    I got the same error. This appears to be a new error message code.
    Perhaps just the server is down. I am using my MSDN subscription
    key... I would hate to think I wasted the last 2 hrs.

    You should call the number. There are ways to extend activation, but if you
    have legit Vista call the number and get it over with.

    Hmmm....don't get me started about doing the phone activation. I spent three
    hours on the phone with some guy in India (no lie) trying to figure out why
    my copy (and yes, it is a legit copy of Ultimate (upgrade)) won't activate.
    At first, it showed 30 days to activation. Then it changed to three days
    after a day or so. Now it's back to 25 days. I ahve so many numbers he gave
    me, a case number, etc, etc....

    RE: error code 0xc004c015 the activation server experienced an error

    Can anyone t ell me how to open the activation wizard where they give the #'s
    to put in the 9 boxes.

    Im getting this error that says the server caused an error and no phone
    support to activate windows vista.

    I know that the wizard requires a commnad prompt but i forgot the exact
    command to type in.
