ok i googled 0x80072F78 and it give me:
"0x80072F78The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response."

we have patch that we need to insert into kvm that should make the cpuid
of the guest look like the cpuid of the host
i saw at least one program (cpu-z) that this patch make it to work,
maybe it can help with this activation error?
i will check this out when the guy who wrote this patch will be here
