Why this cmd regedit add command does not work?

Question

Whats wrong with this cmd command:

REG ADD 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation' /v Manual /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

You don't have permission. Only Admins do. – CatCat Oct 01 '18 at 19:34 — CatCat, Oct 01 '18 at 19:34

Did you check this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation

Because Windows redirects HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node
