"No Bag Entry" when trying to reinstall Sierra

Was given a MacBook Air (2013) secondhand, with one stipulation being that I delete the previous owner's info and items off of the Macbook before I started using it. Did that to Apple's specifications on their website, but whenever it boots into Recovery Mode and I click on reinstall Sierra, I get a "no bag entry" error after clicking go on the MacOS Sierra screen.

I'm at my wits end, and this is basically my last option before I call it quits. Can anyone guide me?

Solution 1:

Make sure you're connected to internet before you enter the re-install flow. The machine needs to talk to Apple's servers to verify the license, that's why this error comes up.

Solution 2:

You could also update the time via ntp service by calling:

ntpdate -u time.apple.com

This solved the issue for the "No bag entry" error message.
