Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) Error

If I try to manage a Windows 7 machine (the machine is in a workgroup not in a domain!) with local administrator account, I get the Error "Access denied" ("Zugriff verweigt")

work around: enabled Administrator account

* cmd (run as Administrator)

* net user administrator /active:yes

* give the user Administrator a password

then try it again:

"Update Status" | "Alternate Credential" |

"Remote computer account information"

username: 169.254.213.148\administrator

password: "password . . . "
