Hi Andy, Did you make sure your command-line is right? I guess your input arguments may have some thing wrong. Please try those steps: Cause: Whilst this is not obvious, this is caused by having the wrong product key. In my case I had installed Windows 2012 server and had not yet entered a product key.

On the Windows Activation screen it showed: Windows isn't activated Current edition Windows Server 2012 Standard Current product key ****-92BT4 Why a meaningful error couldn't be displayed or the option provided to change the product key, I don't know. Remedy: The solution is simply to enter a new or correct product key and try activating again. There are two ways to enter (or change) the product key, use whichever you are most comfortable with: • Use Windows Activation Tool: • Click the 'Start' button until the Start screen is shown.

• Type ' slui.exe 0x3' (without the quotes) • This should bring up the search box and you should see 'slui.exe 0x03' highlighted on the left in a box - click that box. • A dialog box should now display titled 'Windows Activation'. Enter your server product key there, and you should then be able to activate windows from that dialog. • Use Software Licensing Manager Tool: • Run 'Command Prompt' using 'Run as administrator'. • In the command prompt box enter: slmgr -upk and press return.

You should then see a box titled 'Windows Script Host' and containing the message 'Uninstalled product key successfully.' • Now that the previous product key has been removed you can enter a new product key, so in the same command prompt box enter: slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx inserting your product key in the above. • You will then need to go back to Windows Activation to activate windows. • Enter: slui.exe and press return to bring up the Windows activation dialog, from where you should now be able to activate windows.
