Error 0xC004E015 (SL_E_EUL_CONSUMPTION_FAILED) when you activate Windows

  • Article

This article helps fix the error 0xC004E015 that occurs when you activate Windows.

You receive the following error when you activate Windows:

Error: 0xC004E015 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004E015' to display the error text.

This error occurs because the C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0\tokens.dat file is corrupted.

To resolve the issue, rebuild the tokens.dat file and activate Windows again.

More information

Normally, Windows can create a tokens.dat file. If you get an "Error: Product not found" error, run the following commands to reapply the Key Management Services (KMS) client key:

cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KMS Client Key>
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato

Note

You can get the <KMS Client Key> in Key Management Services (KMS) client activation and product keys depending on your Windows version.
