Activation fails using automated phone system

I've used a MAK to activate several Windows Server2012 R2 machines using the automated phone system. On one machine, I enter the confirmation ID and get the "Thanks, you're all done" message, but when I check using slmgr, it still shows Unlicensed.
I've tried using slmgr /atp <confirmation ID>, and get "Error: Product activation failed." I believe I am entering the correct confirmation ID, because if I change it I get an error message that the confirmation ID is invalid.
Any ideas on where to look at why product activation is failing would be appreciated!

Hi bmoranb,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue? Any update?
I agree with Tim. MAKs by design have a limited number of activations. I suggest that you should contact the
Microsoft Activation Call Center.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

  • What is the email for the covent garden apple store (UK), if not apple uk. I am in canada and need to contact THIS store (for an insurance claim) and the phone system won't work for a long distance call.

    I am currently living in Canada (but I am from the UK).
    I lost my iphone 4S 32GB a couple of weeks ago and I need to try and prove to my insurance company that the iphone was a 32GB.
    I was told by an apple store near where i live that the original store where i purchased my iphone may be able to find records on my phone and print out a receipt for me. I can't get through to the Covent Garden apple store in london (where i brought the phone), because the automated phone system that apple uses doesn't seem to like long distance phone calls.
    Is there an email for the covent garden store, or for apple uk? I tried toi chat to an apple advisor online, but because of my location i got put through to apple USA.

  • Automated answering systems don't recognize my input

    Just placed my first call call to a company with an automated phone system, using my new Incredible 2.   As usual, the answering system asked me to select among the menu items, and key in a number.  I keyed in the number as usual.  The automated system was unable to detect my input.  
    I'm surprised the phone's default settings don't include this function.  What do I need to do?  Help!

    Hello LynnBR!
    I know how important it is to be able to successfully navigate through an automated answering system, especially when you're trying to get to a specific department or person!  I am happy to assist.
    There's a quick step you can take to ensure the automated system recognizes your entries from your DROID Incredible 2.  From the main screen, touch Menu > Settings > Sound > Audible touch tones > and select "Long".
    I trust I have answered your question, and have addressed your concern.

  • Error: Failed To Read Phone's File System

    I'm using PC Suite 7.0.8.2 on XP SP3 connected to a Nokia 6300.
    I keep getting an error message when I click on Nokia Video Manager. The message states "Failed to read phone's file system. Internal error occurred". Video manager then hangs. I see it in the XP task bar but no window ever appears.
    I've tried connecting the phone via Bluetooth and USB with the same message.
    With no phone connected I should still be able to use Video Manager to convert videos and store them on my PC, but it still hangs (without the phone file system error message), so it looks like perhaps more of an issue with Video Manager than with my phone. It was working a few days ago.
    I've tried running the PC Suite installer and selecting the repair option, but that didn't help.
    Not sure what to try next. I did a search on the error message phrase in these forums but nothing turned up.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I have messed around and found some sort of solution.
    What seemed to be happening was the phone was creating conflicting folders on the memory card.When anew video was created the phone created a folder named video clips and stored the new video in there.
    So what I did was move all videos out of the Videos and video clips folders so that they were just on the memory card when you open it, then delete the folder named videos leaving the other video clips.
    Now when you go to video manager it can read the videos.
    However you may still get the error message but at least you can now transfer stuff.

    I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..   

  • I have not used my CS3 version for about 3-4 years.  I tried to use it recently and I get a message about activation.  Called the phone number recommended but no longer in use.  How do I start using MY version I paid for?  Using PC

    Can you activate CS3. If you lost your serial you can retrieve it from Adobe.com. Sign in at Adobe.com the use this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html When your Adobe Product list is displayed click on your CS3 product your serial number should be displayed.

  • Use Automator to Change a System Setting

    Hi there,
    I was just wondering if there was anyway to use Automator to be able to click one button and be able to turn off/on the F1, F2, F3 etc... functions, so I am able to use F1, F2, F3 etc... when I need it ( mostly using Pro Tools ) and when i'm finished use the Brightness, Volume etc.....
    Thanks Craven

    Here is an AppleScript that will do this: 
    tell application "System Preferences" to activate
    tell application "System Preferences"
              reveal anchor "input" of pane id "com.apple.preference.sound"
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
              tell table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
                        select (row 1 where value of text field 1 is "Internal microphone")
              end tell
    end tell
    quit application "System Preferences"
    You can put this into an AppleScript in AppleScript Editor (it's in Utilities), or run it in Automator.
    The simplest way would be to save it as an AppleScript application and use that as a login item.
    I wrote it up as a standalone AppleScript application called "InputMic" and saved it to my dropbox. You can download it here if you like: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/assrkjdvns0lj9m/RjP7Mc2HcM
    You can put it in your Applications folder and set it as a Login Item in system preferences > Users & Groups.
    Or drag it to the dock and then run it manually, or both. It will ask for your permission to run as an accessability item in Security & Privacy settings; just click the lock in the left corner, check the box next to InputMic, and then close the lock.

  • I am currently in Cameroon, Africa and after arriving here, I added Global services to my plan in hopes to be able to use my phone to call local numbers.  When I dial local numbers in Cameroon, with or without the country code, the call fails.  I suspect

    I am currently in Cameroon, Africa and after arriving here, I added Global services to my plan in hopes to be able to use my phone to call local numbers.  When I dial local numbers in Cameroon, with or without the country code, the call fails.  I suspect it may be that the phone is 3G and this area only supports 2G.  Help!

    cctga,
    We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble while traveling. We definitely want to make sure you have all available options. Normally when traveling internationally we reccommend setting up international services prior to leaving. When you added the services did you do so online or with a rep? It would be best to contact our global department in order to troubleshoot any and all issues with services while international http://vz.to/17KseUf.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • How to manipulate and use cell phone operating systems

    I have recently been messinga round with Netbeans 5.0 beta 2 with the MIDP pack. I am really enjoying it, but I am confused on something.
    I have an idea for a program that I want to create, but I want to be able to use it in an actual operating system. For instance, cingular, verizon, etc. all have phones that have operating systems on them. I don't know if they are operating systems as much as user interfaces. I want to know how I would be able to program an application for these systems specifically. Is there a way that you can access the code for these or anything like that? I really don't know how to ask this because I do not know much about the cell phone systems. Could somebody please inform me. Thank you.

    I hate that word only.
    There is no "ONLY" in the world of software. :P, well, I don't like the word "manipulate" either, so any disencourigement would be on it's place ;)
    There are ways to get to the lower level stuff but I
    believe that most Java developers would discourage
    it. The problem with it is that writing for that
    level means that the os is stable. Which is not the
    case. What would that have to do with anything? Palm OS, Symbian, an windows mobile (and even linux), are all stable. The other devices, simply don't have an OS, or at least, don't have an open OS where you can do stuff with. That's the real problem.
    Sure the os that the system uses may be
    excellent. But the next version of the hardware
    might not have the same underlying os. Try writing a
    program for a palm pro and running it on a new palm.
    Backwards compatible is not always there. Since the
    e rate of output from hardware developers is not
    slowing I'd avoid this. That's why you sould keep to api's. They ensure compatibility. Sure it might low stuff down sometimes, but who cares?
    Having said that. There is nothing like writing some
    low level code that pushes the edges of the hardware
    in directions even the os builders didn't think to
    go. Mind you java might not be the tool to do that.Very true, but this is out side of the scope of this forum, and therefor irrelevant.
    If you really want to do low level code, buy a nice cpu, make your own PCB and start programming without any api's, or even do it in assembler!
