KMS method to activate your Vista
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 4.12.2006
cnewton report this how to. Have you guys tried this. Does it actually work?
Step 01:
Install Vista FINAL RELEASE with Key YFKBB-PQJJV-G996G-VWGXY-2V3X8
Choose "Business edition" ONLY not others !!
Step 02:
When Windows setup completed and Internet access setup completed.
Open Command Prompt under "Administrator Mode",
That is, right click the Command Prompt icon, select "run as admin"
Activate your Business Vista against sito.kmip.net
(This is a private KMS server for Volume License 2.0a activation).
Now in command prompt (Admin mode) type:
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -skms sito.kmip.net
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato
Activate completed !!
Now you may wish to check the activation status type:
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dlv
KMS Volume License activate requires re-activate every 180 days
The reactivate will be done automatically.

Show all commentswow! this sounds amazing. has anyone tried this method yet?
as soon as i get my new hard drive i will
test this method and i will post results!!
thanks for sharing this method man!!
keep up the great
work guys!
it doesn't work, keeps giving the same error over and over 'rpc server unavailabe'
make sure you enter the cd key before setting up the kms server. i enter the cd key and it gets rid of the rpc
error.
i was wondering has it worked for anyone else so far?
been using this since yesterday.
works perfect :-)
just got done with it, this works like a charm,you guys rock!!!!!!!!!!
yes this method works exactly as stated! thanks guys!
the activation via this method only provides activation for 6 months (179 days) - so an alternative will need
to be sorted by then or maybe the owners of the server will have something updated by then? nevertheless it
is a great help for testing purposes of course :d
ps: to check the activation expiry and details
enter this from a cmd window (running in admin mode)
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dlv
"kms volume license activate requires re-activate every 180 days
the reactivate will be done
automatically"
can this method use any language of vista(business)?
this is so great! by the way, anyone knows exactly how the reactivation works?
key management service (kms), does not include any direct communication with microsoft's servers. rather, it
requires systems to be activated against one centralized server which is not hosted by microsoft but the
business itself. every 180 days client systems must activate against the kms server, although activation will
typically occur each time the client enters the corporate network. as you can see, the kms is ideal for
environments where the users are constantly connected to a company's network.
will this disable the mce portion of vista?
i've got vista rtm enterprise, which also uses kms. can i use this same method on it?
why replace the old crack with one that only works for business edition?
come on this crack is useless. this server won't be online forever. we need a real offline crack!.
the real offline crack is waiting until jan 31 and buy the legit dvd from microsoft. is that what you meant
joxer? get a life!
you can say whathever mr.x but the fact is that we don't know how long this server will be avaible so it's
just a temporary crack like the rc2 key one.
ofcourse we have a problem here.the kms server works only for 180 days and then needs reactivation from the
server.so this chinese server will not be online forever...ms may shut it down.so someone released a vmware
kms image so we can create our server and have it activate forever :) here is the link...

i didnt try it yet but i thing these
are gread news because many people did it.
here it is what i found
??:????vmware workstation
5.5.3?vmware workstation : vmware workstation 5.5.3
use :
ip addresses were changed to shorter
with the ip address of a server, without having to restart, after the opening of the network connecting
banned;
slmgr.vbs -skms ip;2, a caretaker authority operating slmgr.vbs -skms ip;
slmgr.vbs -ato;3,
a caretaker authority operating slmgr.vbs -ato;
slmgr.vbs -dlv;4, inspected activation slmgr.vbs -dlv;
they will call it a day

within 180 days we are going to see a proper crack or many other servers like this
can someone upload the vista_kms_1_.rar in rapishare?
thanks
why do we have a vmware image? cant you just release the server software?
if we had the server
software (and the source code would be nice) we could activate by setting the server to localhost.
nothing can stop ms from resecuring the server.
the torrent is one big rar-file [1.53gb]. does anybody know if there is a password on it?
theres no pass word on it
when its unpacked it gives you 6 files
vmware 62kb text document
vmware-0 14kb text docment
windows vista 9kb nvram file
windows vista 5,133,184kb vmdk file
windows vista 1kb vmsd file
windows vista 2kb vmx file
dont no wot you do with them :-(
the server is set up in china. how the hell is msft gonna go over to china and be like "hey, nock it off!"
the point of kms activation is to make activation independent of mccrosoft
they will probably just
blacklist the product key via windows updates, just like they do with xp and wga.
these are files which run in vmware virtual machine. dl this proggy from a bt site then copy the the whole
unrared kms folder to the "virtual machines" folder to your c drive. the go open virtual machine where you
can open these files
when should i type the cd key, during installation or after ??
one thing though, it's a matter of time for microsoft to find out the huge amount of activations with the
same key!!!
this works like a charm. ran the image and activated off of it. i would assume i can keep reactivating off of
this image because the image says it is permanently activated!
can you tell me how to use the files plz
open the image with vmware 5.5.3 build 34685 (probably other versions will do anyway)
- run it
- see
if some hw differences require a reboot (for me it was a different processor)
- configure the vmware
virtual network adapter as you prefer (i set it for nat), and eventually reboot again
- check the virtual
machine ip address (in my case it was 192.168.255.131)
- disable that machine firewall (you will be using
it for activation purposes only)
- in the "real" (or in my case simulated) vista environment open a cmd
prompt
- write slmgr -skms ip, where ip is the ip of the virtual machine with the kms server, and wait
for confirmation
- write slmgr -ato to activate, and wait for confirmation
- if everything went ok,
use slmgr -dlv to take a look at your new 180 days
thanks will give it a try
please. when should i put the cd key? during or after instalation, and do i have to so the second part(about
the files) or just do what was posted here about kms? thanks
it does not matter. i did it after.
will it pick business edition when i puti it iin during? or will it ask me to pick one?
the cd key is specific to the edition you are installing. so if you use the supplied key it will be the
business edition.
how can everyone just use something like that? i mean, it could be logging all ips to start prosecutions?
right?
and that kms image is a corrupted torrent file, or so my program told me...
will updates and all that stuff work with this?
as i said it wouldn't last long.

joe. how can you say the image is corrupt when people are using it.
paesan, have you rolled the clock forward on your vista busines vm and tried to activate through your server
image. if so did it extend the timer?
so does this work?!??!?!?!?! + updates !!????
i rolled the clock foward and it automatically extended my activation for another 6 months, however windows
update said it encountered a problem. this might be due to the date be out of wack.
for me this is all
in fun because i have a free copy of business edtion coming in the mail. i participated in the free offer by
watching 3 web casts.
me too i participated in the free offer by watching 3 web casts also.
but i don't think we'll get
it until next year right? it hasn't been released.
in theory you should have that in 8 weeks, but they ran out of copies very fast since it was posted on
fatwallet and slickdeals, so i doubt they will be able to honor many of the "free copies". i know that i
got nocked out of it even though i did the webcasts and ordered.
how did you get knocked out. if you registered and did the webcast then you are eligable
works great..just follow install instruction..mine says activated...so we'll see in 180 days what
happens..keep u posted til then..
