Yup, I noticed that, but since these 2 tools already have their appropriate threads so I didn't update the OP, anyway I updated infos about it now.
hu guys iv just made a win8.1 pro x64 custom dvd with all updates. i wanted it to auto activate it so i added KmsDashboard_V.2.0.6_$oem$ folder to the image.tested it on VMware Workstation. all gos well until just before it gets to the desktop then i get this error?? View attachment 26935
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.
thx mister x but i dragged the $oem$ folder into the sources folder...saved with power iso. installed but its not activated??
many thanks.seems like its worked. do i have to do anything manually to keep it activated?? View attachment 26944
@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
