    Changing the date, then using woat or another kms activator didnt work for me. So I changed the bios date to 1st september, 2010 then reinstalled win8. After that activated with mini kms activator though any kms activator should work fine.

    Now the non genuine thingy is gone (says evaluation copy) and system properties says windows is activated.

    Right then, still not working for me, here's what I did.
    1. Install build 7850
    2. Install VMWare tools
    3. Set BIOS date back
    4. Try to use WOAT 3.2

    and it doesn't activate!

    Guys, set the bios date to 1st september 2010. Now reinstall win8. When you are at the desktop, you'll find "Evaluation copy" watermark, and in system properties "3 days to activate". Now use any KMS activator, it'll work. After that system properties will say "windows is activated". I just did all this.

    Thanks for these ways on activation dudes. As soon as my download has done as I'm on a slow connection, I'll run it on bootcamp and I'll try that KMS activator.
