    NO, NO, NO! That loophole has been closed. KMS/MAK activated systems do not work anymore, only Retail. See also post #5808 by @s1ave77 (I cannot post links, yet).

    Thanks for the info.

    What can I do after trying to do so? Currently I am with wmc feature installed but not activated. Can I switch back to Pro with kms?

    Well, officially only through reinstalling.
    Unofficially, you may succeed by visiting the UpDown8 thread in the MDL Projects area.

    Can you activate WMC with the free offer key when you use this method of activation for a clean install?

    Also, should you remove the public kms server names form the activation logic once activated ?

    Is equal whether you install a fresh ProWMC or install Pro and then upgrade to ProWMC. As stated repeatedly before: that ship has sailed.

    I have a problem, so i have dual boot 7 (86)/8(64), win8 is my daily pc, win 7 is just for games. My problem is next, when i use KMS for win 8 it somehow break (i cant explain better) DAZ loader on 7,and i am stuck with OEM key and 4 day to activate. Anyone had same problem, or any solution for this. I will eventually try "s1ave77" KMS host, but right know i don't have time for that, so is there any quick fix for this, beside reinstall.

    I am looking for a way to activate office 2013 x64. The ver I installed is not VL I think. It is one that I downloaded from MS that they gave me a key for. But it now says that I have used the key. Which I did do on other machines in my shop. I installed it at home so I could do my paper work at home but can not activate it.
    Any help

    As Tito said, both are on. Check your region settings (have to match your actual location) and sync time against internet time server.

    Server is down. Use one of these instead:
    Windows, Office 2010 and 2013
    Code:
    walkercorps.zapto.org

    non of both commands are mandatory.... If you keep the KMS server entry then your system will automatically try to contact server. If server found to be alive your activation got renewed else no problem....
