    I am just setting up a new UEFI dual boot build for a friend of mine.
    Installed W7 Enterprise on HDD, OS and Office15 activation all fine with KMS Servers.

    Installed his legit W8x64 Professional to SSD - activation with MS.
    Now there is a problem with Office15 activation (converted it to VL before)

    OfficeProPlusVL_KMS_Client edition, OfficeVisioProVL_KMS-Client edition

    Did set KMS host to lunar or thoosa, win8kms, tried to activate and it
    always returns 0xC004F074: Product could not be activated. No KMS could be contacted.

    I can trace the kms servers ... Is it not possible to install legit W8 Pro activated
    with MS and VL KMS-Office ? Sorry for noob question, dunno what to do now, any help ?

    Now it worked with OSFP7G7, thank you very much @Jon7, awesome ...
    many servers offline today it seems, or maybe just some DNS trouble ...

    Damn system did block me too, somehow after updates. I'm using upgrade Version of Win8 clean install (from old Vista license) and under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE\Media Install (which was set to 0, right after install) appeared some new entries (maybe reference to Win7 Version). After deleting the keys I got a new wave of updates. Uninstalled Office, reboot, new Installation and KMS worked.
