Windows 8 KMS Activation

As I said it is my uni KMS server. I am just running the no-ip URL from within my uni network/VPN (took a while to do hence me wanting you guys to test) to allow yall to use when needed. Will wait a bit and if everything goes well i will reactivate it for yall. Till then you can over use the mooo server LOL

 

if you guys read this thread and search wel enough you can make your own KMS virtual image!

 

Hi, I activated using the KMS activation method just fine. But now I wanted to check the activation using "Activate Windows". It says my licence will expire soon. But it also shows it is valid till April 2013. I'm also getting a message in the Action Center to activate Windows. And in the My Computer -> Properties, it's showing "Product ID not available".

Is this normal behavior?

P.S: By the way, I can't customize the Metro Screen etc just fine.

 

What is the output of slmgr -dlv if you type that in cmd?

 

Oops I panicked, and reactivated using KMS. So I guess checking slmgr -dlv is pointless now?

Also, actually I meant I CAN customize the metro screen even though activation was having problems.

 

I'm waiting.

 

Anyway here's the output of slmgr -dlv

Sorry heldigard, distribution continues ...

 

Can anyone tell me how to configure my kms host to be used over internet using Hyper-V. I have created a bridge and did port forwarding but port remains closed!

 

Finally you mange to online it.

 

Thanks S1AVE77! Works like a charm immediately after restore of activation on Win8 Pro.

Regards.

 

No seed

 

Don't use bridges, use netsh and portproxy instead! Also make sure that port 1688 is open!

 

Can I use this KMS Server Win7Sp1Pro to activate Win2012 or is only for Win8 and Win7 activation

 

How to....

 

its all depend on key used & one KMS setup floating here is for client activation only(vista\7\8).

No this is my uni's server. Still working on mine. Prob is my router. For something like that to work it needs to have a dyndns account put into it and they charge for their services soooooo still trying to find a work around LOL. Till then happy activating

 

i am able to make it online. My router was on different ip than my modem. So I have to change my router to Access point and forward the port using my ISP modem. And I used no-ip dns. Hope this will work for you
