Pinging is old method & doesn't inform about required service is working or not, Just shows that host is alive or not & modern systems don't allow that kind of check. check service offered, use office or windows KMS client service to check. Hope you knows the commands. for windows Slmgr /skms <hostname or IP> slmgr /ato for office cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:<hostname or IP> cscript ospp.vbs /act
Hi there. Today I instaled fresh copy of w8 proWMC. I have tried KMS activation (with wmc key) on working kms server, but I get error message, that "No key management service (KMS) could be contacted. If I use standart win8 pro key, then I get error with slui.exe and non-core stuff. If enyone have managed to solve that problem I would be very thankful for giving me a haned. Regards, Vuolia vuolia[@]gmail.com
if you read carefully, you should have seen, that you cannot activate pro with media center. You have to first use pro only installing with VL key from Technet, activate it against KMS and then ad WMC by using the free key coming from MS. After that you are permanently active and legal... lol
Have you installed GVLK key or retail? Would be better if you post error too or screen shot of that..
False alarm, tried diffierent KMS server and it is activated! Thank you all guys who helped me here today.
