Windows 7 Activation Error: 0x8007232B

I have used Windows 7 Ultimate for some months, but as the license delivered with the computer is a Windows 7 Professional - I had to downgrade. You could say that going from x86 to 64 bit is an upgrade  - and the additional functions in Ultimate will not be missed.I tried to activate my newly installed Windows 7 64bit edition today. and got the following message:
Code: 0×8007232B
Description: DNS name does not exist. 
This is a strange error. Read about the solution here.

This solved my problem, and now my Windows 7 configuration is up running. Now I only have to install all applications and copy over the documents. Maybe I this time should make a disk image of the setup :-) I really recommend having a virtual disk with the key applications you need installed. I have that running providing me with access to VPN, mail, intranet etc. This way I stay available even if my setup is not ready.

  7. Another route that appears to work well is to right click on the computer icon on your desktop and then click properties. Go down to the bottom of the page to the area where it says windows product ID and then click on the "change product key" link and then re-enter your product ID. It may take a minute or two but if you have a valid key then your copy of Windows should successfully activate itself. This worked very well for me, I hope it works for you as well. Have a great day!!
