    Could you image your usb thumb drive and upload to torrent or usenet?

    i hadn't closed virtualbox
    just shut down the virtual machine
    thats why the changed uuid wasn't saved properly in the two files
    so now i fixed that, restarted virtualbox, rebooted virtual machine and replaced the 2 files again, just to be sure
    still not activated

    i don't know what you are doing wrong? but the activation is as any other virtual image! and has nothing to do with the portable app! i made it first run on my pc
    and after that i tried it portable i uninstall virtualbox for that and only used the portable version.

    later i did it all over again but then only with the portable app i did that to install a English version.... the first one i made was in my language.

    ia'm sorry but i don't know how to help maybe some other members here can help?

    checked my uuid with "wmic csproduct get uuid" in cmd prompt
    it says: 4EAAE283-589E-B14C-AF96-5A8C2FB40232
    which is has a few parts backwards and some garbled

    maybe you can try it and check if uuid (from pdf) and what "wmic csproduct get uuid" says are the same

    never said anything about portable or not
    virtualbox was still running when I edited the xml and vbox files
    thats why it didn't stick

    the uuid shold be
    Machine uuid="{83e2aa4e-9e58-4cb1-af96-5a8c2fb40232} so there is something wrong in one of your files!

    so now everything is as it should be, uuid shows as it should be (used the scrambled one so in windows it shows now as in the pdf)
    even searched and found Windows6.1-KB2691586-v9-x86.msu
    still not activated
    after i replace the tokens.dat and pkeyconfig, kms host should show activated, right?
    just not working for me
    maybe my virtualbox is f**ked up (considering the strange uuid scrambling)

    This seems so much better. I choose the easier way which is win8 based kms but end up with about 7gb file. Definitely the largest fix I ever used ;)

    Now I can't wait for the image uploaded lol

    I can only connect to the kms server (virtualbox) whenever I am connected to the router.

    I read up a bit that I should use host only adapter so that I can connect directly. Still can't get it to work. Any idea?

    Thanks.

    portable kms kms portable.rar.001 (1/85)
    collection size: 833.12 MB, parts available: 3418 / 3577
    - 46 other files

    why didn't you just post some par files to fix this to save you uploading it all again ?

    because the pars and files were corrupted you could not fix them even with the pars so i made it all over again then first tested and now iam uploading.
