    Mentioned v1.0.1 passes WGA-Check on Win 7 so far, tested 5 minutes ago :D. Afaik Microsoft Toolkit v2.4 Beta 8 does likewise.

    Hello fellow Windows 8 people. Have a quick question regarding Event viewer on a KMS machine. I keep mine open so I can view the activations in real time. Sometimes I see that when I refresh the events the event number goes down. For example, I have 271,243 events (activation attempts), when I refresh it goes down to something like 271,200 then it starts to go back up like it should. Is there any reason for this?

    Are you exceeding the maximum *.evtx file size? Because then the oldest entries are overwritten.

    I used KMSMicro v4.0 to activate it. And sure enough i just reactivated it again so no worries about that error message.
    i have until 7/22/2013 now. Here what's really funny. I had got the free Windows Media Center upgrade key offer and they cut my activation off.
    So i found a downgrade script that let me downgrade Windows 8 Pro Media Center x64 to To Enterprise x64 and then the same script upgraded Enterprise to Windows 8 x64 Pro.
    I believe that was the order i don't remember. Anyways i didn't have to reformat it just went through an install and everything was fine. Then activated with KMSmicro again and all was fine.
    I don't know how long that error has been there. And i have read that KMS activated Enterprise versions always poll the internet. I am Windows 8 Pro.
    Maybe that error is a left over of the transition with that script so i have a little Enterprise going on. Either way it's All Good.So to beat WMC and still activate without a reformat.It can be done!


    Thanks
    :D

    A quick question, would anybody happen to know how to write something like this in batch? It'll make things a lot easier for a lot of folks.

    :KMS 1
    1. Install product key
    2. Set KMS server to xxx-no-ip.org
    3. Activate

    IF Successful, close the batch file.
    IF Fail go to 2

    :KMS 2
    1. Install product key
    2. Set KMS server to xxx2-no-ip.org
    3. Activate

    Help please, I installed win8 64 bit RTM downloaded from MDL official win8 repository using win8 PRO MSDN key then KMS activated till July 2013, but when applying WMC key I got by email I lost my activation. I think I am now in notification status having the water mark of the OS version on the desktop right corner. Also, I think my key was converted to retail. THX Sorry for the new thread I mistakenly did... EDIT: Can some Admin delete the new thread I have mistakenly opened in here: Forum---Computing Life---Windows 8---Help please. Thank you.

    Does your method give permanent activation or only 180 days?

    KMS is always 180 days by design.
