It still works. I just used it again........... Instead of saying the server is offline you should say I can't get my system to connect to the server. Just because you can't connect to the server does not mean it is down!!!!!
My apologies... What's written is not what you think it was. I'm trying to tell everyone that's it's still up and running.
Question to anyone willing to answer... If I activate via KMS, can I backup my activation and reactivate it by restoring the activation in 180 days?
no, this were the trick but it doesn't work as the timer counts back to zero and u need to reactivate latest when 180 days are over independent what was saved as backup file
kms has always ended in 180 days its designed for that by the time 6 months comes im sure there will be another kms method
That's the way KMS activation goes. When you're in a local environment activating your client against a KMS host at the company e.g. you don't even realize this process as it is done automatically.
Ah yes, very true, if MS doesn't blacklist whatever key has been leaked out there first. Makes sense, the OS doesn't really ever get close to shutting down when it's got a server backing it.
consider, that KMS method is not designed for the public. Enterprise OS is not designed for either. Normally, only retail stuff is for public use and this costs bucks. The entire KMS thing is a bit fishy for non corporate/university etc purpose and must be seen as only a kind of legal way to get an OS activated
a simple question... If I install the Media Feature Pack in "Windows 8 Enterprise-N" to have the media player, I'll lose my activation ? thanks
the logic is in the question itself: A KMS activated system is officially activated as thousands of machines in offices.
