    Yah there's something weird about the devcon installs...
    Subsequent same os tests on the same machine, even though re-partitioning, only asked permission the first time
    My subsequent different os test asked permissions, so it may need to be something an exe program needs to solve that isn't devcon or dpinst

    I did some final testing, and on my modem/router (TC7200-UPC-NL) it is possible to define multiple forwarding rules for the same port. I added rules for all my PC's (192.168.0.10 through 20), all calls to port 1688 (KMS) are forwarded to these PC's (and it looks like the router tries them all, until it finds one that responds).
    In my particular setup, this can be useful, because when I only have 1 PC on/online at a time, I only need to start up a KMS emulator on that particular PC, slmgr /skms to my own "outside" IP, and the forwarding table goes through all rules, until it finds a PC that responds. Activation is successfull in this case, because KMSv6 doesn't recognize the IP as "localhost".
    Just wanted to test it, and would like to know if there are more routers that behave this way.

    [To put it differently: If I have a KMSv6 Server Service installed and/or running on all PC's (which uses hardly any cpu or ram), the minumum number of PC's that need to be online is: 1 (instead of 2)]
    **EOP** (end of project)

    Looking good! I will test it as soon as I can.
    Can I please ask some stupid questions (for "my friend"):
    - Is the TAP adapter installed permanently?
    - Please could you elaborate on the HGM license server emulator, what does it add to a normal KMS server?

    Thanks!

    Nono, just a 100kb KMS emulator, that's the whole point...

    Just reporting back my observations about KMS_VL_ALL.

    I did a fresh install of 8.1 Ent x64 in a VMware machine.
    Installed without a product key.
    Installed VMWare tools.
    Tried to activate with KMS_VL_ALL, the latest version.
    TAP Driver installed,
    Activation failed,
    TAP Driver uninstalled.

    Disabled Ethernet connection and re-ran the KMS_VL_ALL installer.
    Tap Driver installed,
    Activated correctly,
    Tap Driver uninstalled.

    Re-enabled Ethernet connection

    Re-run KMS_VL_ALL installed,
    Tap installed,
    Activated successfully
    Tap uninstalled.

    The ethernet on the VM was set to bridged mode, not NAT or the other one.

    I'll be trying this again tonight on a laptop to double check.

    Hey all, need a test. I have updated my KMS to include Server 2012R2 so I need some tests for Win 8, win 8.1 and Server 2012R2 (and possible Office 2010 and 2013). If there are some willing people out there who could do this for me that would be great :D

    Trial or Eval? If eval then no, after the eval time is over your done. All windows really have a trial time of 30 days if I am correct.

    It turned out that his service is using the old registry parameters that Cody implemented:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\KMSServerService]
    "Description"="Software Licensing Service"
    "DisplayName"="KMS Server Service"
    "FailureActions"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,14,00,00,\
      00,01,00,00,00,60,ea,00,00,01,00,00,00,60,ea,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\KMSServerService\Parameters]
    "KMSPort"="1688"
    "KMSPID"="RandomKMSPID"
    "VLActivationInterval"=dword:00000078
    "VLRenewalInterval"=dword:00002760
    "KillProcessOnPort"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform]
    "UserOperations"=dword:00000001
    
    

    i see that RandomKMSPID is functioning very well

    Same here - Just activated Server 2012 R2 - Hope this server will be online for some time until we have a working OFFLINE KMS package.

    How to remove watermark from the desktop - I have the following watermark

    "Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center Evaluation
    Windows License valid for 180 days
    Build 9600"
