KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
I created a KMS host with a volume license key for MS partner.
But when I tried to active any KMS client in my intranet with the following command: C:\Windows\System32cscript slmgr.vbs -ato I saw the error: 0xC004F039 The computer could not be activated. The Key Management Service could not be reached. Why is it not the 0xC004F038 error (n-count is not enough)? |

KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
Hello William,
The KMS server machine is not activated. Until the machine that is running the KMS Server service, is activated you will get this message. Once you activate that machine against the Activation servers, then the KMS clients will be able to communicate to the KMS server. At which point you will start getting the 0xc004f038 messages until the n-count hits 25.

KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
Sorry that I didn't mention that I ran slmgr.vbs -ato at the KMS host, the KMS host was successfully activated by itself. So, there must be other reason for this problem. Any other hints? P.S. I run telnet mykms:1688 from a Windows XP and the error is: Could not open the connection to the host, on port 1688: Connect failed. So I guess the Software Licensing service has some problem. But I can see from the Services management panel that the Software Licensing service is of Started status. ""Darrell Gorter[MSFT]"" wrote in message ...

KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
Hi Darrell,
I am wondering can we reduce the number of client since I have to run the test before I can roll out the Vista. Since, I dont have 25 machine on the test environment. Is there any way to reduce the client count on KMS host for testing purpose first? it is really hard for us for do the testing.

KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
Did you have any luck getting past this? I am in a similar
situation. I ran the cscript slmgr.vbs -ipk volume license key and that worked but when I tried to then activate the machine using the - ato option, it always failed. So, I activated it using the MAK license we own and that seemed to work (its activated) but it is not receiving any kms requests from our clients and appears to be dead.

KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
The first thing I would try is ensure that name resolution is working to the internet, so that it can reach the KMS servers... The second thing would be to go to the below link for some solutions given. http://forums.techarena.in/operating...ms/1125683.htm -- Vespera ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vespera's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/vespera.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-set...all/669067.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

KMS Client Activation returns 0xC004F039 error
I had the same problem with the 0xC004F039 error After some poking around, I discovered that enabling the KMS server process DOES NOT automatically open the port in the firewall that allows the server to accept activation requests (on a 2008 R2 server at least). Looking in the firewall config, there was a "Key Management Service" rule, but it was not activated, so the firewall was blocking all KMS requests. Once I activated the firewall rule, allowing KMS traffic through, everything worked properly. I bet half of the people having trouble with a new KMS server trip over this same problem. -- mcscotty Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
