Actually not much changed in the activation. They put in a new API for the licensing. In order to really understand what changed you really just need to look at what features were added under the hood. All of Microsoft's licensing ties in with the tokens.dat / cache.dat in order to fully license Windows. I don't have much time to dig into windows now a days but my best guess is that they simply changed the keys to the kingdom as it were for KMS. The architecture itself for 8.1 hasn't really changed at all the tokens 2 upgrade probably did some changes for future proofing the OS to make it easier to add stuff later. Meaning there will be more features added when Windows 8.1 goes GA and the surface 2 comes out.
And probably a ton of background errors that fubar your experience... There's a reason we don't use things like that.
as YEN earlier said, those who only register for a quick d/l request are not worth being member of this forum
you register only searching for an http download. Don't be a leecher and download the torrent and SHARE WITH OTHERS
Anyone having problem downloading stuff from the over the internet with Windows 8.1? I'm having problem downloading with IE and Firefox. It sometimes start out slow(90KB/s) and than fast(3MB/s) and than it gets stuck at (25KB/s). I have to resume or restart the download for it to start again or where it left off.
Mikrosoft itself must be giving a way to stay and push 8.1 in the market! I can't believe that mikrosoft has not yet given the way to pirate it! We need searching and knowing more insiders to find a way. They will themselves show the path if they have to market the product. MS will try to addict you to the product by giving you the way of activating thru
Hmmm. My Ethernet/Lan connection usually have a name in my W8 but now my Networks Connections just call NETWORK. Try turning off Firewall, Realtime protection on Windows Defender, unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" but still having problem with the slow download.
