Многие люди довольны тем, что Microsoft предложила бесплатный переход на Виндовс 10, при наличии у них уже есть действующая лицензия. При выпуске в 2015 году, многие пользователи воспользовались этой возможностью и приняли предложение. Здесь используется цифровая лицензия из предыдущей версии операционной системы — она применяется автоматически, и людям не нужно ничего делать.
К сожалению, это создает некоторые проблемы, и код ошибки активации 0xC004F213 является одной из них. Пользователи утверждали, что они получили уведомление внезапно, хотя в большинстве случаев это результат аппаратного изменения последнего обновления Windows. 0xC004F012 — очень похожая ошибка, с которой пользователи могут столкнуться при аналогичных обстоятельствах.
В других случаях некоторые заявили, что столкнулись с ошибкой 0xC004F213 во время процесса обновления Windows. Независимо от обстоятельств, ошибка также может возникнуть у тех, кто использовал не цифровую лицензию, а ключ продукта для Windows 10. Проблема универсальна, однако, поскольку в обоих случаях пользователи получают уведомление, которое гласит:
Windows сообщила, что на вашем устройстве не было найдено ключа продукта.
Код ошибки: 0xC004F213
Однако важно отметить, цифровая лицензия описывает систему активации, хотя сама по себе она не является лицензией — она не может полностью заменить ключ продукта. Следовательно, чтобы устранить ошибку 0xC004F213, пользователям необходимо применить ключ, который использовался для активации вашей исходной копии ОС Windows. Так же вы можете купить ключ активации Windows 10 в нашем магазине.
Некоторые пользователи сообщали, они также видят дополнительные ошибки при использовании Windows, к примеру сбои Blue Screen of Death. Если это так, возможно, системные файлы Windows повреждены, поэтому система не способна правильно идентифицировать вашу лицензию.
Исправление 1. Установите все доступные обновления Виндовс 10.

Кликните правой кнопкой мыши «Пуск» тут «Настройки».

Активировать Windows 11 очень просто. Ключ предварительно запрограммирован в BIOS и не требует никаких действий со стороны пользователя. Однако, по словам пользователей, они получат код ошибки активации Windows 11 0xc004f213. Лицензионный ключ помогает пользователю подтвердить, что операционная система является подлинной и что она не установлена на устройстве, которое не разрешено условиями лицензии на программное обеспечение Microsoft. Далее мы покажем вам, как исправить ошибку активации Windows 11 0xc004f213.
Как вы могли заметить, сообщение об активации Windows всегда появляется в правом нижнем углу экрана, когда вы работаете на ПК с Windows. Если вы не активируете Windows, удалить это сообщение об активации Windows невозможно.
Вы увидите одно и то же сообщение независимо от того, используете ли вы Windows 11 или Windows 10. Нажав на сообщение, вы будете перенаправлены на панель активации Windows в настройках Windows.
А без активации Windows 11 вы не сможете изменить какие-либо параметры персонализации, такие как обои, темы, цвета заголовков, цвета меню «Пуск», прозрачность или параметры настройки вашего компьютера. Поэтому, если вы планируете использовать Windows 11 длительное время, рекомендуется активировать операционную систему через ключ продукта.
Как исправить код ошибки активации Windows 11 0xc004f213?
1 Подтвердите лицензионный ключ
Использование неофициальных лицензионных ключей запрещено. Microsoft также несколько лет боролась с неофициальными лицензионными ключами на рынке.
Итак, если вы столкнулись с ошибкой активации Windows 11 0xc004f213, проверьте, приобрели ли вы лицензионный ключ, сертифицированный Microsoft, и внимательно введите ключ перед активацией, чтобы избежать опечаток.
2 Проверьте, активирован ли компьютерный ключ
Нажмите Windows + S, чтобы открыть панель поиска, и введите cmd, затем щелкните ее правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Запуск от имени администратора».
В окне командной строки введите и запустите: slmgr / xpr. Новое окно показывает, что машина постоянно активирована или наоборот.
Если дисплей активирован, значит ошибка 0xc004f213 устранена, если дисплей не активирован, переходите к пункту 4.
Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши значок «Пуск» и выберите «Терминал Windows (администратор)».
Введите и выполните следующую команду: wmic path softwarelicensingservice получить OA3xOriginalProductKey
Скопируйте ключ, затем перейдите в раздел активации в приложении настроек и вставьте его туда.
3 Проверьте подключение к Интернету
Другая причина, вызывающая ошибку активации Windows 11 0xc004f213, может быть связана с нарушением подключения к Интернету.
Щелкните значок Wi-Fi на панели задач, чтобы проверить, подключена ли сеть.
Безопасны ли бесплатные лицензионные ключи?
Пользователи часто могут найти в Интернете различные недорогие сайты с подлинными ключами продукта Windows. Хотя эти ключи Windows выглядят законными, это не так. Конечно, Microsoft оценивает операционную систему Windows по-разному в разных странах.
Но такие сайты не являются законным источником для покупки недорогих ключей Windows 11.
Срок действия этих дешевых ключей может истечь в какой-то момент, поэтому использовать их небезопасно. Поэтому мы рекомендуем всегда приобретать подлинные ключи продукта Windows в Магазине Microsoft или у одного из его авторизованных партнеров.

Are free license keys safe?
It is possible to find various websites on the internet that offer to sell genuine Windows product keys for a low cost. How do they acquire such low-cost Windows 11 product keys and is it legal and safe to use such grey market keys?
Although these Windows keys appear to be legitimate, they are not. Microsoft has priced Windows OS at varying rates in different nations.
There are a variety of factors at play in why Microsoft charges various prices in different countries. These explanations are based on the relative strength of the currencies of the countries in question, as well as other considerations.
The law of digital purchasing is also varying from one country to the next in different countries. Such websites are not legitimate sources for purchasing a low-cost Windows 11 key.
Microsoft does not support it and will launch a lawsuit against the individuals responsible for such websites if it discovers the websites that sell such keys. Additionally, it will deactivate all of the leaked keys in bulk.
It is possible that a cheap key will not work right away, or that it will function for a short period of time and then quit, or that it could operate for an extended period of time if you are lucky!
However, you should be aware that the key you are using may not be legitimate. We recommend that you always purchase genuine Windows product keys from the Microsoft Store or one of their authorized Partners for these reasons.
Don’t be taken in by such ruses. The low-cost Windows key you got from a third-party website is almost certainly not legal. These grey market keys come with the risk of being discovered, and if discovered, it’s game over for them. If luck favors you, you may get some time to use it.
You may go undiscovered for a week, a month, or a year, or you may go undetected for a lifetime – and you will have to make a decision about that.

This activation error occurs when Windows is unable to find a product key associated with your hardware. This could happen after replacing hardware such as a motherboard. A product key is assigned to the motherboard firmware, so it cannot be used on multiple devices simultaneously.
