Is there any one have a same problem? is this Process Regular?

Hi, Yes. The process is that once you enter the KMS Key, It'll validate and activate via the internet. This is normal.Thamara. MCTS, MCITP Ent Admin, Specialized in U.C Voice OCS 2007 R2

Hello, I would open an elevated cmd prompt and run cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv and report back the output. Do you get an error message and if so what is it when you try to change the key?Thanks, Darrell Gorter [MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
