Which one is easiest to activate Windows 8.1 Professional VL with Update (x64) - DVD (English-United Kingdom) Windows 8.1 Enterprise with Update (x64) - DVD (English-United Kingdom) Windows 8.1 with Update (multiple editions) (x64) - DVD (English-United Kingdom) Windows 8.1 with Update (multiple editions) (x64) - DVD (English) Windows 8.1 Enterprise with Update (x64) - DVD (English) Actually question is Enterprise or Professional or VL ?
There is no Windows Loader for 8.x Professional VL or Enterprise would be the easiest to activate with KMS tools. I'd recommend Microsoft Toolkit from the MDL projects section.
If you are using KMS, all editions are equally easy to activate but the VL ones already have the client key built-in.
it used to be super easy; all you had to do was run 3 commands in the cmd prompt... sadly nobody provides KMS servers anymore
MTK etc. are much safer anyway. Who knows what or who is running those hacked KMS servers. I personally wouldn't be foolish enough to use one. BUT!! You can run your own now in a VM or whatever and KMS yourself silly if you like -ed- I would like to also point out, the very people who made online KMS servers even a possibility are the same people who made MTK and all the other KMS emulated programs.
curious how 9 will handle KMS in near future. We certainly will be faced to activate against any open server until our buddies have checked the new protocol which definitely will appear quite soon
I think it will be carrier pigeons for Win9. MS isn't screwing around this time! (breaks out the bird feeders)
If I were them, I'd handle it in a similar way that they handle the MAK forwarding except change it to a temporary downloaded cert.
