    Which version do you have installed? If it is the eval enterprise, it won't work. If you are using the pro and did not install the appropriate key during install, it won't work. If you installed core, it won't work and if your time zone is not adjusted it won't work either

    Hello everyone. Lunar21 has and will be down till about 12am to 12:30am (it is now 5:15pm). When my server is back up, I will change my sig to reflect if it is back up or not. There seems to be a problem with the network or power. Still providing support if needed via [email protected] .

    Why does this matter? Everyone probably has their own kms host at this point.

    Definitly not all here have or want to have one (not to mention all, not knowing how to do :D), so, why not.

    No need to suspect this, first official one went down days ago, others will follow without any doubt.

    If that is the creighton univ server of which you speak, it probably just went behind a firewall, where it should have been in the first place. ;)

    Did I miss something or is there a way to permanently "activate" Win 8 Pro using the slmgr method and not just for 180 days? The post by mgrsoft shows a permanent activation.

    Do you mean the one found on the Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 Client Setup Keys that ends in J8CK4 ?
