Yes, all of them virtualbox or vmware 9 or 10 are much faster, and better if you can enable vt-x or RVI. qemu's slower than anything else (don't know hiper-v) but for sure slower than virtualbox or vmware, my personal choice vmware, more stable. created a vmware 10 with the guide using w7 32 bit vm with 1gb of ram and 2 cores (they set 256MB in qemu) works almost like real time. Someone more into Virtualization may tell you better hope this helps, it's not easy to do, don't forget to charge it, like I did thanks MDL
Negative. His was a WES7, which is like an embedded version with SPP stuff sprinkled in. It's in VMWARE format and can activate Windows 8.1, but not Office 2010 or 2013. WES7 images are more of a curiosity than something you'd ever want to install on a real system.
They definitely boot faster and have faster hard disk access, but that's about it. The tradeoff is that you'd have to install the big clunky VMware, where qemu runs without installing anything. Even so, I bet with certain options and further trimming, we could cut the boot time in half on the existing KMSmicro. It's just not really worth the effort considering how close they seem to be to working out the KMSemulator source for v6 protocol.
True. At least this time around we know what we can expect/ hope for. Last year with 8.0, each new solution could have been the last, so I tried every activation solution like it was the "ultimate": First with the online servers (including tokens backup), then the VM's (WMware W7/W8, Vbox, Portable Vbox, WES7, etc). Then of course came the 150kb KMS emulator (and murphy78's $oem$ folder!!!) So this time around I still enjoy all the different approaches (Kelorgo's WMC data.dat, online servers and the new VM's), but I will not try *all* possible solutions: Yesterday I successfully created a VMware W7Pro KMS, but today my VBox test failed, so I'll skip that one for now (also no Portable Vbox for now). I have 3 "Free MS WMC keys" 8.1Pro systems and a couple of Kelorgo-W7Pro-KMS6 activated 8.1Ent, that's good enough for me for now!! So once again a big THANK YOU to MDL!!!
Thanks, but I don't need to look at them to know the answer. There is no known way to combine *.dat files together. The fact that they both work on both UUIDs unfortunately doesn't mean much, and is nothing new. Changing the UUID doesn't always deactivate a system.
When I ran the charger the count went up however all were through "Requests with license status initial grace period". The count for "Request for license status licensed" was slmgr/ato. I understand that all is well it was just a question on CODYQX4 KMS Client Emulator for Increasing KMS Server Client Count since before they all increased count on "status licensed". Take a look at the jpg again. Thanks great work and much appreciated. Regards
Just so quick to create your own why would you not use the tool that you are comfortable with. All network, firewall settings etc. are right there and quickly configured. Yes they are faster. No more picomicro required. If I get the time and will I may even install this 8.1 on a computer, I really need half the start button back Regards
You are joking right? What effort would you be taking about? You must agree that KMSmicro is basically a piece of garbage? This is a full kms server ready for action. I find your comments on something good that has been done here and is accessible to all compared to the closed source hidden crap that the tokens have been pulled from not the MDL way. Be as you may, but my thanks go here and only to KMSMicro because someone here was smart enough to extract activation from it! Regards
I see what you mean now. As far as I remember, the Client Emulator has always emulated a system in grace period, not a licensed one, so it's normal that you got a bunch of requests of that type.
with jm287 KMSemulatorUI you can send all types of requests....Licensed, Unlicensed, Grace etc look at his latest source code in the kmsemulator source thread
@kelorgo Is there any QEmu GUI for Windows I can use to create a VM? Did you use any in particular? I know there are a couple available, I just want to know which one you used to recreate KMSMicro
I didn't use any GUI. With QEMu, you don't need to "create" a VM as such, as there are no configuration files or anything like that. The qemu command line you execute is the VM, since all settings are specified. You only need a single file, which is the hard disk image. I created a fresh hard disk image with qemu-image (type qemu-img /? for help), it's self-explanatory. I captured the command line that KMSmicro uses to launch QEmu, tweaked a couple small parameters, and that was it. I included an example QEmu command line in the first post, that's all you need to launch a QEmu VM, assuming you have a hard disk image file named win7.img. However, as of about an hour ago, all of this has turned academic... mikmik38 posted source code for new KMS v6 server emulator. (He is amazing, much smarter than me). Now it's just a matter of waiting for people like deagles and CODY to implement mikmik's source and publish it as a usable program.
So I guess next year, we'll go from reusing FreeWMC data.dat to online KMS servers to KMS VM's to V7 emulation in what, 4 days?
It's already obsolete. Functional KMS v6 emulator (able to activate up to Server 2012 R2) has been released.
