    If you have that server running, mind uploading whatever it is you use so more people can put up servers?
    Or PM me so i can put one up?

    I think I ran the program properly... (but seems to me the instructions are lacking), 1. unzipped the Activation helper, 2. unzipped the source Activation helper 3.added the knows servers to the server txt.
    ran as admin. it never says found any servers it only shows-"benderrodriguez-1-pt.tunnel.tserv28.waw1.ipv6.he.net", it never says or shows Admin found, cause I run as Admin.
    I do get a GREEN SUCCESS, press any key to exit... not activated, and if I change the 1st server in the list it only looks there and says success..
    (guess I can not follow with out instructions... NO need to add the 8888 or 8844 or 8884
    I can ping every server on my list... I alwasys get Success in GREEN (age 70-dummer than a box of rocks.)

    I wish Daz would share his expertise on trying to crack this better version of Windows.

    The only instructions are: add servers to servers.txt, start the program
    other then that you don't need to do anything
    As the screenshot on the first page indicates that it says admin found, it does not do that anymore, as i have since updated the program.
    If you had read the entire topic you would know that, but as seen this is page 19 already... yea well.. i dont blame you XD

    There was a server up this morning by alechy, but his last post said he had to go to bed (thanks google translater) and turned off the kms host,
    I'm waiting for him to get up and reply to my post to him :D

    I hope to have informed you enough so you won't freak out..

    oh and.. thanks for running the program, i now have all your passwords and stuff...




    ..
    THAT WAS A JOKE......... *sigh*.. some people :D
    anyway.... =p
    yea.. I'm friggin tired, i do weird stuff when i'm tired.
    im probably going to hell now..

    Na not freaked out, and all my password and stuff, since it was a 100% clean install, ad the only site I had to enter PW for at that time was MDL. I would have posted pic but did not have Office installed.
    and oh well that's OK I do like to SHARE... hope you enjoy... :p ;)
    ps: I also learned that many of the Servers in my list I added to your script which gives the funny error(s) are due to they are only Windows 7 Servers.... guess that other site posted wrong info...
    :p:p:p:p:p:p

    NOTE:This is not mine, Im just forwarding that address to a valid kms server someone posted

    a round robin dns with cname would be easier to implement and maintain :) plus it will have "online" updates.

    win8kms4.mooo.com -> kms.sjtu.edu.cn -> 202.120.63.28

    i will try to keep win8kms4.mooo.com updated to active ones but if i miss it please send me a forum pm

    aftertought: remember to use "ipconfig /flushdns" beforehand
