    seems client side all the way?

    Changes how often a KMS client attempts to activate itself when it cannot find a KMS host.
    Changes how often a KMS client attempts to renew its activation by contacting a KMS host.

    LOL, my bad, didn't notice the title "Configuring KMS Hosts". :D

    Nah, it's the remote control by host to client when connected, to change the values from client side you can edit registry. :p

    Its for client side but you need to set these on host & host settings will always override client settings... Setting changed at client side are only effective till client is not activated...

    You can edit the settings on client end in regedit:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionP1atform

    Yes, you must do that every six months. No way out.

    I hope, that at some stage, there is one that can run in 127.0.0.1 or ::1 but not till keys are "found":D

    Actually you can refresh activation anytime you like, suppose you activated it 4 days ago, so to-day you only have 176 days, you can try to refresh activation against the old host or any newly posted host:
    - If it fails, nothing changed, still 176 days.
    - If successful, then it will reset to 180 days.

    As a matter of fact, if you haven't cleared the KMS host, and have not edited RenewalInterval, then the OS will auto connect to the KMS host to try a fresh activation every 7 days.

    btw:
    - I heard that for V6, it will return with an error if you set to 127.0.0.1; not tested it myself.
    - Some guys asked me is it true that it is required to activate every 24 hours, this is BS. I guess it's because for KMSpico(or other KMS tools), you can set it to refresh activation every 24 hours, and this caused the misunderstanding.
    :D

    Just installed Win 8.1 Pro (x64) and the script worked beautifully! :biggrin:

    It is activated but my question is if I install Microsoft Office 2013, how do I activate that?
