Windows 8 KMS Activation

i have posted this many times: that "core" key is for server 2013.
remember win8 will accept it since server 2013 share the same xrm-ms
file so the key will validate on install but will NOT activate on win8.

Thanks both for the info. Will edit original post now to remove Win 8 Core. Cheers.

The MS list is confusing because it has irrelevant entries. There is no such thing as "Windows Server 2012 Core"; the only two Server Core editions are "Standard Core" and "Datacenter Core", and they use the same keys as the non-Core editions.

 

To be more precise our hosts wil activate:

You´re right, not precise enough.

 

I found the activator and tested. The result of the images.
Please tell me if this is the activation of Windows 8 Pro.

You used a MAK key which has a limited number of activations and WILL be blocked.

FYI, querying WMI doesn't need admin rights.

Also, an updated version of the command (that also shows the license channel):

Code:

wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where LicenseStatus=1 get Name,Description /format:value

 

any good kms activator tool for win8?

 

Yeah, slmgr.vbs works very well.

 

Hello, I will buy Windows 8 Pro OEM and I will activate it. When I will activate it once, It will go activate it on other PC? I know, that isn't legal, but my question is " It will go activate it on other PC?"

 

Don't think that OEM = KMS, so <Off Topic> you can try activating via phone/Skype. </Off Topc>

 

U can't activate kms client using a oem installation... u got to have a csvlk installation on host server
