    This doesn't work anymore as W8 needs to be activated first before you can add WMC?

    I read that already

    I cannot add feature for the WMC as W8 now has to be activated first.

    What is the point of the WMC activation now? Merely running slmgr -ato deactivates so once genuine validation is in place or through various sneaky updates, MS will call these machines out. Don't know about you guys but I'm not comfortable running a non-genuine flagged machine.

    Than just buy it.

    If $14.99 is to much, use Linux or Android.

    So, what's your point?

    Why worry about non genuin state if you have a legit key and installation.

    He is conscious about the others. There is no clean method now to activate ProWMC w/o activating Pro (other than KMS).

    So saying WMC activation method is unlikely to last is spamming?

    This quote lets me assume that he is using a KMS activated WMC upgrade (yeah, yeah i know: Never assume anything :rolleyes:)

    If it was to be conscious about the others, i would have phrased it otherwise.

    S_A_S, how would you have phrased it? And you implied that I posted for a reason other than being conscious about others, which is?
