    Now you know system is capable activating via KMS, so we can go further (one step at a time, not stumbling :D).

    KMSmicro V7

    hi,

    it was a good idea to have NetTime running automatic! ;)

    just 2 little suggestions to heldigard:

    when running NetTime from the menu it would be more informative if it is not /hide

    why not setting the ip while starting the KMSmicro (for network access)?
    I use this script:
    Code:
    @ECHO OFF
    REM Start qemu on windows.
    REM Modified by: ELDI 
    REM File: 1-1-KMSmicro - Alternative.cmd
    echo.
    rem ipconfig
    set /p IP4=Set IP-Address of KMS Server (Default: 127.0.0.1) ^>
    if [%IP4%]==[] set IP4=127.0.0.1
    cd qemu
    start qemu-system-i386.exe  ^
    -smbios type=1,manufacturer=Intel,version=1.01234,uuid=564d81c6-cd3a-d8e4-db29-756df139acb9 ^
    -uuid 564d81c6-cd3a-d8e4-db29-756df139acb9 ^
    -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp:%IP4%:1688-:1688,net=172.20.0.0/16,host=172.20.1.1 ^
    -m 256 ^
    -rtc base=localtime,clock=host ^
    -hda Image\KMSmicroV6.vhd ^
    -name "KMSmicro IP-%IP4%:1688" ^
    -M pc ^
    -L Bios
    exit

    the microKMS server won't activate anything until about 5 - 10 mins after it's booted because it takes a while for everything to load even when it looks ready and you can see the GUI menu you still may need to wait 5 - 10 mins for it to become ready & don't forget to time sync.

    From where did you start: USB or local disc?
    I ran it from both directions and found similar values like you but the long version was from a USB stick with 2.0

    Ok, i did a clean install using the VL key and this time the offline activation seemed to work :D
    Lets hope it works again in a couple of months time :D

    Thank you all for the advice and pointing me in the right direction :biggrin:

    @ALL

    :busted_blue: Have to commit a fault by myself, stated here a couple of times :doh:!

    There is no need to disable UAC! Simply start the KMSmicro-Host by double clicking it, sync time and here you go...:eek:.

    Recommend using the new host provided by heldigard in my sticky, works like charm even from usb-key. Tested on Win 7 and Win 8.

    Regards

    Good to see, I thought a clean install would do the trick.

    This is the evergreen classic for a windows, isn´t working proper. But the machines, i used for further testing, are far away from a clean install :D. So if there were no hacktivators or similiar tools used, it should work by simply starting the host and syncing it´s time.

    Only 2-Activation.cmd needs to be run as administrator.

    Have you

    1. Done a totally clean install
    2. used the right KMS key
    3. Tried all three methods on page 1 to activate it

    of course I am assuming you have installed a proper M$ image, so check the Windows 8 install is not a hack

    First i would recommend using the new version by heldigard due to it comes from source we know better than the one from the depth of the net :busted_blue:.
    This one definitly does not need UAC beeing disabled.

    1. I installed it months ago,Windows 8 Pro RTM x86 (is it because its not working as it is RTM?)
    2. I used the volume key NG4HW-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
    3. I only tried this KMSmicro method,as i use Virtualbox and Win 8 is not my main OS(its running in Virtualbox).

    Do you run the host in vbox too? Key seems to be matching GVLK to your version.

    Hi,

    I'm not sure if QEMU will work well inside VirtualBox. :excl:
