Windows 8 KMS Activation

Use script on Client not on KMS host..

 

Hi guys, is there by chance a way to make a windows 7 pro 32bit or a windows 8 32bit vm a kms host with the file provided?

I followed the methods to the letter but come to the conclusion that the files are only good for a windows 7 pro 64 bit or a windows 8 ent 64 bit kms host.

(By the way, thanks for the great effort and so course, the great generosity in sharing the methods with the community)

Is the server win8kms4.mooo.com still working?
I'm getting error 0xC004F074 (No Key Management Service could be contacted)
Win 8 Pro x64

 

yes it does

edit: and page 1 leads you to all answers of any kind of questions !!

 

Can as well confirm mooo-one is still working. Tried to disable firewall ?
Regards

 

Got it working guys... My PC had correct time but wrong time zone

 

Edited my summary posts and added the hint to check these settings for proper operation.

 

would you be able to make a activation backup with advanced tokens manager of the win 8 pro host and share it thanks ?
Ive bee struggling to replace the tokens manually

 

@rrohela
Tried again your last automation script on windows 8 ent and can confirm proper operation now. Have no clue, what went wrong first time...stupid me .
Edited my summary in KMS-CLIENT part. At least i will attach this to my signature....

 

I have been researching this for VMware for the last 2 days and still can't figure out how to access the kms server over the internet. I have read many articles and watched countless youtube videos and still can't figure it out. Maybe a new thread should be started on how to do this. This virtual networking stuff can be very confusing.

 

Unless you read the VMWare documentation on this topic

 

just edit the 'advanced tokens manager' config.ini to read 'Product Version: Windows 8 Pro' instead of 'Product Version: Windows 8 Enterprise' and you will be good

 

I have read it. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe some people might not understand the concept and may need additional instructions. What might seem simple to one person is not to another.

 

That is certainly understandable. However, this thread is meant to provide instructions on KMS activation. What you are discussing is a completely different topic - port forwarding, etc. Allowing outside access to a device on you LAN is the same, whether that device is a physical server/computer, or a virtual one. Set your Virtual Machine to run in bridged mode instead of NAT. Assign the VM a static IP that is on your LAN and then setup port forwarding on your router/firewall to forward traffic from the outside on port N to the internal device on port X (in this case, 1688 for KMS).

 

Thanks, I will try these instructions. You are correct as this off topic.

 

Thanks such a simple step to make it work in 8 pro.
KMS up and running now

 

Ok trying to get the win7 client up and running. Forgive my lack of experience here but how do you take a snapshot?
I cant find it in vmware settings

Thanks

 

In VM Ware Workstation with a right-click on machine-tab "Snapshot/Take Snapshot". In VM Ware Player there isn´t such option.

 

Thanks I am only running Player so that would explain it cant afford the $120 odd for workstation

Thanks again for all the good work you and everyone else have put into this
