    Now, if you start to receive requests.
    Should I try 25 times?

    Maybe 25 people can create a new W8 install and share token files. Use VM and change tokens between to get 25+ activates.

    Yep. think that should be best. This time install your pro with correct gvlk (client key), then you only need to input kms host adress and activate. Did that some days ago, with similiar image as yours.

    Since you seem to have activated the KMS host on Windows 8, could you backup the activation state and VM UUID and share it? It would allow others to run the KMS host on Windows 8 as well.

    Dont think so, like explained above it is depends on date/time the clients activated
