SL_E_CHPA_DATABASE_ERROR

SL_E_CHPA_DATABASE_ERROR (0xc004c013) is a Windows Software Licensing activation-service code. The activation service reported a database-side error. This is not normally repairable on the local client; gather the local activation state and retry later or escalate through the appropriate licensing channel.

What to check

  • Check local activation status and record the exact HRESULT.
  • Verify the date, time, and network path so a local prerequisite is not masking the issue.
  • For enterprise activation, have the licensing administrator review the service-side records.
