Hi Tron, Make sure you register the following dll's which are responsible for lincensing. licdll.dll and regwizc.dll, i would suggest calling microsoft to understand more about the licensing terms. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/contact-us.aspx

Hi Sainath we can't logon with remote desktop (server is on other location - I test afternoon it with F8) licensing: we have an EA and Select Service. Product Key is the same, Server is 2003 and was not changed. Chris

Hi Chris, 1. Please boot the server in Safe mode with Networking. 2. Register the following dll files from c:\windows\system32: regsvr32 licwmi.dll regsvr32 regwizc.dll regsvr32 licdll.dll regsvr32 jscript.dll regsvr32 vbscript.dll regsvr32 msxml.dll regsvr32 shdocvw.dll regsvr32 softpub.dll regsvr32 wintrust.dll regsvr32 initpki.dll 3. Initiate the activation tool by creating new dword value under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Win logon - dword value named : Activation Required - set the dword value as : 1 4. Rename the WPA.DBL file via command line: ren c:\windows\system32\WPA.dbl wpadbl.old ren c:\windows\system32\wpa.bak wpabak.old expand cd drive:\i386\wpa.db_ c:\windows\system32\wpa.dbl 5. Run the activation tool by running c:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A to activate "Windows Product Activation". Tim Quan
