    By the way, the RC gvlkServerDatacenter [VRDD2-] and gvlkServerStandard [YNBF9-] keys work with this build, to activate against existing KMS. Though not mentioned anywhere officially, ServerStandard is included and can be installed if you use the appropriate key.

    Now that we can make own keys life is just that little bit easier...

    Keep in mind that these generated keys don't pass full validation. That's why if you generate a key for Windows 7 and perform an online check it'll fail, so I wouldn't be surprised if Server 2012 R2 doesn't remain "genuine", especially if it's abused. It's also the reason I don't bother to generate any OEM keys, since they're blocked very easily.

    Have you already created the hash table for Windows 7??

    What about generating MAK keys and testing the activation count?

    It is already discussed... their counts should be invalid.

    That so if MS used the secret parameter of "1" and how ever the MAK keys are generated, are generated with the parameter of "2"- then all the keys made using parameter 2 would never output a key that was made with parameter "1"?

    Exactly; simple Mathematics.

    Roughly the product key is an output of a function consisting 3 parameters like f(x, y, z). If it becomes f(a, y, z) then obviously output is different.

    Has someone emulated MS activation servers yet? Not KMS I know there is that already.

    But Win7 keys are in abundance, so no need for generation. Server might not even have check, as it is expected that systems are isolated from Internet...

    But it is all just fun...

    edit

    Just realized that was myself asking for Enterprise OEM SLP key....

    I released a list of ID's when the tool was released, but didn't bother to do too much digging since it's kind of useless without the secret value.

    AFAIK Server 2012 still has WAT built into it. I may be wrong about that (would need to check eventvwr.msc) as I've not used it in a while, but even if I am wrong then I would expect MS to release something to combat it as a single online check would deactivate every system with these generated keys.

    When people generate these "fake" keys they can get mixed up with real keys, which is obviously something we'd like to avoid. So if people are going to use generated keys then I'd ask you all to not post them at MDL so that they don't get copied onto other websites and over time get mistaken for being legit keys.

    True, but why would anybody bother to blacklist keys for a version that is easily accessible in legit ways anyway (SLP OEM, GVLK)?
    Obviously fake generated keys are useless for online retail / MAK activation from start, so no issue there...

    Pity. Always wanted to see Enterprise activated with OEM SLP key...
