Can't install High Sierra. It only says this:

I had just a quite long chat with one of the Apple Advisiours about this problem. After i tried everything he contacted one of Apple Senior Advisors who said that a couple of people reported this issue already the past few hours. He even said that Apple's Techninal team was looking into it and is working on a solution.


So it looks like you can't do anything about it. Because it's probably a problem on their (apple) side what will be fixed quite soon. When i asked of he could give me any approximation when the problem will be fixed he said that it normally will cost s a couple of day to fix problems like this.
