Guys, why is everybody so worried about activation after 29th?? I did a clean install on my old XP laptop and used latest version of KMSpico to activate ... worked fine and xpr said activated permanently. M$ needs to change KMS protocol, other that that how are they going to prevent KMSpico to work??
because KMSpico and every other KMS software is made for KMS6, nobody can use KMS7 yet, because nobody has been able to reverse it or see it yet.. I cannot remember, but I think it was like 3 to 5 months before anyone got 6 to work when it was changed from 5. Timeline I am probably wrong, but either way, it will take time for someone to break KMS7 so the programs like MTK and KMSpico can use it.
Yes you are right, I took a long time to get KMSv6 to work (nevertheless awesome work to those who did it ) As far as I can recall it was clear from the beginning that Win8 uses KMSv6. But now we have an RTM'd Win10 with still KMSv6. Is M$ really considering to change the KMS protocol after RTM? Would be the first time in history I think
updated a couple extra home single lang images on the OP. Hopefully I'll get more tomorrow. I hope they aren't throttling that account I'm using and limiting it to one per x amt of time... :/
Never ever buddy ... KMS is time-limitted Activation Grace with 180 days (the others with 45 days are not suposed for that and a nice add).
IMHO i highly doubt they will manage to include KMSv7 until GA. Up to today there was not even a slight evidence that KMSv7 even exists as far as I know Yes I know, but Windows will renew it every time when it contacts the local KMSpico server (every logon I think) That "permanently" stuff is really far away from being honest
KMS7 can be jammed into current RTM builds via WU, and they can compile GA isos with it prior to posting.
Only needs to make HWIDs mandatory, completely shut-down 'offline' activation abilities or start whitelisting the Host ePIDs. As you can see ... three simple ways without even changing the protocol that much, it#s already in it. So slightly decrease high hopes.
I agree with you, could of course happen. My hopes are just high because WZOR or any other trusted release source hasn't lost a word about KMS changes yet. I will wait and see what happens at 29th EDIT: s1ave77 is right, KMS is not their only leverage point to deal with "us", I should keep that in mind ...
No-one is saying they will do at GA, BUT get rid of romantic ideas it would be difficult in any way. Multiply that with lesser control over updates and other 'features' which haven't been noticed so far .
I don't see why anyone is worried at all, Install Windows 7 and activate it, and upgrade to Windows 10 from there, by pass windows 8 completely, Win7 is much easier to get a genuine copy on. Forget KMS altogether.
