Windows 8 KMS Activation

Permanent activation has a date - that looks totally bogus - what does slmgr -xpr say?

 

can anyone tell me about any live kms server?

 

Im gonna say no because if you look just in the last 2 to 3 pages you will see a few KMS servers currently working.

 

Ok, thanks.

yesterday evening I try your kms server to activate my laptop, and it doesn't work. It's true ?

 

It does work, send me a PM with the error number you got and your PC name please.

 

I'll try later, maybe tonight.

But it's important to choose Cairo ?

 

If you live there yes, otherwise you need to timesync to your own location. Your local time is automaticaly converted to UTC time when requesting /ato to a KMServer

 

View attachment 18617 Does this means activated ? I tried server in some lads signature and like this activation will be for 30 days? as KMS is not permanent correct?

 

Hello gentlemen, greetings to all.

There are rumors that after activating the w8 for 180 days by a KMS server. You go to this page: windows.microsoft.com/es-ES/windows-8/feature-packs ... (Adds Pro Pack or Windows 8 Media Center Windows 8 Pack to your Windows edition) was delivering mail to Microsoft and they sent a key that leaves the system permanently activated.

We did a test mailing false and actually sent me the key. now it appears to have been permanently activated.

but I have my doubts about that, anyone has heard anything about it?

thanks and regards.

 

I presume this "lad" is me. Well if you can provide your PC name I will check my logs and see if you were sent activation, thanks

 

i have this free key but this key is only for WM center

 

Hello.

If I manage to activate W8 using one of the available KMS servers, do I have to activate it everytime when Windows starts?

Also, will Windows stay activated if the KMS server I used falls down?

In short, I activate for 180 days and it will stay activated for that period even if there are no available KMS servers?

 

Your windows is valid for 180 no matter what, even if the server goes down. You do not have to activate everytime windows starts, as i just said it is good for 180 days. It "talks" to the KMS server every 7 days. If it can talk to it, it renews your activation back to 180 days .

1. You need to reactivate before 180 days only.

2. Windows will remain activated.

3. It will stay activated even no KMS server is available within 180 days.

 

You can increase that on your server with slmgr.vbs /sri 43200 (which will set the interval to 30 day's, instead of the 7 day's)

 

You do it on the server or on the client? the client asks every 7 days to the server, doesn't it?

 

activate you client again because once client contacts a KMS host, the KMS host setting will override the local client setting.

This commands will not work on Client activated through KMS. Only for host

 

So my understanding is that the server tells the client when to ask again. OK I simply must get the way it is done. learning is most of the life ...

 

Yes... & Run both commands if you don't want after 30 days client to recheck for activation every 2 hours.

slmgr /sai 43200
slmgr /sri 43200
