confused I found several windows 8.1 activation methods in forum but which one is the best and most safe? (I need something like Daz windows 7 loader that was clean and great) KMspico or kms vl all or slmgr.vbs -ipk <KEY> slmgr /skms <KMS SERVER> slmgr.vbs -ato or ... PS : KMSpico create some processes, and would load my cpu?
They all do the same and they they are all clean and great... Go with the Toolkit Activator. Can't be easier than that
There are no "best" activation method. Every windows version can be activated in 3 ways, OEM, Retail and VL. (And you can trial reset windows for unlimited trial) OEM is sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers. It's how Daz's loader activates, but on Windows 8 it switched to online activation, blocking activators created this way. Retail is sold on stores, they are always online activated, no software using this way. But there was Media center pack keys when win8 is out, which is free. Micosoft blocked all of them to prevent abuse. Volume License is sold to big companies who install windows on 100+ machines. There must be one computer on network which activates every computer with it's "Master Key" But every VL activated windows must contact it's Master key server in 180 days to stay activated. It's why KMSpico works on background, emulating a master key server to stay windows activated. It's the only method for activating windows offline now. Trial is completely removed on windows 8.
Can Any one let me know whether Activation using Skype is yet working or not? i tried to activate using that method but after entering all the 9 group code she said we are unable to activate you windows copy you might be victim of piracy.... can any one suggest how to do that i follow each and every steps of method mention in this post: forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/47494-How-To-Activate-Windows-8-1-Pro-with-Media-Center-RTM I am currently having windows 8.1 pro preview
you cannot activate a preview which is activated and time bombed by using the preview key during install. Go after a full version and say bye bye to your preview.
I hav alot of data on My C drive and no more space to take backup ..... can i override the full version on it...i mean ot say no clean installation to save the data on my download folder. ****All my drive are full with data and i can not loos them
Microsoft Toolkit is perfect! but if you like to make a unattended install disk or just want to try some of the new one's they are all clean!
1. install Windows 8 in vmware 2. activate via kms 3. buy a mediacenter key for only 9.99 euro 4. install Windows 8.1 MCE on a real Maschine 5. use your mce key 6. have fun
I have tried this with my MCE upgrade key and it doesn't work. Is the key you are talking about puchasing an upgrade key or a full key? Thanks.
MCE keys are always upgrade keys (used with 'Add Features'), they require an OEM|Retail-activated Pro as precondition (at least officially). Thus you must create that ProWMC ISO yourself (there are tutorials here on MDL). MDL user murphy78 has a few pre-made ISOs on a well-known torrent-site.
