    Hi FERYAL KURTULUS,

    error 0xc004f050 indicates that the Software Protection Service reported that the product key is invalid. Here are some possible workarounds:

    1. Make sure that the product key you have entered is correct. Please check that your key matches the version of the product you purchased.
    2. Make sure your server is connected to the Internet.
    3. Make sure your server's date and time are set correctly. If the date and time are incorrect, your product key may be rejected.
    4. If you are using KMS activation, make sure that your KMS server is running and that your server can connect to it.

    If all of above methods doesn't work, please try a phone activation. You can see Support Center Contact Info. | Microsoft Learn or run the command SLUI 4 as an administrator in the Command Prompt.

    Hope it helps.

    Kind regards,

    Lei
