    agree, but I turn my w8 as I was taught here by kms only server that I appeared before missing 180 days and now after using the key sent by Microsoft tells me that the system is permanently activated (not shown 180 days).

    If not doing major hardware changes (CPU, Board and Disks) system is permanently activated. Backup with ATM and build yourself a Windows 8 Pro WMC ISO. For more information see second link in my signature :D.

    On client pc:
    After manual activation you can run:
    slmgr /ckms

    This command clears the kms hostname
    Windows will not check anything.

    @sukinsin88:
    That's the way I wanted to do it as well. It's not possible.
    (1) You need to have Windows 8 Pro (non-VL), or else you won't have the "add features" button.
    (2) After clicking that button, WMC is automatically added, the key is only valid on this new W8ProWMC!
    (3) After that, you can save the activation files (ATM).
    (4) If you don't want to go through this whole shebang on a next install, then you can use the new ambidav "Win8ProWMC" iso to install, and activate with the saved activation in (3)

    NO
    This command will set KMS client to search for defaults set by MS to look for KMS host.
    Like DNS , Domain etc & log a event when not found.

    Client will follow VLActivationInterval, VLRenewalInterval keys value set in registry.

    This command will clear HOST address & force client to follow bigger chain to renew its activation.

    As repeatedly stated before: 1. and 2. don´t know, but might be :D. 3. YES! (Maybe you have to restart twice, don´t wonder).

    Not realy...
    Documentation states that a specific kms host is used with the /skms command, /ckms will revert that to standard automatic detection of a KMS host (being MS server) when not in a domain.

    There is no MS KMS server. It either finds a local one (through DNS) and uses it, or it doesn't.

    Hm, why uninstall? Simply don't use it if you don't like it. Uninstalling probably results into unactivated situation

    Afaik you can only uninstall WMC via Up/Downgrade-Trick, but you can disable. Will test in VM if it deactivates this way :D. Will report back....
