SOLVED: Windows Can’t Be Activated Right Now 0x8007232b – Windows 8
The solution is to:
click START (gets you to the tiles)
type RUN
type slui 3 and press ENTER
yes, SLUI: which stands for SOFTWARE LICENSING USER INTERFACE
SLUI 1 brings up the activation status window
SLUI 2 brings up the activation window
SLUI 3 brings up the CHANGE PRODUCT KEY window
SLUI 4 brings up the CALL MICROSOFT & MANUALLY ACTIVATE window
Type in your product key
Have a nice day.
See the screen shots below.
I just downloaded my Windows 8 Enterprise from Technet / MSDN, wiped the hard drive on my brand new Acer Timeline X, and installed it. I did the same thing with an identical Acer Time Line but on that unit, I had yanked the hard disk and installed a spanky new Kingston V200+ SSD. Both of these laptops had the same problems:
When I tried to activate them they showed “Windows Can’t Be Activated Right Now” DNS error 0x8007232b
If these are keys you found on the internet, Microsoft has almost certainly flagged them. You need a real purchased key. If the keys you posted are ones you purchased, please get back to me and ask me to remove them and then call Microsoft to get them to activate one of them over the phone.
when i exceuted slui 4 command only see united states only so pls suggest for activation windows 2008 server r2 addtion

the following failure occurred trying to use the product key:

0xC004F013
description:
the software licensing service determined that there is no permission to rub the software
plz help thanks
If I had to guess, I would say to confirm your version. It sounds like your copy of Windows is trying to use a corporate license service.
this helped. thanx a lot.
Please help me!! When I did the Slui 3, it says that my code is corrected. But, whenever I proceed to activate it, this pops up! "The Software Licensing Service reported that the product could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information." Please help!!
That means you are trying to use a corporate key. KEY MANAGEMENT SERVICE is Windows Activation Service for companies. The idea is, companies can have their PC's activate inside the company to a KMS server and that KMS server periodically reports back to Microsoft's activation systems to make sure all is as expected. KMS keys have exactly the same format as standard keys but they only activate against KMS servers. If you are a company and you have been given KMS keys but do not want to run a KMS Server, you can call Microsoft and they WILL issue you standard keys.
What if you have the same problem but you don't have a key (my windows 8 came with the laptop and I don't have a key)?
That is an interesting problem. Windows 8 has the option to ship without a key... this is nuts but if gives Microsoft a way to massively reduce theft and costs while also guarantying extra sales a people can't find keys for repaired product like in the case of a failed hard drive.

That activation watermark was driving me nuts. It's gone now! Your solution worked for me. Thanks!
It says "DNS request not supported by name server".

The software licencing service determined that there is no permission to run this software.
Tried all:-
TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF
MBFBV-W3DP2-2MVKN-PJCQD-KKTF7
WWKTN-FQFKB-MP8QJ-BT29X-9HFDW
Tried all activators.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Dowload this Keyfinder Magical Jelly Bean and you can see your product key. Now open windows and right click command prompt and choose 'Run as administrator' and type this command slmgr.vbs -ipk "YOUR PRODUCT KEY"
