    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)?

    Just checked and KMS server is up and working fine.
    Check what you are doing wrong.
    Check date and time.
    Check the key you used.

    Hello. I recently activated Windows 8 using the provided KMS server (win8kms4.mooo.com). It all went smooth. The only time my firewall asked for outgoing permission was for an ip different than the resolved win8kms4.mooo.com, somewhere in USA Nebraska @ Creighton University. Anyway, what I would like to ask is: could anyone provide some general information about how this process works and why it works? For example, why could a regular user not host a similar KMS activation server instead of having to wait for available ones online? ANother question would be, who are those people that are hosting the KMS server and why are they doing it?

    I suppose you are referring to me as well since I made the last post referring to private KMS server hosting. Sorry if it has been asked before or if it's a stupid question. I was just being curious.
