    Yes, it's the wrong topic, yes you can upgrade. Insert the DVD and run Setup under windows 8.0.

    Tank you, tank you. You too kind. Faster than a speeding bullet.

    One Q: Would you please consider modding $oem$ so it leaves Tap installed (also Tunmirror, is that even possible?), so the daily tasks (reactivation) can work faster? That was the way your first $oem$ folder worked, right? (ehm, is it faster that way?)
    I know you don't want to maintain 3 versions, but of course for those that want to keep Tap etc. installed, there are ways to adapt your fine scripts for that (install Tap again and don't remove it, run Tun, start Server service, set daily logon task). Correct?

    [Edit: In the meantime, I tested the new $oem$ folder (with the extra checks/delays: HighPriority v3) on the "slow" laptop. WORKS!!! now. Great!!!
    Next thing is to test if the automatic scheduled tasks slow down this system too much; alternative is to leave the Tap adapter installed etc, as I mentioned above]

    There's so many tools using the Tap adapter now, people would likely be changing the settings on the connection it makes, and possibly installing more than one.
    As a multi-user tool it's just better to have it uninstall afterwards, but you're not married to those settings.

    You can extract the exe and point all of the different things to the cmd script and remove the line that calls the devcon remove tap0901 part

    Yes, I understand. For general use it's better to keep it "self-contained", for others (like me), there's enough options to follow you guys' wonderful examples, and "cook" something for ourselves. Having the $oem$ folder to pre-activate 8.1 is a wonderful starting point!!
    Thanks man, I really, really (yes, REALLY) appreciate it!!!

    I use the network adapter WIFI to get internet access.
    I can use Ethernet Network Adapter Cable for task to realize the tap adapter?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but doesn't KMS_VL_ALL 6.0.3 create/delete daily scripts for re-activation? If it does not, do I need to re-run the KMS_VL_ALL 6.0.3 script daily?

    Also, does it re-enable the Firewall after it activates?

    No, you have to use/run the script. - No, you need to run it once.

    It does not disable firewall in the first place, it just adds exception rule then remove it

    So then what's the main difference between your script and AutoKMS_VL_ALL 6.0.3?

    I'm not entirely sure how well the time-scheduled tasks run. It could be that running it weekly or monthly would be a really good way to do that.
    I think the problem might be that if your system is not idle it will not run or something.
    I'm pretty sure there was a reason that many of us started using onstart, onlogon, and daily.

    The daily one is really just for people who leave their computer on for a REALLY long time.

    Monthly seems perfectly reasonable to me. You're more than welcome to try it. Just don't be freaked out if it requires you to actually idle for 5 minutes or something when it's supposed to occur.

    In the case of pre-9600 builds, there is no need to remove the TAP device and kill TunMirror.
    Thank you for your tool.

    It doesn't remove the tap device. It skips the part where it does "set /a ktap=0"
    so the call "if %ktap% equ 0 (%xOS%\devcon.exe remove tap0901 >nul 2>&1)" doesn't do anything since ktap is previously set to 1.

    The killing tunmirror is unnecessary, but harmless

    Your script (statements 13 to 15) :

    if %winbuild% LSS 9600 (set kmsip=127.0.0.2&goto :posttap)

    set /a ktap=1

    The correct coding should be :

    set /a ktap=1
    if %winbuild% LSS 9600 (set kmsip=127.0.0.2&goto :posttap)

    Right?

    The initial release of KMS_VL_ALL by abbodi1406 worked wonders for me and I love the simplicity, best KMS solution so far. But with 6.0.3 and 6.0.2 I haven't been able to activate again, just keeps failing and can't connect to the local KMS server. I believe it has something to do with KMSpico being run at one point in between and hasn't worked since. I remember reading others saying that KMSpico leaves something behind in the registry or something that prevents other KMS activators from working. Does anybody recall what the fix for this was? Thank you! :)

    Thank you so much. That is exactly the registry fix that I had seen previously and was looking for. These threads have become so polluted and messy since these KMS emulators started making progress lately and it's been more difficult to find the good information. I appreciate you finding that info for me, it fixed my problem.

    Also, yes, since the script failed it did leave the Tap adapter behind so I ran the remove script and that took care of it. Now with the registry fix the initial script runs perfectly and removes tap after properly. Thanks again.
