This is using an MSDN account to get an iso for Windows 8 Pro.
When I get online and try and activate it says:
"Windows can't be activated right now. Try activating Windows later. If this issue persists, contact your administrator or technical support department for assistance."
Error Code: 0xC004F074

"The time zone that is set on the client computer does not affect Activation, since that is based on UTC time.. "
Once small part about the time... so I changed the clock (it was off by a few hours) and voila, it fixed itself and allows activation.
Super lame that this can even exist, but at least it's solved.
