    According to slmgr there is no switch to serpress popups. Does anyone know how?

    EDIT: Ok you just use this
    Code:
    //B
    at the end of your slmgr command and it will not have a popup. For example:
    Code:
    slmgr /skms xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx //B
    will not bring you a popup that norm comes with this command

    The KMs server activates all KMS enabled versions that DONT have WMC added on.

    Make sure you are using GVLK key not the retail or MAK key to use KMS activation....

    as he says, he has an enterprise version of W8, he has no need to care about any key, as this is pre-installed with enterprise, so he only needs to go to mooo and do the appropriate commands

    There is a chance he might have installed an irrelevant key why slmgr /upk and /ipk then.... GVLK key is must for KMS server activation...

    I have Windows 8 Enterprise N but I don't have any product keys. How can I activate it?
    If Enterprise cannot be activated, can Professional be activated that way? If so, I will download Professional version.
    Thanks.

    Again: With enterprise you don't need a key as it is pre-installed with the version. Simply run the mooo command and ato command
