Well in that case, why he/she is taking about using windows 8 as KMS host? And why he/she is taking about it has been tested it on 3 different installations on vmware & working? Confused...
these methods are reqally confusing me. can anybody make a video on how to do it. Please someone post a step by step instruction on how to enable KSM host machine and to create a VM in VMware to increase the count to 25.
ATM i´m downloading a solution, which contains a kms host image and a client one for vmware (player included). Whole pack is about 6GB big. As said the client should do his job within 30 minutes. Will report, when i can confirm that . Still loading......................... Regards
what network should i choose for my laptop which is on the same network as my host machine running VM to access the network of My VM. and is there any settings i need to do to get the connection?
I have the same question. I finally got my count up to 25 and activated my desktop with my kms but when I try with the wireless laptop it comes up with can't reach the kms server. I am on a router also. Any ideas.
Ok I did everything correct yet its still showing me 20 days left to activate. Please tell me when I am doing wrong. 02. Created a new VM and Edited the uuid.bios line then installed Win 7 Pro (x64) into it (no key used during installation). 03. Started it up on the VM, installed KB2757817 fine. 04. Disconnected connection. 05. Disbaled UAC. 07. Followed instructions in pdf 08. Inserted KMS host key. 09: Re-enabled connection and rebooted VM.
Yes I put them in the correct area's. I did it by shutting down software protecting, taking ownership or the files and replaceing them then install KMS key
Ok successfully able to run kms server. Now i need to increase the count. I know you have made a post on how to do that. But that doesnt make much sense to me since i dont know how to create a vhd file. I have created another VM running win 7 pro though. If u can explain what i need to do now to increase the count using the newly created VM will be much helpful.
note sure if it helps, but the pdf says it should be done the other way around, eg: first install the key then restore files Did you restart the software protecting afterwards?
Well what can i say, everything needed is in that guide...if you can not complete a few easy steps this definitely isn't your game to play
can you atleast explain what u meant by "Download & Create a wim2vhd directory and file structure like so: /activate/ activate.cmd bcdboot.exe Imagex.exe install.wim (NOTE: one that includes Windows 7 Professional, i used 32-bit because it is a bit smaller) Unattend_Client32.xml WIM2VHD.wsf" Edit: I am able to increase the count by following the method mentioned in this post by Hack. Thank you Hack. You are great
Geez make a root folder, download and place WIM2VHD.wsf into the root folder, make a folder 'activate' in the root folder, create a file activate.cmd in the 'activate' folder, edit activate.cmd, paste in the command as shown in guide, create Unattend_Client32.xml, edit Unattend_Client32.xml, paste in the xml as shown in guide, find bcdboot.exe and copy it into the root folder, find Imagex.exe and copy it into the root folder, extract install.wim from Windows 7 iso (one that includes professional) place it into the root folder, run the command in the root folder to make the vhd now, how hard was that? I'm going to leave now, this is simply too exhausting
