    Any thing that is not legit retail or MAK key has always the risk at some point if Microsoft comes out with WGA for W8 has possibility of deactivation .. If you backup your activation or image the HDD you should be able however to get back to activated state ..

    Type in command prompt (run as administrator):

    sfc /scannow

    At the end see if system still active!

    Activate Windows 8.1 Enterprise

    [Moderator note: It is basically hacktivation i.e exchanging tokens from Preview builds. It is not future-proof & not supported in MDL.]
