    To the people using the benderrodriguez address, if you get 0xC04F074 disable wifi and use a wired connection... worked for me anyway :)

    They don't, but I have the Gogoclient installed, and the bender server pings. Won't let me activate though.

    ok so what are the benefits of being activated? also, can I safely use all the apps on win8 now without microsoft being able to track me or something? Can i use windows update safely too?

    thanks

    People should try putting both 2001:4860:4860::8888 , 2001:4860:4860::8844 in ipv6 and 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 in ipv4. Reboot or disable network and renable it.

    believe me I have tried each and everything given up above. First it took me while to be able to ping ipv6 address, now that I am able to ping it successfully, activation is not working. Seems like machine having these IP are up but KMS server services are down or something...I spent last 4 hours doing this...seems like will have to wait for offline activation now.. :(
