Resolving The Problem

This error in most cases is caused by missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. You may check under Control Panel > Programs and Features if you have the newest Redistributables, if they are missing usually installing them solves the problem. To download the latest version you can use this page:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
After installing the command licenseactivator [authorisation_code] works.
