Dear all, in my production we have a KMS server to activate 50 user. after we try to activate the machines its comes back the error (Fout 0XC004F038 ) doesnt reach the count or something like this. the strange thing is the kms server counter is 31, i've read somewhere its need to reach 25 count to start activating ! can someone please advise to fix this ? OS= Win 2008R2 STD/ENT trying to activate a machine with Win7 64bit
NOTE: To use the Client Emulator unpack to any location, open Admin CMD and navigate to the folder, then call Client with: Code: ::This will charge when running directly on the host machine "KMS Client.exe" ::This will activate from a Client, you need to change IP to the one from the Host :D. "KMS Client.exe" 1688 127.0.0.1
No need for all that, if everything is setup correctly and you have (5 or more servers) or (25 or more clients) activating against it. The count will continue to increase, if indeed the machines are requesting activations from the server; when it hits the threshold they will activate. If your numbers are less than the threshold, just keep adding machines. Eventually you'll get there.
i cant use the KMS emulator unfortunately because its a legit infrastructuur, Myrrh is there is a way to speed this process up ? or i need atleast the 25 Machines connected first? i thought i can keep trying to run the command ( slmg -ato ), any others suggestions to get the counter up and quick ?
Hmm, there is a way to do the attempts with a physical machine, but it's ways more complicated. Not shure whether there will be a problem in your infrastructure. The client simply emulates a Client PC which is attempting activation, in case he finds a Host waiting for the count to fill up, it will repeat the attempts untill the count is filled. Afaik there should be no difference to a 'real' Client.
you need 25 different machines to do the request for client and 5 for server. if you are using lees then the threshold than the minimum your clients will not activate. use the kms-client charger it will do no damage to your legal server.
thank you user Hidden, i tired the KMS charger and it works, can i use the kms charger for the office too ? or KMS office doesn't need 25 counter?
No. KMS host for Windows Client OS (Vista, 7, 8.x) requires 25 unique activation attempts before starting to activate. For Server OS it needs 5 attempts, same for Office. Windows / Office 2010 / Office 2013 are counted separately! Trying to activate an Office 2013 KMS client does not increase Windows and Office 2010 counters (same analogy goes for the others). The charger tools can be used for all counters by specifying the client type (Windows, Office14, Office15).
is there is a way to use the charger from command line ? i mean using Powershell in place of using the charger ? is this possible ? there are some command?
The charger tools I've seen so far operate on the command line. Sending activation requests using only simple script commands would be complicated if not impossible (it's a specially crafted message impersonating a KMS client asking for activation, with encryption involved). The full source code for these utilities is available so you can take a look for yourself.
I just to correct me if I am wrong, the legit KMS server needs a KMS Server Key and KMS Client KEY ? am I right ? so I have a key for KMS server and need a key for client who is going to connect and ask to activate? or there is a special ISO for KMS without key ?
