    Don´t know what´s wrong at your end. Server is working.
    Little Checklist as hint:

    • Installed version of OS?
    • Regionsettings to your location
    • Timesettings (sync with internet time)
    • Firewall (disable for testing)
    • Installed any "offline activator" watermark remover or else ditchy stuff?


    You´re absolutely correct, deactivating WMC doesn´t alter value for ProductName and VersionID in registry, it seems :D. One reboot for deactivation, reactivation works imminently.

    Only way to get it running via KMS is to use a VL key. Otherwise you cannot use the KMservice

    At least you can try to uninstall key via:
    Code:
    slmgr /upk
    then try installing GVLK again, use the first one from your link for pro-version.
