    I have a key from MS but I used it on a x86 install of office 2013. I though I could use the same key on x64 ver but it will not activate. So I am looking for a way to use KMS if there is a way.

    Since the same key works for X86 as it does for x64 !!! you can not have both versions online at the same time ...
    My Office key works for both versions... but I never try to have both online at the same time....

    It lets me install the key but it tells me that the key has been used. Now it is giving me a notification about activating. I check the x86 install and it is still activated and no problems. But I want to use x64 ver of Windows 8 and x64 ver of office 2013.

    what I use is this:
    win key + x
    command prompt as admin
    copy and paste
    as notice I always /remhst so that I can get all Official updates.
    I also always remove -skms for windows...
    have no problems - with Activating Office 2013 or Windows.

    Im sure because you are using x64 edition of Office not x86.. mine is x86.
    also unless you add the proper host site: you will not get activated...
    I recommend you not use cscript unless you know what your doing...
    like s1ave77 said you can really screw thing up ....

    Loophole is closed, no ProWMC activation for KMS/MAK activated systems, only for legit Retail versions of Win 8.

    Classic example of license compliance in China: Shanghai university running pirated Server 2012 KMS.

    Yes but they never got shut down, they just were informed about that it was open to the public and they made it closed to the public, thats all. They were not shut down

    It's not so much about them running a public server, it's that the server is the leaked Russian Server 2012 KMS.

    Office x86
    cscript "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /sethst:host-goes-here
    Office x64
    cscript "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /sethst:host-gos-here

    then Activate
    x64
    cscript "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /act
    x64
    cscript "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /act

    then remove host so you can get updates
    Office x86
    cscript "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /remhst
    Office x64
    cscript "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /remhst

    Hi,

    Anybody knows if installing Windows 8 pro, activate with kmsnano and then using a wmc upgrade key will activate windows permanently?
