Windows 8 KMS Activation

Commands have to be used that way:

Code:

cscript slmgr.vbs /skms kms.cc.columbia.edu
cscript slmgr.vbs /ato

 

I tried several times and used slave77's helpful script but no luck. Same message saying no KMS could be contacted.

 

do I need to turn off antivirus or windows defender or firewall?

 

didn't know that you have any antivirus, yes turn it off. leave defender and windows firewall as is. If firewall is 3rd party turn it off as well

 

still doing it

 

If you want try with my server:

Code:

osfp7g7.no-ip.org

 

Which commands are you actually using to activate? Seems there is more than one error.

 

I have such a feeling that there is something wrong with your installation. We never had such problems with a single "customer"
do a sfc /scannow in CMD as admin. Your machine is out of the normal state. Anything must be there ...

From screenshot and his description it looks to me as completely wrong syntax for activation commands. In that case Activation Helper could do the job.

 

if it doesn't run out of the command box, why should it do in the helper?

edit: OK if syntax is incorrect > malfunction

 

Should exclude syntax errors at his end. If not working either, he has a bigger problem to solve.
But maybe we let him answer this...?

 

guys. I looked at act helper and tried to ping servers but it kept saying request timed out. Is that anything?

 

i'm pretty sure syntax is right. I copied and pasted it out of stickys

 

lunar21.no-ip.org is live..

 

Pinging doesn´t show server is on in every case .

Code:

kms.cc.columbia.edu

is down atm.

Code:

lunar21.no-ip.org

is definitly on.

 

when I run the '-ato command: log files shows that a software protection service starts and
runs a licensing status check among other things. Could that be something?

 

thanks. give me 10 minutes please
