Windows update does work, also when TAP is installed. Twinhead's updating problem is, IMHO, not caused by KMSmicro.
I followed all instructions, but bridge is undefined network, why? firewall is off, no antivirus software.. help
I was having problem with this as console was not starting. message in log QEMU was "Device 'tap' could not be initialized" until i realised that tap should be renamed to tap1 and NOT tap 1 ( as i had done !) posting it in case others make a simmilar mistake.
And the I get this message: ''Activating Windows(R), Core edition (fe1c3238-432a-43a1-8e25-97e7d1ef10f3) ... Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.''
Will be this included in the "Microsoft Toolkit" to have an All-In-One tool to activate Windows until 8.1 ?? Thanks
only core version which could be activated by using MTK was windows 8. There was a loophole to get it activated for 30 days continuously. For 8.1 we don't have the tool yet so there are some ???
[h=2]New MTK under development![/h]A new MTK is being developed by mikmik38 which would enable the activation of almost all Windows 8.1 versions including Windows 8.1 core. It would take 2-3 weeks at the most to complete. The thread can be found in the MDL Projects and Applications section named "KMSEmulator - KMS Client and Server Emulation [Source]".
Use the qemu vm of KMSmicro 5.0.0. Put the files of KMSmicro 5.0.0 in the same directory of your choice. You do not need all of them. Check my post #1068. Create a cmd-file with the code below; don't forget the last character (dot). Save it in the same directory. Run that cmd-file as administrator. When the KMS server is running, check the timezone. It must be the same as the timezone of your PC. Changing the timezone causes a shutdown of the KMS. Restart with the cmd-file. start qemu-system-x86_64.exe -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -redir tcp:1688::1688 -m 512 -hda kmsmicro.rom -rtc base=localtime,clock=host -name KMS_127.0.0.1 -M pc -L .
if you want to connect console to internet and run nettime you need to make a bridge. but you don't really need it just set correct time zone that is enough.
