Sounds like a legitimation check should be done, to proof activation is legit. Tested MS-Site, but it seems Windows 8 and Office 15 still not supported .
Yes, I installed Office 2013 VL (conv. from Retail) on W8 ProWMV (free key), so thank rrohela, that could be it!
Well, I installed it on a second test system, so I had to check which W8 version was currently on it I was testing my new all-in-one (with 32 and 64bit images VL/RetailProWMC, also images with pre-injected keys, etc.), so it was kind of a "coincedence" that a retail version was on the testsystem). So I could easily install the VL edition of Windows 8 on it. But still, Office VL on Pro retail does work, do you think it would have any further concequences?
I first activated Windows 8 using KMS and then upgraded it to PRO-WMC with the free WMC key emailed by Microsoft to me. After restart, the watermarks are back again..then i simply activated it over the internet...Everything was fine.
I can't confirm... but be careful before applying MS updates for product.. So your window is retail & that is why that message for office.. Need not to worry.. as MS is not stooping & just showing one message... Who cares
Just after I checked which version was on my testsystem, it started downloading updates (W8ProWMC-Freekey, with Office2013VL) and installed them. Now on reboot it wants to autorun Explorer (don't know why), but it can't because I turned off UAC on that testPC. Still, I didn't expect this to happen, I'll have to check back if everything else still works OK (including Office 2013VL). If not, it's byebye to ProWMC, and back to Enterprise.... Thanks for the tips until now! [Edit: Everything's fine, the Explorer autorun was just for the stupid "Browser selection" screen]

Did you try activating again kms.cc.columbia.edu is working atm. Normally office 2013 activation doesn´t harm the windows activation. Never happend to me so far.
