Is there a workaround to let it work with Windows 8 Pro N? (E.g., if there is a way to install Windows 8.1 Pro (not N) as an upgrade for Windows 8 Pro N.. )
Can anyone please help - I've installed Window 8.1 Enterprise edition and have followed all the instructions for KMSmicro 5.0.1 but when I click on 'Activate Windows' I get the following error message:- View attachment 25017 Help!!!!
you need to set the UTC to your location for example I live in California so I set the time to (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) make sure you choose the right + or - symbol right after the utc for example --->(UTC-08:00)
i read through some of the posts in this thread ... it mentioned three ways to activate windows 8.1 - using KMSpico or you can also do the manual steps to activate, lastly the KMSmicro... i would like to ask which is the best way or preferred way to activate the windows 8.1?... is this a raw installation when you install windows 8.1 ... i mean it will remove all your existing programs and documents... or it will only do an update over the windows 8.0 and all your programs & documents will remain untouched ... so i do not have to re-install my microsoft office programs... please advise and thanks in advance... cheers,
how is your current 8 activated? rouge? If it was official you can upgrade without no issues. if not you can upgrade by keeping all data but you will be faced with any of the available methods to activate it for 180 days using the KMS way
my current windows 8 version was activated using manual steps and Microsoft Toolkit 2p4p7 for extension... you mean i can keep all my microsoft office programs when i upgrade to windows 8.1 ... no need to re-install all my current programs in the drive... thanks for your answers... cheers,
surely you will keep all that stuff but your activations will be gone at first hand. New activation will be required for both 8.1 and office. New methods are discussed on the hot table these days
paul, my five microsoft office products were done by phone activation and it was the full activation and i have not done any extension to my five microsoft office products... do you mean my office products full activation will be gone when i updated to windows 8.1 even though i do not have to re-install the office products after the update ... is this correct?... cheers,
Is your key retail? If yes, no issues; just reenter it after upgrade and you're set. Else you have to reactivate. Yes, you are right. You don't have to reinstall Office but you have to activate (unless it is retail).
faikee, you mentioned to restore the office activation in 8.1 back to folder 2.0 ... is it the path is c:\windows\system32\spp\store\2.0 or c:\windows\system32\spp\2.0? ... can you provide the correct path?... how about the restore for the project and visio? ... project & visio have different product key ... do i just enter the project & visio product key the same as office product key (total three times) ... the system will know which key is for office, project and visio... please advise... cheers,
Thanks, I've activated Office 2013 on Win 8.1 successfully. P.S. I replaced kmsmicro.rom by the same name file in "KMSmicro_v5_0_1_RU_EN_ES" , and modified TimeZone to correspond to my location.
