activation

[cindylee]

Hi - I've installed Win2k8 server standard and am now getting the following popup.. "License Activation Scheduler (SLUINotify.dll) was unable to automatically activate". This machine is a secured machine and cannot be on the internet. When I go to the Control Panel - System, it shows I have 53 days to activate. When I click on Activate Now, I get an activation window that says "Activate Windows Online now" or "Ask me Later". There are no other options. How can I activate over the telephone? It is possible that I chose the "automatically activate windows online" option when setting this box up - is there a way to change that? Thank you.

Click Start >Run >type SLUI 04 and click 'OK'. Follow the 'Windows Activation' wizard through by selecting your location or nearest location. You should then get the number you need to call to complete activation.

Hi
When I enter this, the window pops up to select a country,
but it's grey'ed out and I can't select Canada. I do get
an installation ID number though - now I just need the phone number. I'll see if I can find it online. I also changed the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL\Activation Manual = 1 to disable Automatic Activation, but that didn't seem to do anything... thanks for your help
