. IGEL devices with Windows 10 IoT receive a Microsoft Digital License and are initially activated at the IGEL warehouse. When a snapshot is created, the system image is generalized and the activation is canceled. IMPORTANT: Microsoft License Servers Should Be Reachable from the Device If not, you can try to restart the device and select Activate Windows once again.
