I'm trying to Activate a LEGAL, LEGAL copy of Win7 Enterprise 64Bit! I'm getting an error CODE when I try to do it online:

The Error Code is: 0x8007232B. It says "DNS name does not exist."
I wish geeks would learn how to talk english.

I found the little $29 doodad ErrorEnd. REALLY? M'soft can't give me a free solution? I didn't do anything wrong. Oh! It doesn't really MAKE sense to do a restore, when I never got Windows activated anyway. Am I correct on this assumption. So, I bought the stinking doodad, and it still didn't work! I COULD REALLY use some help here. Welcome to CH. Here you get free advice from volunteers and it costs you nothing.
Sorry to hear you got stuck for $29.

I have installed Windows 7 and Windows 8 and only recently, in the past 3 days, did I start to receive fake messages for me to buy something.

My best idea is to install again. That what I do. I have all by person stuff in another place.Mostly on external drives, but my downloads I keep on flash drives.

Sounds like the copy is Volume Licensed, which would make sense if it is the Enterprise Edition, being that, at least to my understanding, there aren't Retail keys for the Enterprise editions.

Basically, Enterprise Editions will typically connect to a Key License Server in order to activate, rather than the standard Retail Activation Process you expect, at least by default. (a sensible default considering the Enterprise Edition is more likely to be used by Enterprises).

From what I can determine, fixing this would require you to change your product key to a "Multiple Activation Key" Which from what I can determine pretty much similar to a Retail key, in that it will cause the Activation process to connect to Microsoft's Activation Servers, rather than search for a KMS host on your LAN.
