Wow, after a little hiatus I come back to MDL and find the ingredients needed to host my own client KMS, with the additional bonus of a script to fake the activation count. Nice! I've read most of the thread, and conclude that there is not yet a host [key/VM] that will activate Server 2012. Is that correct? Many thanks!
No, it won't; it tries to reactivate every 7 days, nothing else [unless the server tells the clients to use a different interval]. What's the point of spamming the server and continuously reactivating every few days?
Oh, yes, thanks - I'm aware of that publicly-exposed server. I meant, a CLVLK or VM to host my own KMS, that would activate Server 2012.
So is there a public server we can use for our desktop windows 8 pro? or do we have to have a locally hosted KMS server to activate? I would think if one person has a server setup that it would activate anyone who connects to validate.
Try the one from first post, it´s a dynamic adress pointing to a working server . No need to have an own one, but very comfortable indeed .
Yeah i really need to do that. Reinstalling doesnt take too long but its an extra hour or so after install to get things back in order.
Hi I managed to create a Windows 7 HOST KMS and a Windows 8 GUEST under ESXi 5.1 and they are working great so far.... Now as an extra project I am trying to create a new KMS HOST using 'Windows 8 (tied Enterprise and Pro VL)' but I cant make it work, has anyone has done it? the GVLK key installs but it does not activate, even tried to use token.dat, data.dat, etc from other places it doent not work...
