Are you logged in as an Administrator? You need to be Administrator to install keys (but not to use them).

OK, try uninstalling Houdini and removing the C:\Windows\keys directory. Then reinstall the latest build of Houdini, including the license tools.

It should autocreate the keys directory, but it's possible you don't have permissions to edit the directory C:\Windows, which would cause these permission denied errors. Try right-clicking on the Windows directory/folder and checking your permissions.
