I guess it unregisters the KMS server when it is done (see /skms and /ckms commands). /ato then tries to find a KMS server via DNS, since that's the default when none is set. As I don't use it I cannot say more.

you do not need to start the emulator before activating your own system, its for activating other computers in your network. an yes if you activate pushing the activate button it uses the injector but after activation it removes all so you have a clean system. It does the same every logon if you have created the task. it does not run a permanent KMS service
zwaan123 - Your dashboard has a task button to create a task. I ran that and it created a task scheduler to re-activate at every login. So I checked the activation days - 180 days left - good to know that my system will always be at 180 days at every login/restart. In the process of creating my own kms server for internal activation by copying $oem$ folder within the image.
Not exactly. It's still needed but now all files even the readme file are now integrated in one single executable for everyone's comfort.
"KMS-HGM.exe" was reported by Avira as a virus. But the activation still works on win8.1 with office 2013. Thanks!
@abbodi1406 - I have just installed your latest and greatest server service and I am happy to report that up to now everything is working as it should. This problem with renewal not working has given @Nucleus and I a headache for the past few days, so you will understand how much of a relief it is that your efforts have solved the issue. We are all very, very grateful for your work. You should be immediately promoted to 'Guru' (Mods: Can you do that for him?)
I would! @abbodi - Just a thought but it may help anyone not familiar with the renewal glitch. Could you make a post here properly explaining what the issue was. You have a far greater knowledge and understanding of this than most of us. TIA. And thank you again for this great release.
My pleasure, it was a fun task for me and thanks to you and apex2000 for bringing the attention to this matter You are welcome Expert is more than enough for me That Nirsoft's app was very helpful in investigating the issue
Well, i'm not that good in explanation and tutorials (there goes the Guru rank ), but here i try: In my understanding, KMS default renewal mechanism depends on Schedule Tasks controlled by sppsvc (Software Protection Service) rules engine, and can be found in this path in task scheduler: \Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform SvcRestartTask is the main task, and set to run based on the received RenewalInterval, which is controlled by kms server side (the default interval is 10080 minutes = 7 days = 1 week) SvcRestartTaskLogon is set to run at logon of any user (for me i see that it's sort-of a "backup" task that should be enabled and triggered if the main timer task skipped, or always) The issue we faced is that if you shutdown the OS for a period that exceeds or skips the scheduled renewal time, then after you boot, the sppsvc soft-hangs for almost infinite running status without auto-triggering the renewal process. Although SvcRestartTask is set by default to "Run as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed", but for unkown reason it doesn't. and even worse the task will (or may) gets disabled when this issue occurs. The solution i could figure out is by duplicating SvcRestartTaskLogon with another name SvcTrigger. because if we enable SvcRestartTaskLogon manually, sppsvc will disable it after some boots or reboots for unkown reason also. but the renamed duplicated Task maintains its enabled status. So, now at every logon, SvcTrigger task will check renewal status and trigger it when needed.
^ Good post abbodi, and bookmarked. This explanation was needed. And stop talking nonsense about you not being a Guru! This forum and its members benefit from your work and knowledge. As mentioned in previous post, your latest release to overcome the activation renewals issue is a bit special. Cheers.
