Cannot activate with our legitimate VL Key

For businesses who acquired Windows 8 Enterprise through Software Assurance for Windows on a volume license agreement, the option to update through the Windows Store is not available. Administrators will find the Windows 8.1 Enterprise installation media at the Volume Licensing Service Center. Windows 8.1 can be deployed to Windows 8 computers using a software distribution tool such as System Center Configuration Manager (run setup.exe /auto:upgrade).

I upgrade from Win 8 Ent. to Win 8.1 Ent., but can not activate with our legitimate VL Key..!

Any idea?

TIA

Hello BigNoter, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You might see if you may be able to change the product key number to activate or activate by phone instead.

Hope this helps, :)

From "SW_DVD5_SA_Win_Ent_8.1_64BIT_English_MLF_X18-96759.ISO", mount and run setup.exe

Can you please add "Can" to the beginning of the post title.

I don't have much experience with volume licenses like this, but you might see if you may be able to get a 8.1 Enterprise product key from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) to use to activate with instead.
