    The issue might be with corrupt system files. Run an SFC scan.
    ■Open command prompt(with admin rights).
    ■Type sfc /scannow

    No, your time is within a range of 4 hours which is the maximum range to get activated.

    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

    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?
