    So when you delete the key, the 'Activate windows in PC setting' watermark will never show up again and your machine works until windows 9? :D

    At the moment... yes :D

    Not saying Microsoft wont change this in the future, but for now, we're safe.

    Well I've had my PC running for over 6 hours without any signs of it, rebooted it a few times before that, so if you kill the key and it says Successful, then you reboot, it's meant to stay gone - if not then maybe it's the other WCP Watermark remover changes something too? or did you use that already as well?

    I've had it installed for just over 24 hours, how would I know if it's a sure thing or not? Maybe it only works in Australia like this... All i know is that if you run WCP and slmgr and they both don't give errors, then reboot, you'll have no Watermarks in Australia after up to 6 1/2 hours (in some cases), who really knows yet?

    Correct all they have done is removed the default key used for windows installation nothing more it will still require activation.

    I use a boot vhd file for win8. It is easier to remove if anything goes wrong.
