    I only want a MAK key to play with. See what it changes to the script to give it per. activation.
    I have a good ideal what a KMS activation changes but want to compare the two.

    I got my CSVLK which is a Volume License Key through MSDN for my business. I have to have it to do IT services at the shop and store.
    I have 15 computers in the shops and 25 in the store, plus 6 POS systems that where running XP but now run Windows 7

    Seems you have the enterprise evaluation copy installed which only runs for 90 days. Make a clean install with the full version and activate it against the KMS server which is still firing data :D
    For permanent activation, you need to use other method like buying a legal key. KMS is only 180 days and then you need to reactivate against an active server.

    If you did a clean install with enterprise, you should be able to activate with KMS.
    Run command as ADMIN!
    enter slmgr -skms win8kms4.mooo.com and press enter
    enter slmgr -ato and press enter
    wait for confirmation

    before you do this, make sure, your time zone is set to your location and sync time with the internet just in case and you go

    Something is wrong with your system.
    run sfc /scannow in command prompt as admin and wait as it might take a while and then try again my advise of above post

    Please sync your time and make sure you ar in your correct timezone. MS said this:
    Code:
    This error also can occur when there may be a time difference between the KMS client and KMS host machine.
    
    The error 0xC004F06C listed in the info section may occur if the difference between system time on the client computer and the system time on the KMS host is more than 4 hours. We recommend that you use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) time source or the Active Directory service to synchronize the time between computers. Time is coordinated between the KMS host and the client computer in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

    Im getting an "unrecognized option" error. I ran scannow and nothing is wrong with my Windows.

    So, dumb question: does that kms only work for Enterprise? Im on Professional x64.
