Maybe something like upgrade key or even the wrong version of Win7

"0xC004F061" when trying to activate Windows 7, it means you're using a product key for an upgrade version of Windows 7 and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your computer when Windows 7 was installed. To install an upgrade version of Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP must be installed on your computer.

KMS resuires a minimum amount of (nof virtualized) hosts to connect before is ca start activating Licenses. This is an anti-piracy measure.
quote from http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/product-activation-faq.aspx
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 you must have at least five (5) computers to activate.
Windows Vista or Windows 7 you must have at least twenty-five (25) computers to activate. These thresholds can be a mix of server and client machines to make up the threshold number.
You should connect more clients in order to succeed in activating.
