Hi Guys, I've activated my Win 8.1 x64 via AutoKMS. Its been quite sometime, I've heard that licenses expire after 180 days, and then AutoKMS re-activates it automatically. Is it true? I'm asking this is because, everytime I switch on my PC, I get a notification saying that it will expire soon. Will AutoKMS reactivate it automatically or am I supposed to do something?
If you have installed AutoKMS, it should reactivate your Windows on every logon / 24 hour. It'll not wait till the completion of 180 days
Check whether C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe is still there and not arrested by any Antivirus. When it is processed there should be a log file in same folder.
Yes, There are 3 items in that folder -- AutoKMS.exe AutoKMS.ini and AutoKMS.log Do you want me to paste/upload the log?
Check the log for errors, no need to upload. Normally AutoKMS will reactivate every StartUp/LogOn/24hrs so activation grace shouldn't drop below 179. Check with 'Check' option of 'Activation' Tab in MTK . In case it shows less than 179 days something prevents it from running. Create an exception for the folder in your AV then.

AutoKMS isn't running properly. As said create exclusion in your Antivirus and run AutoKMS.exe manually for a test. When all goes well Check should show 180/179 days.
I don't use any AV except for Windows Defender, either way I tried running AutoKMS.exe manually from C:\Windows\AutoKMS\ No window popped or anything. Then checked. --------------------------------------- Name: Windows(R), Enterprise edition Description: Windows(R) Operating System, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel Family: Enterprise SKU ID: 81671aaf-79d1-4eb1-b004-8cbbe173afea Application ID: 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f Installed Product Key ID: 06401-02613-000-000000-03-1033-9600.0000-0032014 KMS Server Product Key ID: 55041-00206-270-893900-03-1033-7601.0000-0012014 OID: 653934659593007370925563548155400511236971939760283607116405280 Last 5 characters of installed product key: MKKG7 License Status: Activated Error Code: 0x4004F040 Error Text: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product was activated but the owner should verify the Product Use Rights.
