Step 3. After the opening of the Command Prompt window, type or copy and paste the following command:

This command is very case-sensitive, so copy exactly what is written or it won’t work. The "L" in the Licensing, "S" in the Service, "O" in the Original, "P" in the Product, and "K" in the Key should be capital letters.  After typing or pasting it into the Command Prompt window, press Enter key.
