Windows 8 KMS Activation

Working for me! The server is online

 

** It's NOT the thread which have to stay On Topic, that's the post writers who had to stay On Topic with their post! And that's exactly the Main problem with threads like this kind! To many "need" to show what, how and which way they had "play" the game!

Was repeated for many times but here again: is your time/timezone synced?

 

It was set to synchronize automatically w/ time.windows.com, should it be some specific time/timezone? I am in PST.

 

No, just sync it with the internet and set it to your local position. And uninstall all previous "activators" just in case to say

 

you think may be some firewall blocking it? i am still at work place..

 

This might be a problem. If you can disable all additional firewall/malware etcetera software, it might help but this is speculation. Just find out yourself

 

Most likely is your job´s firewall. I cannot ping the kms server through the VPN.

Server is still alive

 

this server is still working thank you,
just test it on some virtual machines

 

So I have Win8 Pro and it's activated (via one of the KMS servers here), but I was receiving a new GPU in a few days. Would I have to reactivate with another KMS server? If so, how long do I have?

 

If Windows get deactivated after the change of the GPU, Windows just falls back to notification mode and you can reactivate with any KMS Server that is available. Then Windows is activated for 180 days again
