    Hi Md. Mohsin Reja

    I need to confirm some details:

    1. What type of Windows license are you using? Retail version? OEM version? Or Enterprise Edition?
    2. Are there any error messages?

    Best Regards，

    Hi Md. Mohsin Reja

    The error code 0xc004c020 means that the Windows activation server reported that the Multiple Activation Key (MAK) has exceeded its limit. This can happen when you try to activate Windows with a product key that has been used on more devices than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow.

    1. You can contact the Microsoft Licensing Activation Centers to obtain a new MAK or to increase the activation limit on the existing MAK. You will need to provide your installation ID and other details to verify your eligibility.

    1. You can use the Activation troubleshooter. To do this, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Activation, and then select Troubleshoot.
    2. You can purchase a new Windows license from the Microsoft Store or a retailer.

    Best Regards,
