    That iso is for Pro. It contains both Core and Pro version, and which one is installed depends on the product key entered. That is the only official non-VL iso circulating for Pro.

    Was only asking, to find out why your system refuses activation :D. Try syncing time in time settings with internet time.

    Probably there is the problem. Tested the servers he used so far and the seem to be down. He can try:

    kms.cc.columbia.edu

    is working atm.
