    I've follow this:

    1- I've used tutorial to activate KMS Key (i can't put the link the tutorial from this forum)
    2- After the activation, i've Selected the feature WMC, and enter the WMC key i've received on email
    3- Instal WMC, it will restart
    4- Activate
    Windows 8-2012-11-10-15-25-10.jpg

    I will have any problem?

    NO!

    Seems to be that all is just fine and you've an Windows 8 Pro WMC activated system.

    Only if you find WMC annoying, i guess :D. I´m very comfort with this. Backup your activation tokens for later use i would recommend at least :cool2:.

    you probably installed a W8pro version with VL key at the beginning and so you cannot do the WMC trick.

    Maybe, try to type "add futures" in greek ? your WINDOWS 8 Is also In greek, when you find click on "already bought a product key"( In Greek) fill in your free WMC KEY,of what mentioned before you have just the wrong Iso

    This is not the case here. When i Ctrl-Q and type "add features" i get the corresponding item in Greek and when i select it i get no click on "already bought a product key" at all, hence i cant use my free WMC to permanently activate my Win8Pro installation.

    Than Maybe the best way Is to download the RIGHT ISO,Activate by KMS,and see If you now have the option Add future(and use your free WMC key.).On this way you spent to much time to TRY to get this working (no change with the wrong iso).Downloading the right one and activate is much more quicker ;)

    Th .iso i used it has embedded in it all versions of Win8 both for 32bit and 64bit installations, is fixed by someone, maybe thats why
    but still i think the issue here is the serial number that it has slipstreamed, that is the VL key embedded, so i its not really thaty is the wrong iso but rather the key it has built into it.

    What other here think of this?

    Are you sure that You didn't click on "switch ON/Off Windows futures ? I saw In some earlier posts from you that you was In the switch On/ Off futures screen,instead of the windows add futures screen

    yes "Add features" is indeed the command. And that means to switch on/off windows featues. I did nothign wrong, its just that it never ask me for a product key to install WMC so i cannot use my free WMC key for permanent activation. But why? Is it because of the slipstreamed VL key?
