    Yep, this korean (in origin) "offline activator" is good for one thing, preventing users from further legit activation. In this case it is highly effective :D.
    But it seems hope dies last, even this time a bit later.

    You have to use it as two commands in elevated cmd (run as admin):
    1. slmgr.vbs /skms <SERVER IP>
    2. slmgr.vbs /ato
    It´s equal using "/" or "-".
    If done, delete kms adress via
    • slmgr.vbs /ckms

    You must write the server IP or Servername (KMS Server).

    Use: slmgr -skms 147.134.1.42 (press Enter and wait for confirmation)
    after that: slmgr -ato (press Enter and wait for confirmation)

    Do not forget to set time and date to your real local !

    When using KMS method it is essential to be connected to the Internet !!! (using the current KMS server which is not at your local company or at home ...lol)

    You wrote that you did it with 3 other machines and it worked. So figure out the difference between the one which doesn't work and the other 3!
    Correct Time zone? Any firewall or any so called activators? Or simply try several times as sometimes it doesn't work at first attempt !

    You ran an activator? Forget the whole thing and re-install a clean system and you go

    Is it enterprise or W8 pro (installed with right key) or a Core (which doesn't work) or a WMC version (which doesn't work either)?
