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
the kmspico hangs on 5% and it stays there whats going on the last months Its gonna be hander and harder to active Windows and office this all s**t!!
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!
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 Code: whwebsolution.no-ip.org
I will test in 30 minutes. Just started installing Server 2012 R2 Data Center Edition now. The ISO, I am using is Trial version downloaded from MS on 19th Oct 2013. Do, I use same command as, I used before to perform online activation.
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.
RandomKMSPID is not functioning: Code: KMS-Client 1688 whwebsolution.no-ip.org 12R2 KMS Client Emulator running... Activation request (KMS V6) 1 of 1 sent. Received response from KMS Server.

It turned out that his service is using the old registry parameters that Cody implemented: Spoiler 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
@lunar21 thanks for working KMS server i just activated my office 2013 on win 8.1 with your server thanks again server is working
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"
