    Hi, I posted here a while back when I encountered problems with my Windows 8 installation (activated via KMS) and Office 2013 (activated by KMS).

    I currently have a Lenovo work laptop with OEM Windows 8 Core version.

    I want to install Office 2013 VL and activate via KMS but I am scared it will break my current Windows activation, as it did with my previous computer (My Windows 8 installation kept deactivating).

    Is there any way I can test this without breaking? Is there a way I can take a full laptop backup, and are there any known problems with regards Windows 8 OEM and Office 2013 VL KMS?

    Thanks

    I don't think it is "officially" supported, maybe that's why bunch of people are complaining :unsure:
    Again, I'm following Microsoft rules... :rolleyes:

    BTW, thanks for the info, i didnt know mtk could activate core and PWMC ;)

    I used the method on this thread: Office 2013 MutliLang 2 Click Setup & Activation! (for Win7 & Win8)
    Sorry can't post the link but that is the thread title.
    With the online activation...

    Go with recommendations by Alex. The mentioned Tool is rather old and was updated last long ago.
