Can anyone help me with KMSlite by ratiborus? I'm running 1.2 I launch the VM image but how to I set an ip to it? I use the DHCP option but it gives me an ip like 192.168.1.1 which is not possible If I remember correctly, it should be something like 192.168.87.1 or something. I try to set it up manually in the vmware but I get "The following helper DLL cannot be loaded: RASMONTR.DLL so it doesn't change the static ip. Can anyone explain briefly how to setup the ip address with KSMlite? Thank you. EDIT: I made it work. For anyone who's interested, I ran vmnetcfg.exe, deleted all the network interfaces and clicked on "restore to default" or something like that. Fired up KMSlite, used the dhcp option, got the ip address, then put that in the activation cmd file in windows 8.1
Thanks paul44, i already activated it using KMSpico, but I asking about another offline way.Paul Desmond thanks for asking about pyramids, it is OK Really thanks atari800XL
It's working with the AIO that uses the rollup hotfixes I got on TPB right now... It was kind-of the whole point I worked on it so much.
You can toss the $oem$ folder in the iso's sources\ folder. It will auto-copy the contents to each index during installation.
Ok let me make some clarifications about this quotations and reg edit code which seems to have confused people. In murphy's AutoKMS_VL_ALL script there is a line that is supposed to add KMS_VL_ALL.exe to list of windows defender exclusions so it doesn't treat it as a virus or malware however it is not working properly. The correct syntax is as follows : REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Exclusions\Paths" /v %AUTOKMS% /D 0 /T REG_DWORD /F As you can see the whole path of the registry key needs to be enclosed in quotation marks. the $oem$ folder does not need to be inside wim itself it can be placed in sources folder as long as there is not any $oem$ folder inside the wim. So to sums it up : 1) extract AutoKMS_VL_ALL-6.0.3-oem-v2.7z to sources folder 2) modify setupcomplete.cmd and make the modifications I pointed above. I hope this clears it up.
First note that you do not need to reboot for the activation to take effect however if you need to reboot for whatever reason you have to add required entries to RunOnce key so rebooting takes place after desktop has been loaded. Rebooting in setupcomplete does not work as intended.
Now I'm really confused I believe I've been getting different advices but the last ones point to: In other words, I have to keep everything in $OEM$ as I did, including KMSpico_setup.exe, a modified SetupComplete.cmd (pointing to what?) and clean.cmd but change RunOnce so rebooting takes place after desktop has been loaded and furthermore extract AutoKMS_VL_ALL-6.0.3. to sources folder? I tried to explain that the script I used didn't even validate after manual reboot. I had to run SetupComplete manually to achieve a validation but then everything was ok ( I didn't extract AutoKMS to sources). What I'm trying to do is using KMSpico_setup as validation(the first time win is installed) and service. At this moment I'm very, very confused (I was getting $OEM$ into install.wim as adviced) so I need a clear cut instruction about what I should do.
No. You simply copy the $oem$ folder to the sources\ directory of your win8.1 dvd and then edit the sources\$oem$\$$\Setup\Scripts\setupcomplete.cmd to reflect the following quote change: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Exclusions\Paths" /v %AUTOKMS% /D 0 /T REG_DWORD /F It will work with or without the quote change, but it won't add the exclusion to the defender list if you don't add the quotes around the registry key
Thx to Abbodi for pointing out about automatic reboot. This may be done manually though. I have no mandatory need of automatic reboot, I'd just like the system shows validation after manual (or automatic) reboot. I changed SetupComplete.cmd: Code: @ECHO OFF pushd "%~dp0" REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Exclusions\Paths" /v %AUTOKMS% /D 0 /T REG_DWORD /F start /wait KMSpico_setup.exe /verysilent regedit /s RunOnce.reg timeout /t 120 shutdown -r -t 0 popd exit Still, it doesn't work after manual reboot...How come?
