# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Something does not work as expected ? _Before_ you open an issue, please make sure to at least follow these steps to further diagnose or even resolve your problem.
|
|
If you not follow this, do not expect that we can or want to help you!
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Are you activating a legit Windows copy checked with `sha256`, `md5` or is it maybe a warez torrent version ?
|
|
* Did you tried a clean installation (format all) ? You skipped entering any key during installation, turning off internet connection, first activating and then updating Windows (and eventually later upgrading) ?
|
|
* Have you installed all latest packages ? Especially before upgrading ? Are you upgrading using the "Update Assistant"/"Media Creation" tool to switch from Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 to 10 (for me has always worked) ?
|
|
* If isn't a clean install, so far as you have kept activated your Windows copy ? Have you used some other activator (maybe not trusted) that injects or changes .dll files and therefore may have corrupted something ?
|
|
* Have you forgot to reactivate at least once before 180 (45 or 30, depending on your version) days ?
|
|
* Is your system very tweaked with some service disabled (have you used [O&O Shutup 10](https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10) or similar tools) ?
|
|
* Have you disabled (or created an exception for) ALL firewalls (Public/Private/Office) / antivirus (Windows defender, etc..), server-side AND client-side ?
|
|
* Have you already activated with a OEM/Retail/other license and now you want to activate using `py-kms` ? So, have you switched to volume channel with appropriate [GVLK](Keys.md) ? Make sure you first deleted the previous key (example: [#24 (comment)](https://github.com/SystemRage/py-kms/issues/24#issuecomment-492431436)) ?
|
|
* Are you running the commands using the **elevated** command prompt ?
|
|
* Are you connecting correctly to your `py-kms` server instance ?
|
|
* Have you tried to fix with "Windows Troubleshoot", `sfc /scannow` or other strange Windows tools ?
|
|
* If you activated successfully with `py-kms` other Windows stuff, consider it could be an error specific for your PC (so you may need a scented clean installation) ?
|
|
* Is your `py-kms` really running ? Already tried to enable debug logs ?
|
|
* Did you already searched for your issue [here](https://github.com/SystemRage/py-kms/issues) ?
|
|
* Are you running the latest version of `py-kms` ?
|
|
* For Office: Did you made sure to use a Office **with** GLVK support ?!
|
|
* You found a real bug ? Could you maybe make our life's easier and describe what goes wrong **and** also provide some information about your environment (OS, Python-Version, Docker, Commit-Hashes, Network-Setup) ?
|
|
* When you post logs: Please remove personal information (replace IPs with something like `[IP_ADDRESS_A]`)...
|
|
|
|
If you have already thought about all of this, your last hope to solve your problem is reading some verse of the Holy Bible of activations: "MDL forums" - otherwise "I don't know !", but try open up an issue anyways :)
