Windows Activation Error code 0x8007232b

If you get the activation error “0x8007007b” or “0x8007232b” when you attempt to activate your Windows 8, then most likely you use a generic Windows product key throughout installation and the activation wizard cannot locate a legitimate KMS (Key Management Server) to activate your copy. Although these are basically 2 different errors they are primarily associated, both this error codes only show up when attempting to activate Windows 8.

Error 0x8007232B generally appears because of DNS server problems. Windows 10 was unable to gain access to Microsoft’s servers and activate.
