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.

Re: error code 0xc004c015 the activation server experienced an err

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....

OK.....I tried the activation again and it went through. Wierd, but at least
it's done. Good luck to the rest.

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.
