I suddenly get this error on Office 2010 Professional Plus. I had the beta installed, but installed RTM from Technet when it was available. But suddenly, it will not activate, probably because some piece of the beta is still on my system. Any ideas?
Doesn't work for me. When I enter the -ipk command it says that the key is installed successfully, and when I enter the -ato command, I get the error 0x8007232B again and the message that the DNS does not exist. When I go to my PC properties, nothing has changed, I still get the "You must activate Windows today". What now ?
Win7 Enterprise Edition. At least one instruction that worked! Many thanks! No explanation anywhere why error 0x8007232B is displayed, that in the meantime no update fixes this and all other proposals didn't work since on my installation there is no menu item to key in or change the activation-key - only the online-activation is offered - which fails with the mentioned error 0x8007232B.
This is not working for me. When I copy it into the command line as administrator, it says "unrecognized option: -ipk ...." and then gives me a list of commands I can use, one of which is /ipk, which I can't get to work either. Please help.
Works. But will i have to reactivate by doing this every 180 days? If i am not wrong; when there is KMS involved they say one have to re-activate this every 180 days.
Does this manual procedure override this 180 re-activate intervall?
Clarification for any noobs out there like myself. You need to run the cmd prompt as the administrator not the script. So when you click on start and type cmd hold shift-ctrl enter and it runs the prompt as the administrator. Scripts run perfectly after that! Thanks for the solution!!
If you are running command prompt as Admin (which you can also do by right-clicking the shortcut and "run as Administrator") and you are still getting the same error the you need to make sure the key is valid. Use either the key off the top of your computer or the MAK provided by your organization. If you try to pull off the key already in the system, you will get the same error because Windows 7 uses a default KMS client key when you don't input any key during setup. In addition, if your network admin gave you a KMS but isn't running a KMS server on the network, you will still have problems. Get the MAK key.
awesome. this worked for me like a charm as well- had an academic license of windows 7 that kept on barking at me with the same error code. much thanks!

ReplyDelete@Anonymous - did you run it as admin?
ReplyDeleteVery nice solution! Thanks.

ReplyDeleteShould work with the enterprise edt too... Sure you have a valid Serial?

It worked the SECOND time around.
ReplyDeleteI guess I mistyped the serial number the first time and got a "DNS does not exist" error.
Thanks a lot for this tip - I just wonder why MS does not provide essential information like this.
it tell me that DNS IS NOT EXSIT wtf!?!?
ReplyDeleteThank you, worked perfectly :)
