Troubleshoot “connection to KMS server failed” error
I have received a lot of complaint emails saying that they could not activate their program after folowing instructions in my videos. The issues described here are related to an error message they got as below.
The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one… Please wait…
Sorry! Your version is not supported.
There are two main causes of this issue.
1. The cause of client
First of all, please checkout the latest versions of my scripts here. Most people have trouble using my old ones to activate their apps. Make sure that Windows Update is enabled and your intenret connection is stable before running the batch files. To check if my KMS servers are blocked or not, please open your internet browser then try going to: http://kms8.msguides.com/. If the page is visible, it means this server is not blocked.
One other point to note is that you need to run command prompt/batch file with admin rights.
Otherwise, the connection will be denied by UAC system.
2. The cause of server
Recently I need to do some experiments in the kms7 server so I changed the default KMS port (1688) to another one. And besides, I upgraded CPU and RAM memory on the kms server.
Because the number of daily clients is too big and still increasing over time, so the server can also be stuck at times. You can check and see if the server is overloaded or not here: http://status.msguides.com.
If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!

Hey not working with microsoft office 2019.
“The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one… Please wait…

did u fix this
good job buddy, I had a boot loop this morning because I was redoing my brothers burner computer to fix 2 other computers, lol, and I’d lost the 1 click from this morning, so mistakes I made not saving it to desktop, that is so weird, it was saved in documents at first, and I had trouble with a couple of others, now I’m convinced it was just the desktop issue, it’s legit version but for linux, getintopc.com your welcome if you haven’t already discovered this yet.
this is wrong : “successfully”

Thnx.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TESTS (access to url and run as admin) are done during procedure

I had problems with both the methods, unfortunately. My pc just won’t get activated. 🙁
I used method 2 of activation after having problems with method 1, and it worked perfectly ! Thank you so very much ! Greatly appreciated !
This was put on my pc and worked for a few mths then stopped. It’s now not activated. I think it said expiring before it became inactive. Now it says cannot to organization’s activation server. I’ve tried putting in the key again with no luck. What do I do ?
you are a genius.
Hi, I still cant activate because it stated that ‘the connection to my KMS server failed’ and my version is not supported. I do check for the two links you mentioned above and still doesn’t work. Help 🙁
when I change my product , I am getting an error as using windows non core edition
I’m still getting this error:
“The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one… Please wait…
Sorry! Your version is not supported.”
I have followed all instructions including run cmd script as admin but fails!
Please help.
I still have same problems
This didn’t initially work for me.
I had remnants of old attempted installs of Microsoft office on my hard drive.
So i uninstalled everything and used IObit uninstaller powerful uninstall to get all the registry files…supposedly.
Then I did a fresh install of Microsoft office and ran the “clickonce” as administrator
It all worked…I didn’t have to sign in…don’t think you could use onedrive or sync to your phone or anything that had to connect outside the computer but I had a working copy of Office 16.
BUT…when I reboot something must have reset (SOMETHING called home?) because none of it worked. It wanted me to sign in.
I ran “clickonce” several times…not supported.
Turned off firewall and microsoft security essential…ran “click once” as admin…not supported.
If I delete everything (Microsoft Office) do a clean install, run clickonce, it works…until I reboot.
Anything I can do to keep this from phoning home or whatever it’s doing to reset itself…uninstalling and reinstalling everytime I shut down my computer really isn’t a feasible solution.
Thanks
excellent job working perfectly
I’m still getting this error:
“The connection to my KMS server failed! Trying to connect to another one… Please wait…
