    Really don't know what's going on but, I can assure you this one really works, such a fine piece of software:
    Installer-and-$OEM$-KMS-QADhooker-for-V5-V6-O14-O15-Localhost
    Just use the $oem$ not the installer to integrate to your installation media.

    @throbber - Did you copy $oem$ folder to the source folder from abbodi1406 link and it worked? I want to do the same for Windows Server 2012 R2 VL (Volume License) image. Let me know.

    I want to activate my machine locally within my Lab with local KMS server (to activate mostly Win 8.1 and Server 2012 R2).

    :)

    No, you don't have to do anything, the activation will be renewed every 7 days
    but if you have external anvirus program or similar (or windows defender), to make sure they don't interfer with the process add those two file to exclusion or trusted list:
    %windir%\system32\SppExtComObjPatcher.exe
    %windir%\system32\SppExtComObjHook.dll

    try to see in your task manager if the kms hgm emulator is running? because then the service is created.
    Tested it in win 8.1 pro all is working okay here.

    noticed that after scheduled task is created it does not execute fails with file not found error.

    this changes worked for me on all OS tested Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Windows 8.1 Pro, Emb industry pro, single lang all 32 and 64bit

    changes done to service.cmd.
    added line
    copy /y SERVICE.vbs %SystemRoot% >nul 2>&1
    set PATCH="%SystemRoot%\SERVICE.vbs"


    after which clicking on service on/off everything worked good.
    files copied, task created, service added and registry changes done
