    Hey guys, can someone confirm if this is right...

    If i run the ActivationHelper.exe and it finds a activation server that is online, then i will be activated for 180 days? And this works on Win 8 Pro? :)

    Unless you use a version of the activationhelper that uses an alias or forwarder address (that is populated with a working KMS address) you have to find a new KMS server yourself. The system will be activated for 180days. This works for Win8 Pro and Enterprise. No activation helper will automatically "find" a working KMS server fyi. It's really only 2 commands at the admin cmd you have to remember. All you need then is the IP (and possibly port) of a working KMS server.

    Why don't people disconnect when they are done? That way more people can use.

    At least i was able to automate my attempts via a autohotkey-script (using autoscript writer as a part of autohotkey). Waiting for permission to come aboard now....:hmm:

    he does as he stated in a later post. While I was on all people who I saw at the beginning left by the time I left. remember there are only 4 connections possible. with possibly 100s of people trying to connect it's a lottery.

    Add:
    Code:
    Loop, 1000 {
    at beginning of generated code and
    Code:
    }
    at the end.
    In "Loop, 1000" the variable "1000" couldt be set to any higher
    value
    Save, compile and start elevated.
    Hope it´s more clear now.

    EDIT: As in "Loop, 1000" the variable "1000" determines the count of loops to go,
    in "Sleep, 8000" the variable determines the waiting time in milliseconds.

    Does this work on Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation x86? If not can someone tell me how to extend the period from 90 to a longer amount of time?
