That's precisely the reason - I read somewhere that Windows tries to re-up its activation every month or so,so as long as the kms activation is up and running, the activation period should fall under 150 or so days
I know this has been asked before but I have not been able to find an up to date list of this lately. Can someone provide a list of working KMS servers both active all the time and active off and on? I am starting work on something and need an up to date list of these servers. Thanks in advance and Long Live MDL Forums
The list i recommend, all are online: WS12-Host (Win and Server) + Office 2010/2013 Code: kms.shmtu.edu.cn lunar21.no-ip.org kmsme.no-ip.org jbiz1.mooo.com W8-Host (Win) + Office 2010/2013 Code: walkercorps.zapto.org W8-Host no Office Code: **************** kmsforwin8.xicp.net win8kms4.mooo.com EDIT: I would guess noone needs a miles long list, where 90% of the old and obsolete servers shown as offline .
Damn, my Windows 8 Pro, the one that I activated first with this, then with that Media Center thing, somehow just lost activation... Anything that can be done? Really don't want to re-install it...
Just replace the data.dat and tokens.dat on your system with thoese within the dvd.. you will need to mount the install.wim from the sources folder and then manually copy them to your windows/system32/spp/data folder create a folder called c:\WMC Copy the install.wim to this folder and then run this command to mount the image Code: DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\WMC\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\WMC\mount Then clear your key using this command... slmgr /xxxx * xxxx = the last 4 numbers/letter of your key then manually copy the files... Then activate via KMS *ADDED... Copy this to notepad and save within the WMC folder and call it get.cmd This will get the files for you... and place them in wmc... Code: DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\WMC\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\WMC\mount COPY /y c:\wmc\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\data.dat c:\wmc\data.dat COPY /Y c:\wmc\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat c:\wmc\tokens.dat Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\wmc\mount /DISCARD pause this will restore the files.. just place in a folder call it restore.cmd and have the data files in the same folder... Code: pushd "%~dp0" slmgr /xxxx cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx net stop sppsvc net stop sppsvc del /s /f /q %systemroot%\system32\spp\store\*.dat del /ah /s /f /q %systemroot%\system32\spp\store\*.dat COPY /y data.dat %windir%\System32\spp\store\data.dat COPY /Y tokens.dat %windir%\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat attrib -R -A %systemroot%\system32\spp\store\*.dat /S cscript %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv popd * xxxx = the last 4 numbers/letter of your key to remove it and then replace the xxxxxxxxxx with the kms client key...
I activate Office 2013 with KSMnano24. Now, I would like to see when I apply activation. Please how to write the command: cscript .....??
no such command present for windows to clear key. I think you confused with office command "/unpkey:XXXXX" here....
You are right, there is no command to clear a product but there is a command to uninstall your key but once you uninstall your key, even if you are KMS activated or perm activated you will loose your activation and go back to trial. The command for that is: Code: slmgr /upk
Don't you hve activation backup? If not then you hve to first downgrade your wmc edition to pro. Kms can't activate WMC...
