    This seems like an ideal solution (provided you have a server on your lan) , Can anyone provide more information on the kms hyperv solution (KMS_C_R2.rar) It dosnt seem to be working on my end ive got processes listning on 1688 in the vm and the firewall completly disabled yet no clients can activate
    Code:
    using slmgr /skms 10.0.0.15
    slmgr /ato
    or
    Code:
    slmgr /skms 10.0.0.15:1688
    slmgr /ato
    Has this method been killed too ? If not does anyone know the vlk used in the image or noip server for use with slmgr /ipk (i loath server core and allready have a 2008 r2 server)

    Thanks

    Will in the near future be a way to activate ProWMC either with KMS or with some other method?

    It never worked as it's missing essential files

    Ok, I have been updating this thread for a while awaiting any new information I can find. I am going to take a break for a little bit as I don't see too much changing. I'll continue to monitor things when I wake back up. Good luck everyone.

    THX a lot.

    Yes, I do. Microsoft could fill a complaint to no-ip.com and they could give them the control of that host name and point it wherever they want. Of course that No-IP would have to cooperate with Microsoft... they can't just take ownership of that host name just by magic :p

    It actually does. I have new information to report hapilly.

    After a lot of digging around i figured out the following:

    You can use the KMS_C_R2.rar. This is how

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    I am using VMWare Workstation 8.0.4

    Using VMWare create a Windows 8 Enterprise installation and enable Virtualization Technologies in VMWare and edit the new Windows 8 vmx file and add hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE” at the bottom of that file and start your VM.

    IN WINDOWS 8
    goto Programs and Features / Turn Windows Features on/off and install Hyper-V.

    Restart and now goto Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Hyper-V Manager

    Import Virtual Machine
    Then select the extracted folder KMS_C_R2
    Start the machine

    IN WINDOWS 7
    Download Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) from microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7887

    Once installed goto Programs and Features / Windows Features and under Remote Administration Server Tools --> Role Administration Tools enable Hyper-V Tools and connect to remote server, the W8 server IP

    I am using unity mode with VMWare Workstation so this step is not necessary for me. the follow the instructions at

    Step 1 youtube.com/watch?v=MrO0KsBnI8A&feature=plcp
    Step 2 youtube.com/watch?v=4MvNbR0yT0U&feature=plcp
    Step 3 youtube.com/watch?v=knwyjXyIJds&feature=plcp

    Hope this helps
