    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

    Give it a last try... Uninstall KMS client key then install retail key (must be blocked).... then restart & gain install KMS client key & check...:biggrin:

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

    Gads, I have to THANKS Heldigard 1000%. everything I have is Validated via VAMT3.0 and other sources in M$. genuine, validated and Activated by KMSnano by heldigard .

    I also have added several of his programs to a FAST Seedbox for those who use the magnet links.....

    @Heldigard :worthy::worthy::worthy:

    @MGrotz use any of the KMSnano v xx Automatic ..... they work they pass M$ test... they validate with VAMT 3.0

    to do this, first you need to install pro, convert it to 8pro VL and activate with KMS. Then you use the free MS Media key and do the magic and convert it into something legal. Find the instructions on MDL :D

    Thanks to Heldigard and PaulDesmond and everyone for their help, I re-installed win8 and tried the normal? activation route but no luck. Same message as before. Finally ran KMSnano and that turned the trick! You guys are awesome! I've leaned a lot in the last couple days bout scripting and other things just by reading and listening to you guys, Volume licensing is much less complicated to me now. I'm familiar with the old VB coding and scripting stuff but all this is pretty new to me. Again, thanks a lot you guys!!! :biggrin::):worthy:
