    Sorry was not aware...

    On that note I am trying to figure out what is best to use. Hook(SCEO or Degales) , TAP or Windivert. I just need a reliable non intrusive method.

    You can use MTK 2.5b5, KMS_VL_All (SECO hook should work fine), or murphy's script for qad's release.

    Hey guys, So i activated for 180 days however i have a real WMC cd key and every time i try to add features to windows it says "you can't add features to this edition of windows"
    Anybody know a solution to this i just want to install my wmc key for it to be permanent.
    Before activation it lets me add the features but then it says i need to activate first before adding it...

    That's right paste the folder in your sources folder on your instal disk and your good to go, it does nork on a already installed system it's only for a install disk

    zwaan123 - So what you are telling is, if, i copy oem folder into source folder after mounting windows 8.1 ISO or Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO and then saving the ISO with a different name - i don't have to run KMS dashboard anymore. All OS installed from the new ISO image will be pre-activated? Right????

    Right. To be more accurate when speaking it will be auto-activated.:cool:

    Hi,

    i have been glad to use the KMS Dashboard for the other computers in my LAN. but i see a bug i think.
    i tested it in version 2.0.3 and 2.0.4, when im going to activate my 2012R2 where the KMS Dashboard is running, it fails when i click activate in the dashboard, and when im trying to do a slmgr -ato, it cannot find the specified file. I have not tried to install it on a windows 8.1

    Thank you for a perfect tool :worthy:

    8.1 Preview to 8.1 Pro

    Learnt a few things now -

    Firstly, do not use 8 in an enterprise environment. Stick to 7. Dont have 7, then get it.

    Upgrading from 8.1 Preview means losing your programs if you use the ISO - Since I have 3 machines with 8 - all licensed.

    Activation issues when going from Preview to final since I had 8 Core. Since the stupid installer refused to budge without a key, gave the 8.1 Pro key and upgraded to 8.1 RTM. Activated with KMSPico since I have to now spend a few hours re installing all the stuff, Microsoft so graciously removed, even the laptop battery care software.

    Thanks for the Pico thing - was not sure it would activate since no change in System Properties, but a reboot showed that it was activated.

    Best to never use a preview if you have a licensed pc! and if you do, make a back up of your activation files! and if you dont like Installing software all the time think of making a unattended install disk with all your favorite software on it?

    Thanks for this neat tool ... with constant improvement.

    To use for localhost activation:
    - Run 'KmsDashboard.exe'
    - Select 'Start Emulator'
    - Select 'Activate'
    - Select 'Close'
    Is this correct ?

    Notice that there are 2 deactivation command buttons: Windows, Office
    But only 1 activation command.
    Any particular reason why the latter is not separated into 2 buttons (Windows, Office) ?? :confused:
