Activating Windows Vista with KVM

Activating Windows Vista with KVM

[Haydn Solomon]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 281 bytes --]

I'm able to install Windows vista 32 bit ok, however when I try to activate
online, it seems to start the process ok but then fails with the following
error.

"A problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error code 0x80072F78"

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Haydn

ok i googled 0x80072F78 and it give me:
"0x80072F78The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response."

we have patch that we need to insert into kvm that should make the cpuid
of the guest look like the cpuid of the host
i saw at least one program (cpu-z) that this patch make it to work,
maybe it can help with this activation error?
i will check this out when the guy who wrote this patch will be here

Google had this to say: http://tinyurl.com/yv6rm2

Looks like a Windows problem, not a kvm issue.

Well that's MS for your $$$ . I'll try updating new install and do some
troubleshooting from MS side. Thanks for replies and will let you know
if/when I have any success.
