    It's hard, when just a simple man like myself, to deal with such geniuses....
    So this may come as a surprise.... but the reason I want to check, is to see if THE DAMN THING WORKED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    One might think said geniuses could figure that out for themselves, but I guess logic gets lost in the rush to post snide comments.

    One could use Activation Helper v1.5 to "Check status" and determine the time remaining since the last activation. We don't use it for activation anymore but it's good for this purpose ...T

    Thanks for your post!

    Could you tell me what kind of KMS server are you using?
    I Tried to send you PM but I don't know if it succeeded (no message in sent items..).

    Have a nice day.

    Right-o, that one really does the trick. Checking tonight, it tells me I have 178 days left, telling my that my "re-up" worked, and that it is counting down normally, as it's been 2 days since I re-upped...

    Thanks mate.

    I'm pretty sure you can check your activation in action center-> windows activation

    If you click the hyperlink for activation details, in case of KMS activation it will show the date when period ends.

    Yanno, I'm really not that stupid. For whatever reason, mine shows no such details... or else I would not have been asking for a tool to show me said info.

    If it is pro or enterprise you can just use the GLVK (KMS key)

    All Volume ISOs/DVDs have the gVLK embedded.

    I have just installed pro, trying to activate with different reliable servers in vain. After last command it takes longer than usual and responds with Error 0xC004OF074. When I ping the server it responds. Other than most times when I do installations, this time I had installed all updates before I went on to activating. Could system update be a reason for these failed activation attempts?

    I tried these hosts:
    osfp7g7.mooo.com
    osfpg7.no-ip.org
    lunar21.no-ip.org

    Should I keep trying different hosts? I assume after these 3 that something else might be wrong..

    Edit: Tried yet another host and it worked (win8kms4.mooo.com) -- There was no reason for me to panic. :eek:

    I have my server most of the time closed cause it's easier to activate now with Microsoft Toolkit !!! But if someone would like to activate with an online server just pm me to open it !!!!
