In this case I have experienced Event ID 7036 from Service Control Manager source with following information:
In my case I have stopped this event from logging by starting the system from Control Panel (the system was already activated), but anyway clicked the View Details in Windows Activation and click the Activate with a new key.

Thanks! This worked for me too.
ReplyDeleteGlad it helped .
ReplyDeleteI have a KMS-server in my environment.
ReplyDeleteI had a WS12R2 server with this problem and after running the command "slmgr /ato" on the server the event didn't occur again and the Software Protection service remained stopped.
I have a Windows Server 2012 Standard which acts as a KMS host. I've run "slmgr /ato" but it didn't fix the issue.
