    well, Im NOT talking about if is QEMU is slow or fast (running or decompressing), Im talking about BOTH BIG ERRORS, did you missed that?. I just posted that log file just make the things a lil more clear and do a complete report, because I was sure that you or another one would ask for that file. But that WAS NOT the point, Qemu HANGS, running IN the 7z file or OUT (uncompressed from 7zip) :tooth:

    As always, due to the variety of system configurations LaNano may fail to properly shutdown itself, nothing is really perfect. Tested on several different systems myself and never had this problem since version 16.
    As long as it activates the system at least, it´s not a BIG PROBLEM, i optimistically guess :D. There are manual versions which can be used instead, e.g the Select Editions.

    Just a quick question..

    I activated my Win 8 Enterprise 32bit PC with mooo.com without any problems a while ago but someone mentioned on the forums that the activation period would refresh/update/renew itself after a certain period as long as the KMS server was still accessible and available. I just looked at my current activation and I have 159 days to go, so maybe it doesn't auto update? (as mooo.com has been available over the past few weeks)

    Can someone shed some light on this "auto update" scenario?

    Renewal interval is set at 30 days by default, 180-30 = 150 days, so wait another 9 days to see if it renews your activation correctly

    KMS Activation Problem

    Dear all
    Since last night my PC failed to activate with all listed online KMS Servers with the Eror:0xC004F074 no key management service could be contacted. I disabled both firewall & Nod32 tried several time but no luck. Uninstalled product key, used coldZero Helper 1.5 again no luck. Deleted the token & data.dat & went through the same process no luck. I did a rearm now the Slmgr /dlv is showing License Status: Notification, Notification Reason:0Xc004f056, Remaining Windows rearm count:1001 but no recent activation information. How can I get out of this & activate by kms

    Thanks in advance

    That error is due to your time not being synced. Just sync your time and try it again. This is a very common error. Use my server after you have synced and if you still get an error post that error, PC name and last time you tried to activate and I can help.

    Code:
    lunar21.no-ip.org

    What is the name of your PC? I will look up on my server and see if you "talked" with my server or not and if so what is the problem

    EDIT: Sorry for that, seems my Host PC is offline at this moment. Since I am at work till 8pm (it is currently 10:40am), I dont know if it is net or power related. Try another one of thoes servers listed above and see if it will work.

    Woot, activated Win 8 Pro with media center yesterday after reading it could not be done. I originally activated Pro first via KMS, then installed media center using a free key. Once it was installed Win 8 lost it's activation and would not re-activate. So I disabled the lan and tried activation again through control panel - system which kept saying could not connect but eventually got the phone activation option. Called up and entered all numbers etc and now activated!

    Greetings
    The problem started when I used LM by hotbird. By default it sets the KMS port to 6200. Although I used slmgr /sksm X.X.X.X:1688 it was not reseting the port. I used the same LM & set the port to 1688 & everthing is OK now. Appreciate everybody's support.

    My server will be offline because "NO-IP" disabled my account. When i try to sing in, it says that "Your account has been disabled for violating the No-IP". :mad: So i will keep my server private for a while and i will see in the future if i will make it public again !!! :(
