Thank u very much.. Successfully activated.. Also upgraded to WMC with free key... View attachment 18655
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] .
Definitly not all here have or want to have one (not to mention all, not knowing how to do ), 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 ?
That's all right.....i have activated with the: slmgr-skms 5.102.152.201:1688 slmgr-ato in this time in italy are 18:41 and the server is up.....
OK I've already got the free Media Center Key from MS but I haven't used it yet. So let me get this right... if I install Win 8 Pro do I first try to activate it with the key that ends in J8CK4 or do I not try to activate it at all and just use the key I've received in my inbox from MS to get a permanent full activated Win 8 Pro with WMC using the MS KMS server?? - I suspect there's more to it than at as usual
Use mentioned key J8CK4 then use any available KMS HOST to activate slmgr-skms 5.102.152.201:1688 slmgr-ato Then use your WMC Key by clicking ADD Features.
You don't have to activate the Pro install. You can follow the instructions in this post: hxxp://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/38896-Activate-win8ProWMC-without-first-activate-the-Pro-version?p=660056&viewfull=1#post660056 The instructions work, but are very brief, so they might be difficult if you are not very familiar with the subject. In that case, activating the Pro install with KMS first is easier.
