I recently purchased a refurbushied Dell Venue 8 Pro from a seller on eBay. When I first started the tablet and set it up, Windows had asked me to activate it.
Error code: 0xC004C003
This was the error code that was provided. It says my product key had been blocked by the activation servers.
I ran several programs to retrieve the Windows 8 Product Key on the tablet and they all gave me the same key.

I tried using 'slui 3' and entering the key. it had stated that this key could not be used for this edition of Windows. It may be intended for Windows 8.0 and Dell made a mistake in preloading 8.1?
I've done a Windows reset and a Dell Factory Image reset, they both install Windows 8.1 and it still has to be activated.
I've updated the bios to A10 and restarted my tablet, still no luck.
