    Hello everyone, I installed windows 8 today and I used kms.cc.columbia.edu and ***** activator to activate my enterprise 9200 copy. My version tells me im now activated in systems although on the desktop it still has windows license valid for 90 days. I'm confused to why. Can anyone be grateful enough to help me. Thanks

    still wondring how many victims run into the 90 days enterprise trap. Why not read the instruction telling you that the game is over after 90 days and there is no way around. Blindness must be a worldwide decease. It is told hundreds of times that this "useless" version CANNOT be activated forever and must be replaced by a full one. If I could cry out loud to tell this everybody, I would do. Please stick any kind of info as this bothers almost every day and loads thread unnecessarily.

    Just a quick question, well two, this servers what version of MO 2013 can activate VL or Retail? I ask because I convert Retail into VL using "hand" method, but tried every server and can't activate or I should use a retail, and if this is the case I can use a blocked key?

    Wrong thread, but anyways. You´ll need VL to activate via KMS. Whalt version on what OS is installed (e.g. Office x64 on Win x64 or)?
    Other activation methods not to be discussed here!

    Yes there are options available to activate offline but they are nothing but local KMS server and it is a waste of time because hundreds of KMS will be available online just search through google and MDL and it is the easiest way to activate. No need to go through the lengthy process of offline KMS.

    What lenghty process? Pop in iso, use autounatended xml, lean back and enjoy cup of thee.

    KMS micro only needs to be unzipped and your good to go.
