This only proves that people don't RTFM. And apparently neither have you, otherwise you could not know this...
few questions: 1: is the KMS key still working and valid? 2: does the PC count have to be from different computers or can it just be from the same computer but activated different times? (more questions might come later if i think of any )
The key provided is no longer valid, but you can use the provided activation files to setup a KMS host.
Ok so as long as I replace the token pk files with the ones provided then it will be activated and able to use? PS, why bother with using a windows 8 host when this works perfectly on windows 7 host? PSS, this activates both 7 and 8 Pro and Enti correct?
Yes haven't got to it yet, but that is the way it should work! Don't forget to change the UUID of your virtual machine.
Euhm, the provided pkey and tokens are for Win7 pro, where I referred to. Even if you install a kms host on win8, the leaked key will not work (nor the pkey and tokens) cause it's tied to a Win7 setup. Again: RTFM.
key is not tied to Win7... it works just fine on Win8 Pro (probably even on Vista Pro), maybe not anymore if online activation number was reached ... im just installing last VM to reach 25 activation count and then ill upload tokens and pkey for Win8...
It was to my understanding that once a key is activated, it's tied to that specific machine. Trying to reactivate it online would be flaged as "to many hardware changes". No?
When you post the upload link for it, could you also include the link for the win 7 token as well? Also will these tokens work for all windows 8 installs? Because i thought activation was specific to the hardware used?
Replacing the tokens restores the fully activated state and therefore does not require activating the KMS host key with MS. Of course Windows 8 will accept the key, but you will never be able activate it because it has reached its activation limit. So, if you don't have the tokens to restore activation on Windows 8, the key on its own is pretty much useless. That is why it currently only works on Windows 7.
