Yep, might cause the problem. My bad, that i forgot to mention this. Regards Duplicated my host and was asked too, chosed "moved" and duplicate is working with same count as original. EDIT: Would be good to know, where and how these infos are stored.
@100 Have the same files on my host with a sufficient client count. Now installing fresh kms to check, what they do there.
A complete guide from VHD setup to activation commands to fulfilling 25 client requirement. Actually it is not easy to manage 25 client/VM requirement for novice user like me and activation after 30 days. Is there any simple way?
so for me to change the token files, cant i just turn off software protection service and replace them then then turn it back on then reboot, or do i have to go thru another OS?
For auto shutdown, i used this: choice /T:30 /D N /N > NUL "%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe" /p /f Then activated under VM settings to revert back to snapshot at shutdown. Now i only need to start the VM, process is completed in 1 minute.
Doesn't matter how you do it, as long that you can replace the files you are set. I also used a live cd for this.
So let me see if I have this right: Fresh windows 7 pro with sp1 (VM or norm). Install KB275817 x64 and reboot. Turn off net, turn off UAC. Install KMS key. Turn off VM and apply uuid.bios change in vmx file. Either thru live CD or thru Windows, replace the tokens.dat and pkeyconfig files. Restart and it should be ready to get the 25 activations, if asked if moved or copied select moved it. (in my case by /skms 192.168.1.x:1688 , correct?) ?
what do you mean by default settings? The only thing i am doing other then just installing is turning off UAC. This is ok right? If I do the steps I said above everything should be just fine right?
If 64 bit version is used, pkeyconfig.xrm-ms has to be changed in system32- and SysWOW64-folder (for complete path see pdf). Then it should work.
Default = Choose custom install, VM workstation 8 or 9, install os later, MS windows 7 (x64), 1 processor with 1 core, 1GB RAM (1024), choose your network type, then click next till HDD = 1 file, next till end. Change uuid, install windows and so on.
