    Credits go to Gamedev who found this server for the all of us and the guy who keeps this port open for such a long period of time :worthy:
     
  4. Regarding the KMS server discussed above. Does it activate Win 8 Enterprise because I've tried several times and it says the server cannot be contacted.

    Sure does, thats what I have activated two installs of in the last 24 hours :)
     
  6. Odd that I'm having trouble. My time and date are correct. The product key is the default installed (-CWCK7) and i've run the necessary commands in an elevated prompt.

    You have a regular enterprise ( no eval) without any hack running just as it came out of the box?

    checked the server a few secs ago and it is still running, so there must be something at your end. Check your time again and try several times to activate as sometimes it doesn't work with the first attempt
     
  12. As a test I tried to reactivate my server 2012 datacenter (previously activated with thiel's server) and it does not work with the 147.x.x.x

    Any extra firewall which might block the traffic?

    simply run this command and after that look what your activation status reports. If it say activated until any date 180 days later it doesn't work.
    My guess: It doesn't work
    my two cents

    I cannot activate my enterprise x64 by 147.xxx.x.xx? Or could I know any port rather than 1688?
    Thanks.

    I've probably tried 20 times and all of a sudden it worked! I didn't change anything else. Strange, but finally activated :D Thanks.
