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

 

No not only mistake...Some do it to help others out.

 

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

Just a single big update for W8 and server. Don't know what it was exactly doing

 

If they do it to help others out, then they could be properly called pirates.

 

After 6 months of KMS activation and it expires, exactly what commands would then need to be run? (assuming KMS server is available)

 

The text is too tiny, please, could you use bigger font size?

 

same as today if the server is the same. If the server address has changed, you simply enter the new address next year ... lol

 

KB2756872? Have fun with it.

It updates uxinit.dll and uxtheme.dll to b16420, so custom themes are gone after update again... :/

 

Premised you deleted kms host adress:

Code:

cscript slmgr.vbs /skms kms.host.ip
cscript slmgr.vbs /ato

If you deleted key too, you have to enter it again first.

Code:

cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk YOUR-KEY-HERE-XXXXX

That simple .

currently having fun with it on 7 machines. Where is your problem? The first ones rebooted properly without any issues

 

Install is running in VM, will soon report back. Over.

 

If they do it for internal users, it's funny how they do not have a firewall to block access to IP ranges outside their turf. Also, isn't it risky to access that server? I mean what if they keep access logs?

 

Yes I was going to wait until the others go down. I already had one server taken down.
I will wait
