Probably defaults to a KMS key, and is looking for a KMS server, which there is not one on the internet.
Pretty standard for MS Enterprise OS clients. Odd to not ask for one at all, or let you change it through control panel app pre-activation.
Run an elevated CMD window and execute slmgr.vbs -ipk "YOUR_PRODUCT_KEY". Now you can use the activation wizard found in the control panel.
Good call. Same commands from back in the day when Win 7 and 08 R2 came out and we had to learn how to build KMS server.
What also works, if you would prefer to see the pretty GUI, use the -upk switch (uninstall product key) then go back to the GUI activator. It will prompt you to enter a new product key.

Update: You can also open a CMD prompt and type:
Hello
DO not use UPK, you can put your machine in a bad state, and there is no reason to use it. It's completely un-needed for this scenario.

- Slui 3 {Change product key}
- Slui 4 {Activate by phone}
Thank you, I called MS as well as ran the VB script and neither worked.
This solution did however.
Yep, "slui 3" ftw!

I have found this to be the same on the Volume Licensing Professional version as well. Maybe Microsoft needs to make build 9201. LOL
"Slui 3" is my new favorite friend!

*** Easiest way to Activate Windows 8 ***
Perform the steps mentioned below to activate.
a: Right Click at the bottom left of the screen and select Run.
b: Now type "Slui 3" in the Run dialog box and hit enter.
c: Enter your new key. (If valid you get: "Your product key works!")
d: Click <Activate>
That's it, quick and simple. (If not totally silly that we have to do it this way.)
A small "tutorial" for this can be found here :

Windows key + R
type "slui 3" (a nice window will appear asking for your key)
type "<your key>"
It'll validate the key, then ask you to validate. When it is done it will tell you so.
I got this from another forum. This is the second time I have had to do this tonight due to a Hyper-V, Gigabyte Motherboard (GA-EX58-UD3R Rev. 1.0, BIOS F11) problem where Windows 8 keeps hanging after I enable Hyper-V on reboot. I have to hard reset, the boot sector gets clobbered, then I have to restore to the "System Restore Point" I set up (I am learning :-P).

If anybody has THAT answer please direct me to the proper authority. I am going to try this again now that it is activated to see if THAT is the cause. (probably not, but what the heck...)
Cheers!
