Found a solution:

 

 

 

Disable the Auto-activation feature

 

To disable the Auto-activation feature, follow these steps:

 

1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click

 

regedit.exe in thePrograms list.

 

Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,

 

type your password or click Continue.

 

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

 

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL\Activation

 

3. Change the DWORD value *Manual* to 1.

 

0 = Allow Auto-activation (Default)

 

1 = Disable Auto-activation

 

4. Change the DWORD value *NotificationDisabled* to 1.

 

5. Exit Registry Editor

 

6. Open Command Prompt and enter *slmgr -rearm*

 

7. Restart the computer.
