Error Activating Windows Server 2012 R2 Virtual Machine


greetings,

i have windows server 2012 r2 standard vm running on hyper-v (windows server 2012 r2 datacenter). i'm attempting activate windows using automatic virtual machine activation described here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303421.aspx. i'm getting following error:

license activation (slui.exe) failed following error code:
hr=0xc004fd02
command-line arguments:
ruleid=a5b3220c-2d48-42e8-9733-0374090e4a25;action=autoactivate;appid=55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f;skuid=f002931d-5536-4908-8d93-40ae584e24d6;notificationinterval=120;trigger=userlogon;sessionid=2

it's running generation 1 vm, created , overlooked generation. here's (redacted) output slmgr /dlv:

recent activation information:

automatic vm activation client information

    host machine name: <redacted>

    activation time: 3/26/2015 9:55:00 am

    host digital pid2: <redacted>



under automatic vm activation client information, host machine name other node in cluster (not 1 it's running on). don't think matters thought i'd mention it. server manager shows "not activated" product activation. appreciated, thanks!

i think found cause. technet blog states hyper-v host must activated. hyper-v host in case isn't activated. should resolve issue.
