Wow, I had not heard of any KMS servers being online last week. Also KMS activations are 180 days not 90 days as your screenshot indicates. Weird!
Hi there, Nobody looked at snap carefully. Under current edition, it says "Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation". That is why he is getting 90 days trial activation The activation tool just did the work to run commands and Windows itself get activated from MS official KMS server.
It is evaluation version of Windows 8 Enterprise that you have installed. It is available to everyone as trial for 90 days. There is nothing to worry about activation.
Can anyone tell me how long I can keep this 8 Pro 9200 active using any or all of what the red arrow is pointing to in the picture I attached? I have the rearm tool, just not certain if I should be using it, or If it will ever be needed. View attachment 17004
There's no grace period in Windows 8, you're running on Notification mode which blocks your personalization (Lock screen, Startscreen, Watermark) Rearming seems has no effect to your system
Thank you very much for your fast response! Any idea how long this Notification mode will last as is? I was able to unlock the personalization and remove the water mark. After I did that I added my picture to the windows user account, changed the start screen to my own image, and set new colors for the start screen.
When you type slmgr /xpr to check the periods, it tells that it runs on Notification mode and it has no grade period so you can use forever, maybe until the end of Oct 26
wow, this is great news. I would imagine by then I would be able to use some sort of offline activation after it hits the stores. I really appreciate the information.. I was afraid to start installing software without knowing if i was a sitting duck.
Well, I also said it may changes when 26 Oct comes, until then you can't show me the proof that this won't last forever, can you?
