    First I should thank you all for this amazing community. I have learned a lot of tricks and tips from this forum.

    I have a problem in activating Windows 8 Pro in KMS method. I downloaded Windows 8 RTM version and installed using the retail Pro version key *****-*****-*****-*****-CRYQH.

    But when I tried to use KMS activation I saw a error as "Error: 0xC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid"

    Can someone please help me to activate Windows 8 Pro for 180 days using KMS activation?

    You installed retail with that key, now change the key to Pro (what the guy below you used)

    You install retail with CRYQH
    Change key to J8CK4 to kms activate

    If you want to activate against a host better do it online. Or build your own host :D.

    Syntax is incorrect, should be:
    Code:
    slmgr /skms kms.cc.columbia.edu
    You forgot the empty space after slmgr. Server you used, seems to be down too, so use the one in my code box, this one is on atm.
