    If you click the hyperlink for activation details, in case of KMS activation it will show the date when period ends.

    Yanno, I'm really not that stupid. For whatever reason, mine shows no such details... or else I would not have been asking for a tool to show me said info.

    If it is pro or enterprise you can just use the GLVK (KMS key)

    All Volume ISOs/DVDs have the gVLK embedded.

    I have just installed pro, trying to activate with different reliable servers in vain. After last command it takes longer than usual and responds with Error 0xC004OF074. When I ping the server it responds. Other than most times when I do installations, this time I had installed all updates before I went on to activating. Could system update be a reason for these failed activation attempts?

    I tried these hosts:
    osfp7g7.mooo.com
    osfpg7.no-ip.org
    lunar21.no-ip.org

    Should I keep trying different hosts? I assume after these 3 that something else might be wrong..

    Edit: Tried yet another host and it worked (win8kms4.mooo.com) -- There was no reason for me to panic. :eek:

    I have my server most of the time closed cause it's easier to activate now with Microsoft Toolkit !!! But if someone would like to activate with an online server just pm me to open it !!!!

    Quick question...

    I am puzzled about this...

    Hre, Home network with several Windows 8 machines... and a local Windows Server 2012 KMS in the mist... all the Windows 8 keep activating within 30 days against the local server (wish is running 24/7) so everything is good... i can check the status every once in a while and the count always stays just below 179 days... happy home...

    but... I have a bad apple, a windows 8 Enterprise machine which if I run 'manual' activation ( slmgr/ato) against the local KMS server activates just fine, no problem... but it does not do it automatically as it supposed to within 30 days.. the days just keep counting down..., as I said if manually is ok... the other PC's in the network renew their activations automatically..

    I have double checked the registry - made sure its appointing to correct IP address and port.. there is no problem at all... why is not doing it automatically?, if I open a DOS window and run "slmgr /ato" is ok. I can run a batch file to run it every 30 days or so to solve the problem, no biggy... but just I have this thing to "why" is not doing it...

    ideas?

    Hi

    I'm sorry I didn't read the full thread (609 pages!) but I was wondering : would it be possible to activate Windows 8 with KMS for more than 180 days ? Let's say I set my bios time to 01/01/2020, and then activate for 180 days, and finally reset my bios time to real date and year. Would my expiration time be 06/01/2020 ?

    You have a method to activate when you want to, even automatically. Who cares how long it activates for?

    Idk, it was just something on my mind^^ If that would have been possible (is that a correct tense ? lol, I'm not english), then a simple .exe could have done everyting for us, eg: activate for 100 years or whatsoever.

    Nevermind : Thanks for the quick answers ! :D

    Any advantage or disadvantage from using the VL revision over the standard?
