    So moral of story
    if someone else facing same problem that KMS host address is set to benderrodriguez-1-pt.tunnel.tserv28.waw1.ipv6.he.net:1688 or something & not changing after running SLMGR -CKMS then look in to registry for
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92 734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f\458e1bec-837a-45f6-b9d5-925ed5d299de & change key KeyManagementServiceName to your KMS host

    i have posted this many times: that "core" key is for server 2013.
    remember win8 will accept it since server 2013 share the same xrm-ms
    file so the key will validate on install but will NOT activate on win8.

    The MS list is confusing because it has irrelevant entries. There is no such thing as "Windows Server 2012 Core"; the only two Server Core editions are "Standard Core" and "Datacenter Core", and they use the same keys as the non-Core editions.

    You used a MAK key which has a limited number of activations and WILL be blocked.

    There is no Vista Professional, the corresponding edition was called Vista Business.

    FYI, querying WMI doesn't need admin rights.

    Also, an updated version of the command (that also shows the license channel):
    Code:
    wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where LicenseStatus=1 get Name,Description /format:value
