Activation Issue - The following Failure occurred while trying to use the product by: Code: 0x80070005 Description: Access is denied

Hello ALL,

Today I was reading some old emails with the solutions done and I would like to share another issue it happens all the time. Hope it helps.

Issue

==========

Sometimes you may have Access Denied message when you're trying activate your Windows edition.

The message error is:

Invalid Product key

The following Failure occurred while trying to use the product by: Code: 0x80070005 Description: Access is denied.

  • Probably if you have facing an issue like this one if you try run the command (even using Administrator account) "slmgr.vbs /dlv" on the server the activation error will show you the following message:

  • For this case the best way is use one generic key to try install it and check if the Windows recognize it. After activating with that generic key we will be able to install the correct one to activate the Window properly.

        C:\Windows\System32>cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk 489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3Y
