Right so now thats worked win 8 pro is activated. The last time i did this i added the wmc code from microsfot, it did its things but windows became unactivated. Any ideas?
Yep, it´s right for handing out free keys. But WMC can only be activated on Retail systems, not on KMS or MAK activated ones. Unfortunately the loophole that allowed this so far was closed some days ago.
That normally should work, it´s a Retail key you got . In case of problems you can contract MS to solve this, seems to be problematic after they closed loophole, even for legit users.
I don't think buying the Key for $14.99 then adding to is a loophole, that has always been there. then adding the FREE WMC Key will also work. that has always been there ....
nope here...what about win8 pro activated by kms method and then apply free key..still actived or deactived by MS now
I Currently have win 8 pro activated for 180 days via kms(thanks everyone). If I buy a upgrade version, can I use it to activate pro permanently? Im not against doing a fresh install but it would be easier to not have to as I have 8 set up nicely already. Im looking at some deals on Ebay for upgrade disks. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks s1ave77, a couple of questions if you dont mind: I've never seen the "cscript" part of the command before. Is it part of what I should type? When you say activate online later, is there an actual site I go to for this or do I do this in the computer properties area? Sorry for the noobness
I don´t like these annoying popups, with "cscript" all output stays in CMD . When no KMS-Adress is assigned, "/ato" will activate your system, if online done.
I love those "stupid popup script things" I started using them a long time ago as Beta Tester.... also I found that many people have "HACKS" installed that STOP the use of cscripts ... so when I recommend they use scripts and they say it does not work ....
