- I have clean installed Windows 10 Pro many times (to fresh install Windows 10 new feature updates) in my machine using the same product key and never faced any activation issues. Surprisingly Windows 10 started showing ' Windows is not activated.
- Available' and 'Product ID not available.' I was on the phone with. After 2 hours of trying to activate Windows they obtained the latest activation code, as I said before, the fourth.

Activation helps verify that your copy of Windows is genuine and hasn't been used on more devices than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow. When you get a message that says Windows can't be activated, there are several possible reasons why.
Select any of the following topics to see some typical reasons for activation difficulty, along with possible ways to get going again.
Missing product key or digital license
Windows 10 activation requires either a 25-character Windows product key or a Windows digital license.
Windows 10 Product Id Vs Product Key
Find out which activation method your device uses and where to find it.
A different product key or version of Windows was used during repair
If your PC was repaired or rebuilt, it's possible that a different version of Windows was installed. Or, if a different product key was used for your PC during repair, that key might have been used on more PCs than allowed by the Microsoft Software License Terms.
If Windows was activated before your PC was repaired or rebuilt, reinstall your original version of Windows and re-enter the product key included with your PC or original copy of Windows.
One copy of Windows was installed on multiple PCs
If you have one copy of Windows and you installed it on more than one PC, activation might not work. The product key has already been used on more PCs than allowed by the Microsoft Software License Terms.
To activate new additional PCs, you must buy a new product key or copy of Windows for each one.
Counterfeit software
Activation works with genuine copies of Windows. A counterfeit is a copy that wasn't published and licensed by Microsoft.
The Microsoft How to Tell website can help you determine whether your copy of Windows is genuine or counterfeit. If it is counterfeit, you must buy a new copy of Windows.
A pre-owned PC
If you bought a PC with Windows already installed, it's possible that the seller used the product key on more PCs than allowed by the Microsoft Software License Terms.
Ask the seller for the original Windows DVD and product key. If the DVD and product key aren't available, or if you tried them and still can't activate your PC, you must buy a new product key or another copy of Windows.
Hardware changes
If you made substantial hardware changes to your PC, such as replacing your hard drive or motherboard, Windows might no longer be activated. For Windows 10 (version 1607 or later), you can add your Microsoft account to help you reactivate Windows 10 after making a hardware change.

(Solved) - Windows Activation status drops out
(13 posts)After many months of normal useage I've started getting nag screens informing me that my copy of Win 7 is not genuine (it is by the way). On checking the 'system' tab in Control Panel, the Activation status is 'unknown' and the Activation key is missing. HOWEVER, if I leave that window open for about 5 sec, it seems to auto refresh and the Activation key appears. If I close the window and then reopen it, the data is gone again (for about 5 sec).
Any clues what is going on and what I can do about it?
I cannot recall any action/deletion/installation that might be associated with this either.

Thanks for that info. Unfortunately that service is already set at automatic and when running does not prevent the problem from happening. Another feature that is missing is the 'Windows Experience Index' which also reappears after the mysterious auto-refresh.
Please tell me or post a picture of the contents of the Administrative Events Log.
You can Clean the Log by making a Clean.bat file with this script and Run AS Administrator.
@echo off
FOR /F 'tokens=1,2*' %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)(Access) goto noAdmin
for /F 'tokens=*' %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear '%%G')
echo.
echo Event Logs have been cleared! ^
goto theEnd
:do_clear
echo clearing %1
wevtutil.exe cl %1
goto :eof
:noAdmin
echo You must run this script as an Administrator!

Not sure how to do a screenshot and (as you suspected) the log is pretty full of old entries. However here are the details relating to the (daily) error associated with Windows Activation:

Click Start
Zbrush 4r7 keygen download. Type in: CMD
Right Click CMD
Click Run as Administrator
At Command Prompt
Type in: sfc/scannow and Press Enter Key.
What Happens ????
İsn't there supposed to be a space between sfc and scannow? sfc /scannow
Space not needed in this instance, but most commands do need the space, so it is normal practice to include it. Saves remembering which ones do, and which don't.
Hmmm can not even say that the explanation sounds Greek to me,as i speak the language.
Oh well!
The result was:
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Many thanks for that info. I followed the instructions and everything seemed to go as per the plan. I ended up with a window confirming that my copy of Win7 is valid and activated.
MGADiag gave a positive result.
Another case solved raphoenix!
Thank you again.
