    So i found out it was the Product Key making the Problems.
    Old Key gave the following Error Code: 0xC04FE00 when using slmgr /dli . No activation possible.
    I used a different personal Windows 8 WMC Key and that one worked perfectly with the data/tokens.dat from the DISM folder in decrypter tool. Slmgr /dli (before activation) produced correct License Info. Something like: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center 999 rearms left...

    So let me understand .... if I have activated COMPUTER A - with Windows 8 pro wmc and I got the tokens ... and I go to COMPUTER B - running normal windows 8 , will I succeed in using the WINDOWS 8 pro wmc tokens to activate COMPUTER B? OR I risk screwing the activation on COMPUTER A and COMPUTER B?

    It would be great if you could help my friend! btw tkx Kelorgo and all of you at MDL!

    Respect!

    Never ever switch tokens between different SKUs, you can't use tokens from ProfessionalWMC on Professional, it will screw licensing on Computer B.

    like s1ave77 just use the token with the same windows edition.
    also if you have token then maybe you can use that token to activate windows on another computer (with the same edition of windows), but i haven't try that yet.

    You'd need a paid WMC upgrade key to be getting activated after upgrade. Once upon a time, MS offered free WMC keys, however, they had to be activated before a certain date. None of the free keys works, anymore.

    Windows 8.x WMC can be activated using KMS (Emulator only). The activation period is 30 days (Win 8.0 WMC) or 45 days (Win 8.1 WMC).
