I have updated to Windows 8.1 few days ago. Everything was perfect and working great. Before that I was using (pre-installed) Win 8 Single Lang.

Now it is not activating even when I type the key from BIOS.

What should I do?

Yes but after update it was running and was activated and now don't know what happened it is showing as not activated – Bhavin – 2013-10-31T13:19:45.703

Have you tried to activate it by phone? You should have no problem activating Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 SL license. – Ramhound – 2013-10-31T13:28:12.640

Did you mean by running slui 4 – Bhavin – 2013-10-31T13:53:06.970

So I found exact cause : the Software Protection service was stopped

solution is : To start the service sppsvc in delayed start up mode

Tried Regedit method from Here

Now it is working after two restarts
