You may encounter this error when activating Microsoft Windows either client or server edition and then one of these messages appear:

• ”Error: 0x8007007B The file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect”

Once you learn your MAK key, launch an elevated command prompt. Click “Start,” “All Programs,” “Accessories” then right-click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator.” In the command prompt window, run the following command then hit Enter:

• slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

Replace “xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx” with your MAK product key. See if this works.
