    error message is:0xC004F074, No KMS could be contacted, etc... I'm trying to activate Windows 8 Enterprise x64. I even turned off the windows firewall, but nothing changed.

    edit.: It works now, I synchronized the time once again, that did the job!
    thanks for your quick response!

    Does anyone here, can give me some sheds, on how to activate Windows 8, I only need the most basic one, the Windows 8 Core, I have tried with the -ato but the server won't activate at all, is there any alternative solution to this OS.

    As far as I know you cant use Core version, it has to be Pro (VL) or enterprise since these can be activated via KMS, Core and retail Pro can be activated via retail key.

    Hm, if you speculate to get a key for activation, just in case, this is the wrong place. You only get legal information at MDL :D
