Cannot activate Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise build 9860 Error: 0x8004FC12
I am unable to activate Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise build 9860. I receive Error: 0x8004FC12. I have tried one fix of manually entering the key and manually activating. Below is the result.

Any help would be appreciated.

So after investing another 30 mins doing packet captures, removing and re-adding keys with slmgr etc.. I thought I'd try phone activation using "slui 4".
All worked fine and now activated.. Not sure why it wasn't working with online activation.
