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.
No it is just getting to be a bother answering the same questions over and over "ineedh3lp" Your question is fine, sorry if I came out the wrong way. I host a private KMS server and a link to a public KMS server. And the dumb questions that some ask when it has been answered gets me going.
Why they do it - that's easy - they do it for their own internal users, but screw up and leave it open to the entire internet. The folks at Creighton haven't figured out their mistake in the last two weeks.
A little bit off topic: Just downloaded the latest official update from MS 163MB for 64, restarted and no problem with activation
Cool What was in the update for 163MB I wonder. I just check my update and nothing there. I did get one on 10/08/2012 (KB2751352) What is the "KB number" for the update you got Paul
After 6 months of KMS activation and it expires, exactly what commands would then need to be run? (assuming KMS server is available)
