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.

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.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

|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)?
