    Working for sure. Just checked.

    Do you have Pro or Enterprise installed?

    enterprise does not need any key for KMS as it is automatically installed during setup. You only need to activate against a KMS server which is mentioned above.

    The step by step instructions are in the original post, if you follow them properly - you'll activate using the currently active server. If you're having problems getting activated,then it's a problem on your end,because the instructions are correct AND the server's UP...


    To be honest,I've never done a time-sync prior to activating a computer,so I'm unsure if this isn't just a placebo ;)

    I agree with you but I normally set up time zone during installation and my time always was correct. Other members reported that activation only worked after having synced, so I would do it just in case, placebo or not :D

    Ah like me having a couple of Heinekens before even attempting to install Windows, because I've noticed that the procedures make more sense when one's slightly inebriated XD It might be a coincidence,but this worked for me since my second attempt at getting on the WinXP wave (the first one ended with a viral infection 25 minutes after installing the damned thing and trying to install AVGFree)
    Also,on-topic server's still up, I just re-upped my wife's laptop using the current KMS.

    double click time/date at your right hand corner. A window pops up where you can adjust time zone. Find yours for your country/Main cities and apply. Within this window, you can synchronize the computer time with the internet with time.nist.gov or time.windows. etcetera

    thanks for your response and this is to show, that syncing time/time zone is a major need with KMS activation :D

    Duly noted XD I wonder then if the UTC time isn't a factor in the activation process - perhaps one of the factors that're used to generate an activation confirmation code..

    I did it without and no problem, so it is just sometimes, eastern here and it was set to California.

    Interesting to read this as well. I didn't find anything about this phenomenon on M$ sites but for all, who have problems, it is the best to adjust time zone and time to be on the secure side if activation is about to fail.
