    I don't believe that this has to do with a running server. I assume that there are the well known issues like time, eval, crab etc. But good to know, that your service is available :D

    OK, so now I installed Office 2013 as well. And since the KMS server was already set to osfp7g7.no-ip.org (or lunar21.no-ip.org, can't remember which one I used last), activation was completely automatic. Beautiful!

    Did you use any command to activate Office through KMS server? I want to test the same with my KMS server. I was able to activate Server 2012 using slmgr -skms xxxx, slmgr -ato & slmgr -ckms.

    ramg1967, you used "ckms", so the KMS server info is removed from your system. If you keep it or reinstall it (slmgr -skms lunar21.no-ip.org), then install Office 2013 VL, I believe activation is automatic (actually forgot about this myself, but tested it a few minutes ago, and it does seem to work that way).
