    hello s1ave77;

    yeah GVLK key is installed.
    Just one little tip, how to sync the time ? I think that's why its not working on server 2012.
    I use QEMU to sync the time, but I don't know with time I should input.
    I'm in France, so my time is CET (central eurepean time). How can I found out which time zone is the KMS server (lunar21.no.ip.org)
    I used the KMS (activation Helper v1.5) on other's PC for office 2013, and I had no problem.

    Again, thanks for helping out

    wondering about the stefan7 issue: Why didn't he get access to a server but could do it by local KMS? very interesting to me

    That's why I suggested he run a diagnosis of his Internet connection. My comment drowned apparently.

    Here's some of the error i got from the ELDI script. I ran it for an hour or more: same thing over and over.

    KMS Client Emulator running...

    Runtime reported exception 0x6ba = 1722
    Error Connection. Syncronizing Time and Waiting 5 s... Tried: 58 times
    Running now: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Timeout.exe /T 5 /NOBREAK
    Waiting for 5 seconds, press CTRL+C to quit ...43210
    Running now: C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\KMS GUI ELDI v2.7\KMS GUI ELDI v2.7\KMS Client.exe 1688 lunar21.no-ip.org Windows


    I was just getting ready to re-install. Won't take long, My system is clean. I'm running a AMD sempron 2.8 with AsRock MB unlocked to 2 cores @ 3.2 gHz. Windows reads it to be like a AMD 4450e dual core I think. That wouldn't cause some kind of time sync problem would it?

    thought you wanted to do a new install. Anyway, your hardware is not resposible for the problems which you have.
    Something is wrong at your installation, believe me. Is it so hard to do it again? save your work and jump into the water. 20 minutes and you are new and all works fine

    so guys, whats my best solution? run KMSNano? Or re-install and try again? Sounds like KMSnano is something less desirable. Not official or something. :confused: Stevan7's issue seems to have been resolved by running the script


    Allright Paul, thamks. I'll re-install to see if that's the issue.

    See, this little detail prevents you from syncing time and activating against external KMS. Problem solved.

    Because you probably installed from pro_vl media. You have to use e.g. en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso and install using the generic VL key.

    running the script will show if activation works off line. If not take the choice to do it from the beginning. Nano will not harm your system. Try and find out and you are activated legally in both ways by using the script or doing it after a new install via KMS or whatever

    what you mean by normal? VL is the most widespread version on this planet used in almost every big company/office
