Protection Center Windows Activation
Created: 23 Jul 2012 | 1 comment
I have successfully installed Protection Center but I cannot get it to activate Windows. I have volume licenses for Windows 2008 R2 Data Center. Has anyone encountered this and found a fix?
Thanks

Please see the following article for a utility to activate your windows. You need the Enterprise/Web key, not the Data Center key. (You get two when you have volume license. One is for Enterprise/Web, the other for Data Center)

If you are using a proxy in your environment there are known issues with MS activation. Read the below if you want. The above will solve your issue. In addition you should update to the latest version to correct proxy related issues.
Configure for a proxy ( or Update to version 2.1 MP1 for Fixes to Proxy issues in v 2.1) :
