Error code 0x8007000D when trying to activate a Windows server 2008 or Windows 7 machine using any type of product key.
You try to activate a Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 machine using any type of product key.
Running slsmgr -dlv or slmgr -ato from a command line generates the following:
The data is invalid.
Error code 8007000d.
The System account by default has Full Control permissions to the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root and any subkeys.
If those permissions have been altered for the 'Root' key or any subkey(s), we would see the error code 0x8007000D
Assign the minimum permission of "Enumerate Subkeys" to the System account for the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root and any of its subkeys.
To assign the permissions automatically, click the Fix this problem link. Click the Fix this problem link. Click
Run in the File Download dialog box, and then follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.
Note this Fix it Solution works for all languages, however for some languages the wizard text may be in English.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
