Windows 7 Activation Error - Error Code 0x80072F8F

Windows 7 Activation Error - A problem occured when Windows tried to active. Error Code 0x80072F8F

After I have installed Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate edition, I did not activate Windows 7 immediately.
After a few days passed the Windows 7 installation, I manaully tried to activate Windows 7.

But this time Windows activation failed with error code 0x80072F8F.

Since I had downloaded Windows 7 RTM version from MSDN using my MSDN subscription, I had tried 3 different product keys in order to activate Windows 7.
Though I know that three of the product keys are valid, I tried all but the Windows 7 activation error 0x80072F8F occurred each time.
