    got it to work folowing the steps in the first post.i just decided to select my own country.called the number and followed the directions and now activated.when i followed those steps and got to the part to install wmc,after putting in the key and it got accepted(i stayed disconnected from the internet)it started the wmc update but at the end got a message saying there was an error.so thought it didnt work,but then i restarted my computer,and got notified that it was updating when it shut down and again when it restarted,and it had wmc installed.then i continued the other steps.thanks.(i reconnected to the internet before clicking the activate box after entering the numbers but not sure if that made a difference)

    Since data.dat got pulled and we have to create our own, would pulling data.dat from a KMS activated Win8 system work?

    It´s only working if you use a non-blocked and non-blacklisted Retail key. That needs a big portion of luck, if you don´t have your own.

    It´s a be smart or be defeated game...stop that annoying begging.

    BTW...FYI: So far i didn´t need any Data.dat swap to activate with proper Retail key, it will pass the phone route.

    Tested the Tokens swap with several data.dat and complete store backups to no avail or ended up with a fubared system, where even sppsvc refused to start.

    Do Not Ask Again you will regret it.

    I had success with using a valid retail key then added WMC with my upgrade key and it activated over the net.

    That gives me a dejavu...remember Win 8 and no working Emulator, than the first online Hosts appeared.

    Some even for an hour or two...so all interested were waiting for it to come :D.

    First Host Tokens leaked to rebuild in VM.

    Those VM got from giant to small to tiny :good3:.

    Than the ingenius members here developed an Emulator....the things normalized.

    Is it really only one year back...was a newbie back then...good ol´ times :sniff:.
