Windows 8 cannot be activated, threshold continue to increase

Hi guys,.

All my windows 8 can not be activated. Can anyone help?

Phenomenon:

1. all 8 windows remain inactive, all R2 Datacenter 2012 Server enabled.

2 to host KMS, the stop threshold increase for 2 days (current number is 13)

3. in the KMS host, I can see the event as there are so many CMID duplicates.

4. in Vcenter (view composer), there are a few errors (event ID: 8198, License Activation (slui.exe) failed with the following error code: hr = 0xC004F074)

5. in the virtual machine record parent. I see in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmware-viewcomposer-ga, the SkipLicenseActivation registry value is 0

Background:

1. windows version 8: VL version

2. we have more than 10 2012 R2 datacenter server,

3. we have more than 20 windows 8.1 Professional.

4. We purchased enough licenses vl for win8 and 2012 R2 server.

Thanks in advance

Thanks guys, I fixed temporarily this problem. Now all my customers to win8 are enabled.

What I did: in some clones bloodlines, I manually run slmgr /rearm, then restart, then slmgr /ato; I see every time I did, the threshold that would increase. Finally after the reached threshold 25 and less than 2 hours, all virtual machines enabled.

What I think: somehow some pools (pool of students and personnel pool) share the same CMID (SID), which cause the threshold of virtual machine stay in 13 (because I also a few 2012 R2 datacenter server);  slmgr /rearm give virtual machine activates a new CMID, after slmgr-ato, the machine virtual wil contact my KMS host and increase the number, finally number of MILES reached 25, and then activated all the vm.

Reason?  Is sharing same CMID due quickprep vms? I use sysprep to initiate my vm (Gold Master) parent, then recreate linked clone pool?  Yet the confusion and need some tests?

Thank you

  • Windows Server 2012R2 KMS Activation Key - do not increase

    Hi all

    I managed to set our key KMS data center on a dedicated server of KMS in our Organization. The KMS server is published in DNS (nslookup-type = _vlmcs._tcp = all OK). I started to install different Windows ("autonomous" and facilities of VDI) 2012R2 servers, however the number of KMS does not increase even if I have activated at least 30 machines. Note that our facility is for key KMS data center of Windows Server edition 2012R2, no office or Win7/8/10 KMS key.

    The current number is set to "10" (all the time).

    I also tried to broaden the pool of the VDI, but the number remains the same.

    I did not CMID duplicate, I don't have a rogue KMS server (and clients are not directed to another KMS server - we have only a KMS server in our Organization).

    I also followed this post, but without success:

  • Satellite P300 - 18 M - Windows Setup cannot continue

    Hi, my first post here, hoping for any help.

    I recently bought a Satellite P300 - 18 M, from an independent retailer with no return policy. good on the PC is a brand new, sealed, etc and I get the Toshiba standard warranty.
    When I do the initial installation I received a message all in settng upward of Windows Vista Home "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows click on 'OK' to restart the computer announced then rstart installation. »
    I tried a few times more full-time catering and the third HARD drive it installed, but...
    either he starts, I get to the password screen then all invent locks, the mouse pointer freezes then the screen becomes full of horizontal lines.

    or

    I've had a few times in windows for a few minutes (2-5 minutes) then the mouse pointer freezes, 3 seconds later the entire screen is full of horizontal lines, everything locked can only turn off the coast.
    Toshiba software error, so no warranty claim and advised that I buy the DVD (£29.90) that I ordered it, on a delivery of 14 days of recovery.

    Any other help or suggestions much appreciated as im not confident of this DVD, being a brand new sealed unit, why corript of Vista in the first place.

    Thanks in advance

    Andy

    Hello

    In my view, that the P300 is equipped with the ability to drive HARD recovery. This means that you could restore the operating system of the image that is stored on the HARD drive.
    To do this, you will need to power the laptop and must press the F8 key.

    A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then, you must choose the option called Toshiba HDD recover or something like that. It should be the last option.
    This procedure helps you reinstall Vista again.
    This facility could be that you can burn the own recovery disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    But if the recovery of HARD drive does not work you will need to use your orderly recovery DVDs and have to restore it again.
    If the laptop will not properly work after using Recovery then DVDs I recommend to contact the ASP again and to explain the whole story.

    Good luck

    Hi evan9074,

    So was the question then? You can run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to see if there are compatibility issues that you have with hardware or software that would prevent an upgrade to Windows Vista.

All is well until that right at the end of the installation it gives me this error "Windows Setup cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed. I tried this several times but the same results. I used the windows Upgrade Advisor to see if my computer is compatible and it is no problem.

    Restore the previous installation of Windows and do the following:
    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r
    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    In addition, run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it will scan your system and provide a report telling you if your PC can run Windows 7, and if there is no compatibility problems with your hardware or programs.

    My laptop had a blue screen and I couldn't get rid of it, I went into safe mode and restore my computer to factory conditions.

I've restored my computer several times and never had this problem.

    You should try another recovery.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Hi, Mary

    I'm using the Enterprise version that it froze during installation, so I waited around 9-10 Minutes still nothing
    so I started keys at random because I was waiting for a long time then restarted my PC and now I can't start my pc.

    >:-( >:-( >:-( >:-(

    Boot from the Windows 8 DVD or USB media that you created
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
