    Only way to get it running via KMS is to use a VL key. Otherwise you cannot use the KMservice

    At least you can try to uninstall key via:
    Code:
    slmgr /upk
    then try installing GVLK again, use the first one from your link for pro-version.

    Question:
    If i made for myself a Windows 8 AIO, and it have the ei.cfg like this:
    [Channel]
    Retail
    [VL]
    0

    Will the volume key still work? (or change)

    did you type this as above? 16 is incomplete must read 1688 but you can do it without port number as well as 1688 is the default port anyway

    Can some of the updates through Windows Update deactivate Windows?

    If you mean KMS (and WMC), to my knowledge: Nope.

    Hi, maybe my question is not about this topic, but I will ask., Why it shows me this: Remaining Windows rearm count: 999, should not it be: 1000. My Windows is activated with upgade key from $ 14.99 plus free key from Windows 8 Media Center Pack

    I'm 99.9% sure this has no significance.
