    Should they respond to ping? 'coz none of 'em are.

    You could upload to a Mediafire or something...

    This is a total shot in the dark, but ping is un-reliable. I'm working on trimming the fat from the file now, but seriously everyone must know how insane of a crap shoot this is.

    nmap -v -PN -sS -oN Scan.txt -p 1688 91.149.0.0/16

    -v = verbose
    -sS= Scan Ports
    -PN = Skip Ping
    -oN = Output normal to Scan.txt
    -p = define port to scan

    I don't writing many times here, because I speaking only when I have something to say...

    I don't understand a.... small thing in this.... Hollywood style situation: the kms server its down, noooooo is up, noooo is down etc etc... (that brings into my mind: its a bird, its plane, no.... its superman).

    Generally the whole thing with the activation of windows, i knew always that with each new release bringing mass frenzy to the peoples around the globe.

    Even now in the dark, difficult years of the economical crisis, is more understandable this phenomenon for the activation. I understanding it as I understanding very well the peoples and their reasons (i am one of them after all). I don't have anything bad in my mind. i just want to give you my opinion.

    Anyway, as i saying before, i do not understand why those who brings this kms servers in the ... surface, why they don't hosting their servers in countries which ms and every ms cant do nothing more than a simple complaint. There is some countries which are more friendly with the "sharing" and they don't give a ..... %74633$%#%$%# about European or US laws....
    I know, my message is a bit aggressive and unfair to the great efforts from many developers and members which are trying to give their bests, but.... my... question about this situation cannot be... stupid, but... proper and reasonable (in my point of view)...

    You get that error because the servers were not meant for Win 8 Activation. They're for Win 7.

    according to liveipmap site, the ip belongs to a mobile phone network. So if they've been using GPRS/3G to get the server online (a great way to anonimize BTW), they must've just run out of credit

    P.S. Is there a way to activate Win8 Core version using KMS? I know no servers are up ATM but eventually?

    Ok, going to bed guys. So the updates to the first post page will be delayed for a bit. I'll continue to update it as soon as I wake back up.

    Thanks, got my test machine activated last night while second server was still up.
    I don't think 8 will become my main OS anytime soon though, aero glass is so much nicer than metro IMO.

    Best Wishes

    1 question in my mind that (when answered) you may include question in your faq (first page)

    What happened to my activation if i reset/refresh Windows 8 ?

    Answer is not known can someone try out...


    PS
    This question is not so important as backup activation will work if reset/refresh will remove the activation.

    Meh. A really anonymous way would be exposing the KMS as a TOR hidden service; there'd be no way to trace the IP of the host. Unfortunately nobody who's lucky enough to run a KMS seems to be interested in doing this.

    I wanted to ask, I have windows 7 Enterprise and is permanently activated with a MAK key. Is the same also possible for windows 8?
