Unable to activate Windows 8 Enterprise
I'm having trouble with Windows 8 Enterprise activation. When I try to activate Windows, I receive the following error:
Steps I've completed so far:
- downloaded Windows 8 Enterprise x64 iso image from partner site
- burned the iso image to DVD and installed it on Dell Inspiron laptop
- input the partner product key via command line (slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx)

unfortunately your proposed solution did not work (same 0xD0000452 error message again) but I managed to activate the product via telephone.
I initiated a chat with Microsoft Support and the support engineer suggested to run the following command:
slui.exe 4
This command brings up the activation by telephone dialog window (I could not access it via activation center), and the phone activation worked flawlessly.
Thank you for your time!
