I recently ran into a problem where the firewall on my KMS server was not letting activations come through.  Also the current count was back to 0.  I tried manually activating windows with the command slmgr.vbs -ato.  This command returned the error saying the count was insufficient.  I knew I had to have 25 workstations in the count before anything would be successful.  Below is the command.  Run this for a least 25 computers.  Replace “computername” with the DNS name of the computer you are trying to activate.
