    1 Anyone with google can find them, they are public posted elsewhere.
    2 Every activation generates an event log entry which will be shown in server manager, solarwinds, gif events manager etc.

    No point in not posting them here, the admin will block external TCP 1688 connections next time he opens server manager regardless of how many more websites post them.

    True. But why make it easier for the undeserving to know? :p

    Hi Guys

    Have a weird issue going on.

    I installed a VLK and then tried to use the KMSmicro but the activate buttons are greyed out. In the info window I get this:

    ello memail, the program is ready to work.​
    Information about Windows ...​


    Name: Windows(R), ProfessionalWMC edition​

    Description: Windows(R) Operating System, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel​

    Partial Product Key: J8D3P​

    License Status: Notification​

    Notification Reason: 0xC004F056.​

    Configured Activation Type: All​

    Please use slmgr.vbs /ato to activate and update KMS client information in order to update values.

    From what I read it seemed I had a Retail version but the key I used was a VLK.

    The pc asked me to activate windows today and none of the vlk's I used would activate. So I used my gen windows 8 pro code and my media center code but it wont activate with them either.

    The error details tells me I have a VLK version installed.

    I have managed to get KMSmicro working OK but when I try to activate windows I get the following:

    - key installation Windows...
    - Activation Windows...
    Key Management Service machine name set to KMSMICRO-PC:1688 successfully.


    Activating Windows(R), ProfessionalWMC edition (096ce63d-4fac-48a9-82a9-61ae9e800e5f) ...


    Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.



    The KMS Windows state says:

    Am I going to have to reload the whole machine again ????

    I hope not !!!!

    Any suggestions gurus?

    Cheers

    ProWMC can only be activated via KMS channel by an emulated KMS server. KMSMicro is a VM of a real KMS server.

    It appears to be true that Microsoft has dropped Windows Genuine Advantage, for good.
