    Dear all, before you post that it did not work please make sure you do a time sync with the time servers and also make sure you have uninstalled ALL hackivations and other activation programs you have used before and do a sfc /scannow in an elevated prompt just to make sure. Then do the activation commands.

    As long as you guys didn't adjust Date and Time to your actual (real) local time and time zone as well a Internet Time to time.windows.com and also maybe your correct location, you may get problems to activate your machine!

    if done "everything" right, simply repeat the -ato command a couple of times as sometimes first attempt fails

    Yes, it will expire in 180 days.
    You can keep "reactivating" it once a week or once a month to extend that 180 days period until a permanent solution shows up in this forum

    I can confirm this, just tried the latest KMS server for fun and it put me back at 180 days :) Just hoping a KMS server is still available by the time I get my new GPU next week.

    If your entering 3 different commands, the 3rd one should clear the KMS server (1st sets the KMS, 2nd activates with KMS, 3rd clears KMS server)

    slmgr.vbs -ckms

    Pretty sure that command clears the KMS Host

    Here is a simple way to learn all the slmgr commands and what they do. Run the command prompt in administrator mode then type
    slmgr and hit enter. There you will find all you need to know.
