I got the error below when re-installing my Windows 7 license files. I typed ‘slmgr –rilc’ on CMD windows and when I hit the enter key, the error below appeared.
Do you have any thoughts about this issue or how I can fix it?
Help please.

Running the command you used with elevated privileges means executing it using the administrator account or with administrator rights. I don’t think you are using an administrator account. I’m not sure if this error will appear if your user account has administrative privileges. To do it properly, try these steps:
Don’t forget to replace “[product key]” with your 25-digit Microsoft Windows product key. If you don’t prefer using the command prompt, you may use the graphical user interface to change or update your product key. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then select Properties. Under “Windows activation”, click or select “Change product key” and then click Continue. Follow the instructions after that and make sure to activate Microsoft Windows after updating the product key.
