    I am using the info provided by the pdf in the download. I used Work Station 9 and win 7 pro sp1. I followed the instruction in the pdf. I created a a standard win 7 machine. I do not know what other hardware was installed compared to what this pdf used.

    It´s a magic key, for enabling kms-host-functionality by installing it :D.

    Duh, somehow I missed this little detail. I thought it's all included in those 2 activation files you replace. Thanks.

    Edit: Another fun magic detail: don't just replace uuid.bios, replace uuid.location as well. I magically look like a wizard from all the hair pulling already :)

    Edit2: I use ESXi 5.1

    Guys I have a small suggestion. Who ever needs 25 activation requests can run log me in hamachi (or comodo unite, not seem to be working now) and create a vpn. then they can provide there vpn id through pm who are ready to help, and get their 25 activation requests. can help each other out every month

    Another question: This KMS VM is activated permanently? Never ever needs to talk to MS servers again?

    Nearly that easy. Worst part is waiting for the download so far. At least 3 hours with 600 kB/s for me. Don´t forget to change network to nat. Power on both. IF ASKED CHOSE "MOVED" THIS MACHINE. Start aktivekms-script after editing prepare-script.
    Checked twice with reverting a snapshot to one of my test-hosts, after nearly half an hour running both in background, task is fullfilled :D.
    Did´t check the possibility of sharing these file only for useage in another win 7 client. Would be a smaller download.

    Your lucky, I have 5 hours just for the KMS LOL. Once KMS is downloaded will start on the client since count is already at 50 :). So both VM's are setup and ready to go (other then that editing)?

    Rest is working properly for me. That package from magnet link includes both, a host and a client, each with a size of 3 GB. Host has already reached 50 attempts and is fully loaded for the moment.
    Only had some slight problems to get that automated client part running at first.
