    Hi all,

    I'm currently using Win 8 Enterprise (MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.ENTERPRISE.RTM.X64.VOLUME.ENGL ISH.DVD)

    Do I need to install any serial key before activation

    Hello

    On-line KMS Activation for Windows 8 Enterprise & Pro RTM:

    Run the following in a command prompt with Admin rights:


    For Win 8 Enterprise:
    slmgr /skms < kms hote >
    slmgr.vbs -ato

    For Win 8 Professional:
    slmgr.vbs -ipk < key >
    slmgr /skms < kms hote >
    slmgr.vbs -ato

    Guysss :( I activated my Windows 8 Enterprise something like 16 hours ago. There was a working KMS server around. Now my Windows says that I am not activated anymore. I ran the activation helper with the KMS server line in the servers.txt file, and it indicated that my Windows got activated. Did I miss anything? Did I have to run something in the Command Line?

    unless you used a hacktivator before this should have worked just like the command line entries you would use without the activator you used. It's merely executing the same commands once you provide the kms server ip : port

    slmgr -skms kms ip : port
    slmgr -ato

    The fact that you are not activated anymore must be related to a hardware change or possibly the use of another tool in the past that changed system files.

    I just installed the correct Drivers. Can it be the reason? It was a fresh formatted PC, so no other Activators have been used.
    And if I am using the Activation Helper, than I do not have to enter a key?
