Windows 8 KMS Activation

Make sure your Windows Firewall has opened port 1688 as well, eg:

Code:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="Key Management Service (TCP-In)" new enable=yes

The command above should return:

Code:

Updated 2 rule(s).
Ok.

 

I am able to run VMWare windows 8 and 7 in my desktop and able to run KMS server. But in my laptop even after giving bridge and NAT i am unable to get lan connection and unable to ping the KMS server by network machines. I am using wireless, will that be the problem?

To successfully ping open ICMP echo port & for activation open KMS port on host.

 

As already said i did not tested it, but i simply assumed 'activate the previous generation' would not mean 'activate the previous generations'
Anyway, good to know it works for Vista as well

 

Ok I think i am not being clear. I am using the same VM i used on desktop and moved it to use on laptop. In that I am not able to ping the KMS server (VM machine) which i run in the same laptop.

Has this KMS Host key to be activated at Microsoft, and how often can this be done?

@pisthai

I need this one: All supported x86-based versions of Windows 7

Cheers
and thanks

@rrohela
Many thanks just what i needed.

 

This script works great in Win8 to up the count but after it is done I noticed that my ssp service remains stopped. I have to manually restart it. Shouldn't it restart when it is done.



REM Increment KMS to 25 so it starts activating clients
REM save as a bat file.
REM Windows 8 Enterprise/pro inbuilt KMS Client key used in this one.
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set /p X=how many time do you want to run
:loop
set /a N+=1
if !N! gtr !X! goto :eof

goto :loop

 

Remove rem for later use( to run once a day)
For first use to increase count form 0 to 25 use it as it is.

 

Thanks, works great. I need to learn some more.

 

Why do you think VM packages are distributed? So you can activate online?
The key no longer can be used to activate against MS servers, it is blocked now

 

Some people are a bit dense

 

When you mean "Remove rem for later use and for first use" do you mean on first time of running it, remove this rem and run it, then afterwords (ie once a day running), just keep it on, or what do you mean?
