    Use KMS server if any or download the MicroKMS and activate.

    I'm sure this was answered many times but here is one again: If you feel like activating every day, you can do it or latest after 180 days which will get you the new 180 day period. Every activation gets you +180 days from the day you do it

    How would you write a batch file or script to auto activate by KMS silently each boot?
    Is this possible without seeing any dialog boxes?

    I think this note should be added to the first page just as an extra NOTE, it seems obvious but for new people that are trying to get info inside these 462 pages can help to clear the water (just saying...) ..

    cheers!:biggrin:

    ...and I agree with you 100%...

    Yes, I have, but some times more concise/simple wording is better to understand when they go straight to the point and clear people questions when they are looking for a simple answer. Some have a good grasp of this and experience, for some is the first time doing it..

    Cheers!

    I don't think this is possible without the final " successfully activated" dialog box - but I bow to greater knowledge :cool:

    It´s possible doing this without popups. If you use
    Code:
    slmgr /ato
    you will get a popup, with
    Code:
    cscript slmgr.vbs /ato
    output will stay in CMD-Window.

    Thanks - that works a treat - are there any negatives to "over activating"

    overspamming MDL is more dangerous than overactivatiing an OS (which is impossible). :D

    Greetings,
    I just wanted to thank all involved with this thread. I have read most of it and felt comfortable enuf to install Win8 Pro VL on my real (not virtual) machine. I've experimented with the KMSmicro (with VMWare) and got it working perfectly, thanks to all contributors. I was surprised at how easy it was to install Win8 on my old Dell (about 4 - 5 years old), and even got it to multi-boot with Win7 and absolutely no problems. You guys sure know your stuff, and I have learned a lot over the past few weeks...especially from this thread.

    I'm going to be lurking around here often.
