A problem occurred when Windows tried to activate

Hello Simmons,

This problem occurs because the KMS pool contains less than 5 client computers.

You should increase the number of client PC. There should be five or more computers in KMS pool.

To know how many client PC are currently hosted on KMS, please open the command prompt and type Slmgr.vbs-dli.

 

For more detail information, you can check the site.

 

Hope this will help you.

Thank you.

Hello, Jennifer!  This message indicates that your PC could not be activated. Even, it’s reported that your “Key Management Service “ (KMS) is not sufficient. It’s a great problem for your windows. I think to recover this problem, you have to go for a way. Well, you can open run menu and type “Slmgr.vbs/dli”. You can see the current KMS host. You can contact with them for getting a solution. Best of luck!
