Msdn activation limit

Troubleshoot the network connection between the KMS host and the client. Make sure that TCP port default is not blocked by a firewall or otherwise filtered. KMS needs to be activated. Please contact system administrator. This can be common in mixed environments that contain application and operating system-specific KMS hosts, for example. This can be caused by a typo in the KMS key or by typing in a Beta key on a Released version of the operating system.

Install the appropriate KMS key on the corresponding version of Windows. Check the spelling. If the key is being copied and pasted, make sure that em dashes have not been substituted for the dashes in the key. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information. Time sync is important to system and network security for a variety of reasons. Fix this issue by changing the system time on the client to sync with the KMS.

User Account Control UAC prohibits activation processes from running in a non-elevated command prompt. I was later told by another developer that only the MSDN versions of VS may be installed multiple times, the retail copies are locked after 2 installs. And I will have to call microsoft for assistance if I need to reinstall on another computer.

I develop on 4 computers, one main desktop, one backup desktop, 1 laptop and 1 UMPC. Is there no way I can have them all installed at the same time so that I need not uninstall and re-install each time I use a different computer? Thursday, December 18, AM. The following Readme file could be useful. My last interaction with a local MS rep was kinda bad; I enquired about the eligibility of academic licensing, and he advised me to "ask a few resellers".

He didn't sound very confident dispensing the advice too. Does anyone know how many activations are possible with this type of key? Thank you. Monday, August 17, AM. Hi Andrei, It depends on the type of VL agreement you have. There are also a lot of factors which determine the number of activations. Monday, August 17, PM. I'm not sure if MS changed anything with Windows Mustafa Toroman.

Ok, thank you.
