    the first link is for kms activation... but better alternative to this is the link ins1ave77 signature for second u must have a windows 8 pro activated... then order a free key there and once received install it... activate permanantly

    yeah but ins1ave7's method is kinda hard for me :) What about the timezone change if I want to use the columbia server?

    Set the timezone matching your actual location will work.

    LOL! If MS thought they're gonna stop piracy and get more sales by 'changing' the activation methodology, they've got another thing coming :p

    These activation servers are popping up faster than mushrooms in a rain-forest :clap:

    Make sure you enter your region/country properly at the time of installation and sync with one of the optional servers including the default "time.windows.com". That should do it IMO :D

    :unsure::unsure: why you use kms if windows is activated permanently via free key

    because the fre key is available only upto jan 13... and to use that key ur windows 8 pro must be activated... and right now either kms activation or genuine windows key are options for win 8 activation

    I don't know, how often you like to repeat your question about the free key which you have installed and got activated for ever ;)
    There are some on this planet who do not use 8pro where you can do the trick but some like to run enterprise version and need KMS for activation because the key doesn't work there :p

    No more worries about activating you system. Your activated and you don't need to use KMS anymore.

    Buddy, you must have done it prior to jan 2013. As you did it, forget about that date
