Is it possible to activate a clean install of the MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.ENTERPRISE.RTM.X64.VOLUME.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT and use my Windows.8.pro.X64 originality activated via phone key ?? Can someone post or point me to some instructions please ?
No we can not, and I will be reinstalling windows in october anyways and for many times until then, so..
My original KMS Host on Server 2012 was reacting the same way when attempting to activate build 9471. Looked like the Host didn´t even recognize that attempt, as the counter in /dlv showed no changes after several attempts.
It's not KMS activation. I used the same method and it was KMS to start and then the WMC key converted it to Retail. I still don't know the answer to this yet either.
What I saw was two answers, which was asked by members to clarify as well. Op says yes it can, MrAnalysis says no it can't. Would like for Op to edit the first post if it really cannot be activated yet due to some activation WMC server not working. And yes, I looked through every page, took like 3 people to say it can't as well. So yeah. If can't please update first post, Op.
So the server returns a result of "Can not contact ..... bla bla" ? Maybe a method to prevent sniffers finding them ?
I am using windows 8 ent 64 bit OS (KMS activated). Can I upgrade to windows 8.1 without formatting my hdd?
And no, I used KMS, then later used the WMC key. So what i'm asking is the same, WMC upgrade key, can it work? Seems like it can't, yet Op's post say can. It's very confusing if I hadn't browsed through 61 pages to realise it doesn't work, would be a waste of effort for others as they discover through the hard way. Not complaining, just that people will be mislead by the first post.
