So im trying to set up plex on my newly build PC and when i go to generate the keys in CMD... i get this permission denied message (when i try to generate the first trailer key) 

 

C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -out C: railers.pem -keyout C: railers.key -x509 -days 7300 -subj "/C=US/CN=trailers.apple.com" -config C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.cfg

 

Result is:

C:\Users\spacemanps>C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:204

8 -out C: railers.pem -keyout C: railers.key -x509 -days 7300 -subj "/C=US/CN=
trailers.apple.com" -config C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.cfg

Windows has special permissions on c:\ so try changing that to c: emp\

Not to sure on windows but also maybe run cmd prompt with administrator privileges as well?

i get this permission denied message (when i try to generate the first trailer key)


As walhman said you may need to run the command prompt as Administrator, you can do this by right clicking the "Commmand Prompt" icon and selecting "Run as Administrator"

are you running cmd as administrator?

start / search programs, type cmd , right click on cmd icon , run as administrator
