    There are KMS activation method, check threads in Windows 8 forum.

    For official activator, there is no activator yet.

    Do you know if any of these KMS activations are full VM KMS servers (or upgrades), or are they onyl the local ones?

    I don't believe that there is any KMS Server at the moment which could activate Windows 8.1 VL/Enterprise! Those procedures will be implemented by MS later on and maybe not before the public Release except and maybe a short time upfront of the Release Date to the high profile partners.

    The change from KMS5 to KMS6 seems nor so easy to "crack"! I believe that many "Crackers" are working day and night on an solution!:D

    I finally got the USB-3.0-Issue sorted. It's caused by the USB-3.0-Boost-Function. I had to completely un-install the Asus AI-Suite-II and to remove both eXtensible Host-Entries in the Device-Manager.

    After a re-boot I had to re-install the whole AI-Suite-II again, which now didn't offer / install the USB-3.0-Boost-Function. Another re-boot was needed and then I could connect everything like it was before under Win8 and even under the PreView.

    It's still quite strange, that it worked out of the box with the Clean-Install of the PreView, but I have to admit, that I didn't check, if the USB-3.0-Boost-Function got installed back then.

    Thanks to everyone for all the help / tip's and link's ! You are awesome !

    :worthy::thumbsup::groupwave:

    iso is 3.53 GB (3,798,214,656 bytes) size on disk is 3.53 GB (3,798,220,800 bytes)
    extracted iso is 3.60 GB (3,875,685,763 bytes) size on disk is 3.62 GB (3,897,786,368 bytes)

    adding a boot sector to make the usb bootable, plus the format of the USB could make up the difference as to why it will not fit. Several people have run across this issue. I haven't time to go further yet, but will look at it too.

    btw, most 4GB drives are around ~3.7GB

    Your 4gb is not big enough. Use a 8gb usb.

    I had the same problem yesterday. my 4GB wasn't big enough for the new 8.1 x64. But the 8.1 enterprise x64 and all x86 fits. 4GB Patriot Xporter XT using Rufus 1.3.4. I know we cant activate 8.1 Enterprise yet but is there even a key that will allow the installation?? Thanks

    Enterprise does not need a key (already has one), you can install with no problem - it wont ask you to enter a key during installation..

    fine, you do not have to enter a key during install but then comes the hard part: No KMS available atm and keys are very rare :D
