    New e-mail from MS with a free WMC key arrived just a few minutes ago :D
    Time to "upgrade" a KMS version to an unlimited legit version ...
    waiting only 30 hours
    (by the way, there was an earthquake in Canada/north of Seattle 7.7 on the scale - might be a reason for delays)

    The earthquake was wayyy north of Seattle. I'm in Vancouver, BC and I didn't feel a thing - not even an aftershock. And I'm still waiting for my WMC key after 30+ hours...

    Perhaps you installed one of your "many" machines in your company, where you could not adjust the time zone etcetera as you earlier said, during install on the first page with the wrong key ??
    I owe you this as promised: Everyone can adjust this during initial setup but most skip it when using the native language version because it is preset. At the beginning in August, when most of the users only had the english version available forgot to set the time zone to their location and then, the KMS activation failed due to the 4 hour range!
    Install W8 pro with a non VL key, then change it to VL and activate with KMS, and after this you can use the WMC key mailed to you > license fine for ever :D

    HM, I detected some hints which told to do it the original way, doing it as I said but maybe the short way is ok as well. I did it this way and was perfect like other said before. Anyway, a nice way to catch a W8 at a very very low rate :D

    What VL key should I use.

    I have my own VL key that I got from MS that I activate against my MAK host KMS (CSVLK KEY)
