I activated Windows 8 RP (build 8400) Yesterday via prompt and it worked flawlessly the first try but today trying to activate Windows 8 PRO just doesn't both via prompt/helper. so sad ;_;
Thank you, dear xx.xx.139.164. You will be dear to my heart always. [edit] Sorry, that KMS host was for testing only... it won't be back online
I would be able to activate Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation by using ActivateHelper.exe which I downloaded from this forum for the fist time.
No way. This version cannot be activated. You must use the full enterprise version or pro to get really activated beyond 90 days of evaluation. Sorry to say
What he meant is that the Evaluation Version is already activated and the Helper doesn't work for it.
rearming has nothing to do with activation. After this rearm procedure is over some day, you're done with that version and you can reinstall the real on. Probably no way around as far as I can see ... and so far, useless to be discussed in this thread
I wouldn't even mind paying $39.99 to upgrade. Thanks for the responses guys! Anyway sorry again for getting off topic.
i could never get win8 Pro activated i just gave up and install Ent and everything fine u can always load media apps
you mean Ent is easy to activated wihtout the KMS servers? i am being tired of the PRo version that i can't activate or Edite
no i mean Pro is harder to activate with KMS form what i understand and Ent is the same just without media and you can media apps no problem so i would go with Ent
i couldnt get pro or ENT activated now for over 2 weeks! i am on PRO now hopefully the servers get back online again!
I used Pro-VL and was activated instantly. Was a fresh install without anything installed or changed.
you activated when the servers were up right? or you used different way of activation? my OS is Pro now, if i install ENT key on it, would it change to ENT ? or i need to reformate?
