Hi guys, I have two computers that were activated using the forbidden mode (calling MS UK) and now I have to legit keys from dreamspark. What are the cmd commands to dump the previous activation and then to activate the new keys? The last one I think it is slmgr -ipk KEY Will I encounter any issues doing this?
Why? Keep using the old ones until you encounter trouble (if any) Keep the new ones as spares if you ever need to re-install
If you run this command: Code: slmgr.vbs –upk It will uninstall the key that you have right now. Then you can set the new key Code: slmgr -ipk <<Your New Key>> SLMGR.VBS /SKMS <<Your KMS Server>> SLMGR.VBS -ATO slmgr.vbs /ckms The only thing I don't know: what should be the KMS server addresss. I think you could use the same servers that are posted here: forums.mydigitallife. info /threads/35640-Windows-8-KMS-Activation Look for ONLINE servers inside the thread.
No, dreamspark key is Retail key, so no need activate it through KMS Server just uninstall your key [slmgr /upk] install your key [slmgr /ipk YOURKEY] then activate [slmgr /ato]
