Windows Server 2008 SP2 – Event ID 12321 “Security-Licensing-Slc Token Based Activation Failed”
July 8th, 2009
This may happened I you use a volume-licensed media to deploy Windows Server 2008 SP2 (this was my case). The resolution is to set-up a KMS server on your LAN or switch the product key to a MAK key, find out more here:
