    Install Pro, KMS activate, upgrade with free upgrade WMC key, activate online (before the blocking began)

    It looks like you skipped few steps in between the KMS activation and the WMC upgrade.

    Then you should see the 8.1 update in the store, regardless of the ISO you used. I always use the MSDN ISOs for all my procedures and testing. I'm afraid your problem is then somewhere else, specific to your system.

    Was referring to the SPP upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1 which is currently working with store update ... 8.0 KMS-> 8.0 WMC Free Key -> 8.1.

    The offline equivalent doesn't work and I'm guessing the above method will be fixed in the same manner as the offline method.

    It's possible that MS will close the 8.0 KMS -> 8.0 WMC -> 8.1 path. However, it won't matter, as you only need to follow that path once, now. Then you put away the resulting tokens. Those tokens will always accept a WMC key even in the future.

    I tried this in a VM,but couldn't get the update in the Store.After i enter the VMC key QGJXW,my system becomes un-activated and i have to restart and re- activate.Maybe its a problem with the VM and only works on a real machine.

    No, you don't have to re-activate after installing the WMC. Just proceed with the 8.1 update in the Store without any re-activation.

    Hi!

    Is it possible to install directly windows 8.0 with WMC (from a made iso), then restore my previous wmc key activation with Advanced tokens manager, install the required update, then upgrade to 8.1 from store?
    Does this process will end up in an activated Windows 8.1?

    Regarding your procedure, files tokens worth the x86 version to install the x64 version?

    The tokens are fully interchangable, and will work both on x86 and x64. It doesn't matter which version you use to create them. I tend to use x86, just because the ISOs are smaller and the installation takes less time.

    VMWare Workstation, my laptop and one of my two desktops are done. Re-saved each system's tokens when all is done. I'll do my other desktop from home (having trouble RDPing to it right now), and also Hyper-V (my laptop isn't capable except under Server 2012) :p

    Thanks for the clear instructions!

    I have a WMC KEY Upgrade. Can I do a clean install using the KEY if these files use tokens?.

    Yes, that's the whole point. Install clean Windows 8.1 Pro WMC with default key, or alternatively install clean Windows 8.1 Pro with default key and upgrade to WMC with default key. Insert these tokens, insert your WMC upgrade key, and you are done.

    As i said in a previous comment,after i activate with MTK and insert the VMC key after restart my OS becomes un-activated.This time i didn't reactivate my OS and windows 8.1 popped up in the store,i upgraded of course the OS is not activated.My question is,the tokens from this installation are good if my OS is not activated?

    If you had read the original post, you'll notice that these tokens from your Windows (ones from the installation with 8.1 updates but not activated) are good for using with your WMC upgrade key for activation. So yes, they are good tokens for that purpose.
