Windows 8 and 8.1 keep deactivating and reactivating themselves.

I have two windows 8 systems. One is windows 8 and the other is windows 8.1. Both are in older computers that had brand new drives installed and a fresh copy of windows installed on each. They have not been upgraded from windows 7 but they had windows 8 installed directly on them.

Both are experiencing the same issue which is that Windows continuously deactivates itself and then will reactivate itself. 

Neither have had any registry editors on them. They are both domain computers connected to a 2008SBS domain controller with 20 other systems (all windows 7) that are all working fine.

They have AVG business edition with nothing but the antivirus and remote connection components installed (same thing with all other systems). The systems are behind a cisco firewall and the windows firewalls. They are fully up to date.

They were both installed using OEM licenses.

Neither of them have ever had android devices connected to them (I have seen similar posts about these causing issues). I have run sfc and dism on both. On one it claims it finds nothing wrong and on the other it found stuff wrong and says it fixed it but both are still deactivating themselves.

Please help me get this resolved!
