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.
i was able to successfully run the KMS server. Now i will like to give my server access to my friends to activate. So which vpn software will be best and where should i install this software. Should i install it on VM or can i install it on host and can route the packet to my VM. Please help
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
I am running a E6550 i was able to enable Virtualization in my bios should work on your processor as well
Another question: This KMS VM is activated permanently? Never ever needs to talk to MS servers again?
So all I have to do is download that magnet file, edit that file on the desktop of that client then have both running and bam im good to go?
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 . 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.
