Error when activating Windows Server 2008
Having just installed Windows Server 2008 Standard from scratch on a brand new server, I was ready to activate Windows.
When installing Windows, I did provide the registration key when asked. But when going through the activation process, I got an error.
I then decided to change the product key and enter again the same key as I did during the registration process and that solved the problem.
Please find below the steps I went through:
Activate Windows 2008
Click on Activate Windows online now
Activating...
Windows activation error
Click on change product key
Enter the product key again
Activating...
Activation successful
