    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.

    UNRELATED QUESTION: If I want to use my KMS publicly, is there a way to do that? I am going thru a router. I remember along time ago a service that I could use but I dont know if it is available anymore and if it is I forgot the name LOL. Can anyone help me out?

    Portforward 1688/tcp to the proper LAN address.

    I know that but what I mean is there a service that will provide me a static IP address that people can access my KMS service even if my ISP IP changes?
