Windows 8 activation Error 0x8007007B

When i tried to activate windows 8 OS, I got "Error 0x8007007B  The File name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect, contact your administrator" error message and tried below commands to change my product key and activation.

Open Command as administrar and type below command one by one

slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

slmgr.vbs /ato

The first command will update the key.
The second command will activate Windows.
Replace the "XXXX" bits with your Windows 8 Key
