    So, from my little understanding this will keep my copy of windows 8.1 activated and i will be able to update for 180 days or untill the activation servers wont work right?

    KMSmicro will keep you activated for 180 days. And another 180 days. And another, and another.....it is an offline solution, meaning it will keep you activated as long as you want. Assuming you run it of course.
    KMSpico (which is defunct as of now) will keep you active for 180 days (would have, rather). But if you know the KMS server then you can activate right away and it'll keep you active for 180 days.
    Simple enough?

    Windows Update works with any of these. WU needs your install of Windows to be activated and no system files tampered with (putting it simply). KMS does none of those. So yes it works.

    I hope this makes it simpler:
    KMSpico:
    1. Online activator- needs a KMS server to be available
    2. Not working now
    3. Its work can be done manually any time using CMD
    4. Once you activate using this your activation is valid for 180 days (applies to all KMS methods)

    KMSmicro
    1. Offline solution (Can be run without internet if your time is properly synced)
    2. Working now, and will always work
    3. Have to run manually once every 180 days
    4. Activation lasts for 180 days. Run again after 180 days to renew.

    Think of KMSmicro as having a KMS server in your computer. Cool, yeah?

    This is indeed true. In Windows 8.0, MTK was able to activate by replicating a successful activation response, but we have no idea if the same process will work for 8.1.
    They've already shored up the KMS upgrade method to block the 8.1 Pro KMS-activated to retail ProWMC upgrade.
    I suspect we'll find out shortly when they figure out how to get around the non-localhost issue in KMSemulator.

    Win 2012 r2

    The only drama is that for those that need to activate WIN 2012 R 2 the party is over:mad:.............. this is because KMSpico was the only one that could do it..............lucky I did it 2 weeks ago...............

    That is all I wanted to say. So, hopefully, somehow, a KMS key for the KMS server will fall from the sky and a KMSmicro solution will show up to save all of us !

    It is very simple.

    The only realistic activation solution so far is KMSmicro 5.0.1 by Ratiborus.

    It works offline so:
    1.You are not dependent on internet connectivity and
    2. You don't need online working servers.

    You can run it anytime on any number of pc's without worrying about online servers etc.

    Every other solution is an outdated workaround that works half of the time.

    It would greatly improve matters if some of those asking would read - at least a few pages, before just posting the same questions that have been answered many times over. It was the same last year, guess that's just the way it is, but it would improve matters if some posters read a little bit before posting.

    I am telling that KMSmicro 5.0.1 can also activate Visio 2013 and Project Professional 2013 on Win 8.1
    :)
