    Hello guys.
    Today is 01.02.2013, my windows 8 professional WMC is still active.
    I remind
    I activated Windows 15/11/2012 using data.dat and legal WMC key
    I need your opinion.
    How long will it take, do you have new information.
    There were some indications that it will last only until 31.01.2013, but..... Thanks.

    The WMC loophole is still there, I just activated mine the other day (Win8 Pro 32-bit KMSnano-activated + free legit WMC upgrade key from M$ promo). Activation date is Feb. 5 2013.

    Too bad I can't post the screencaps since I don't have 20 posts yet:

    I read in other forums that a virgin free WMC key could still be activated, can some MDL members confirm? :p

    Yep can definitly confirm this. Tested on Win 8 Pro Retail with a virgin WMC Key some minutes ago. After the reboot system started already activated. No phone activation required in this case :D.

    I tried a couple of days ago with the same procedure I had done before successfully many times but failed now.

    Please post your procedure.

    Thanks.

    As said above, tested with a Retail activated Pro, as it was orininally intended by MS. Started the "Add Feature" process with virgin key and after reboot system started already activated, nothing to do in addition. No magic involved :D.

    So, if we use a wmc key to activate now with a Win8Pro with WMC (home made) will it still pass?

    lmao :laie:

    a virgin key is simply a key that has not been used.
