Windows 8 KMS Activation

Is that definitely my only option? What do I need to do before calling them?

 

in toolkit choose windows icon at the bottom of start screen and once inside just choose ez-activator it will activate your copy of WMC for 30 days and will keep reactivating, else just use the telephone activation method with the WMC key

 

if you choose telephone activation method than we can not speak about in in this forum Google it , if all else fail pm

 

According to me yes

Disconnect internet.. run activation window, select phone activation, note down serial & confirm the same,

 

ez-activator doesn't seem to do anything, the loading bar at the bottom goes green a bit but nothing seems to happen.

 

Use Cold Zero's activation helper v1.5 to check the status, and see what's really going on. ...T

 

I get this error with every button I click... and I get the same one when I run the phone activation process, I assume it should show me some numbers but it doesn't. View attachment 21175 View attachment 21176

 

I think you played a lot with activation before posting... Repair that with "slmgr /rilc" in elevated command prompt & restart, then restore your tokens & try phone activation..

 

good idea : - refresh your pc

better idea :- install windows afresh

 

I was thinking of doing that anyway. If I reinstall should I do the standard KMS activation through the command line and leave it at that? Also, would UpDown8 be of any use to me? ( forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/36726-UpDown8-Windows-8-Upgrade-Downgrade-Helper )

 

yes it will help you to downgrade but , please just install afresh because both will more or less take same time.

 

Okay then. I'll report back with a fresh installation!

Thanks for your help guys

 

Okay so when I tried to boot from the install DVD I got the error code 0xc00000e9 "an unexpected I/O error has occurred"... What now? Should I make a USB drive to install?

 

As setup seems to be unable to read some info, try creating USB-Media.

 

Thank you!

Same error as above will happen if I use to place Office ISO's first and that Vision ISO's. Th Office ISO will be working and the error come up at the Vision ISO.

I also downloaded several other Vision Pro's and all giving the same error.

 

Are none of the servers working atm, or is it me..??
Can't activate by elevated cmd.. What are my alternatives to win8?

 

I did browse through a number of previous pages and so on, wasn't able to sense anything on the topic of servers and/or the method being invalid.. thanks for the reminder.
