Additional Information
If the above solutions didn't resolve the issue, try the following troubleshooting options:
- Check whether a firewall is blocking network traffic to the licensing server. Anti-Virus such as McAfee commonly enables its own firewall.
- Check that Port 27000 is available.
- Check that system date and time are correct.
- Make sure to run Manage Product Keys as administrator.
- If you are connected to a VPN, disable the VPN before activating the license key. The VPN can be enabled after you activate the license.
- Both services should be set to run as System Account.
- Although the error message appears during activation, a record in trusted storage is created. After services are restarted, a key appears on the Manage Product Keys page automatically.
