@davepingus Post the output of following: Code: slmgr.vbs /dlv Make sure you're not using the eval ISO.
I am using the ISO from the windows server repository on MDL i dont get it this is the first time KMS has not worked for me

Did you do what @xinso advised to too? Run the QT from here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/multi-oem-retail-project-mrp-mk3.71555/#post-1283849 and post the saved report results here please.
That happens when some kms solution (kmspico) is run without first inserting the gVLK. Try to run KMS_VL_ALL v24 If it has to do with the kms cache, the scripts should clear it. When that won't work too, i would reinstall and run KMS_VL_ALL v24 by @abbodi1406 Or someone knows how to reset it so the KMS solution will work.
Rebooted "Windows is not activated" I am using remote desktop to do all this as the server is in a different room that shouldn't effect it right?
I get this message when running the KMS_VL_ALL cmd file Installing Key for: Windows(R), ServerDatacenter edition Activating: Windows(R), ServerDatacenter edition Product Activation Failed: 0xC004F014 Remaining Period: 0 days (0 minutes)
I already feared that, i would reinstall. When i search mdl on this error message it probably means that the retail > vl conversion didn't work by inserting the gVLK (caused by incorrectly using a kms solution on a server retail install). Maybe someone knows how to repair this without reinstalling.
Reinstall windows? i dont mind that too much. Could you kindly point me in the way of a more upto date server datacenter iso that in your experience has worked with the normal KMSpico. A VL iso? would that be right?
The VLSC iso would be the best iso to go: From my old tests: Code: VLSC ISO: SW_DVD9_Win_Svr_STD_Core_and_DataCtr_Core_2016_64Bit_English_-2_MLF_X21-22843.ISO contains: Windows Server 2016 SERVERSTANDARDCORE Windows Server 2016 SERVERSTANDARD Windows Server 2016 SERVERDATACENTERCORE Windows Server 2016 SERVERDATACENTER SHA-1: 1868fe4989c81c6d9e2c625919e2906748a6f542 This ISO is VLSC and is VL. KMS capable: Tested: KMS_VL_ALL v10 (by abbodi1406) = Yes MTK2.6.2 = Yes KMSpico 10.2.0 = Yes But if you don't have access to it, just reinstall using the iso you used for the current install (assuming it's a clean untouched MSDN iso and not some gen2 crap).
