    Allready answered: Stay away from these. Puffingmad is right here. If there will apperar an offline activation method, i guess here on MDL we will hear about. Don´t think Daz and others will let us die dumb and blind :D.

    As said in my sticky, i will do a bit later. Will do in thread direct and link to APPENDIX-Part.

    Regards

    I have a little problem and i hope that someone is able to help me out. So here´s what i did so far:
    1. i installed Win8 Enterpr. with the xxxx-3667B key.
    2. i activated it via kms. everything worked fine.
    3. messed around with it, installed all kinds of stuff/crap to test compatibility and accounts.
    4. decided that it´s good enough for my daily usage.
    so here comes the problem:
    5. decided that it would be the best to setup the pc again
    6. installed it from usb and deleted every partition during installation
    7. activated again with the same key (but different kms server)
    8. "slmgr.vbs -ato" tells me "product activated successfully
    9. but ...and here´s the problem: it didn´t. i still have the watermarks and the "windows license is valid for 9 days in the right corner.

    any ideas how to fix that? :)

    I don't know if it will work but give it a try... use slmgr.vbs /rearm and then reactivate windows

    why is there a key to be used during enterprise installation? Ent has a preset key and you do not have to enter one like on other versions like pro at the beginning of setup

    You run the evaluation version.. trash it & get the volume one.

    Just a thought... If I wanted to replace the win8kms4.mooo.com KMS server that I entered into SLMGR and return it to the default MS KMS server what would I need to do..

    If you want to get back to default simply enter slmgr -ckms in CMD as admin

    Thanks Paul. One other question. I've just installed plain Windows 8 x64 on a Dell laptop not Pro or Enterprise but just "Windows 8"
    Is this what is called the "Core" version and if so I guess there's no way to activate it unless using a real MS key?
