Need to check the other stuff it displays - if you don't want to display it - try running the script again and PM me the txt file or the screen dump from the abbreviated cmd.

You have a generic key installed...

Run from cmd prompt admin

slmgr -ipk xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
(where the x's represent your pruchased key) thereafter...

slmgr /ato.

No, the first command installs the key..

The second activates.(i.e. key no longer needed)

PS there is no fullstop after the cmd...just

slmgr /ato
