    I activated 7 days ago, can I activate again to regain 180 days?


    I installed, after 10 days I activated, my question is, after 180 days, is my 30 days to activate is only 20 days or 30 days again?

    You can reactivate as often as you want, you´ll always get 180 days more :D. In opposite to Win 7 there is no 30 days grace period in Win 8, you´ll only get a watermark/nag screen in case you miss it to reactivate within 180 days.

    Nobody here waits for an Activator.

    KMS does this Job.

    Trying to figure out why my kms count keeps reseting, I deployed 2 KMS servers for high availibity in HyperV firewalled them from the internet using TMG so all traffic to the internet is blocked (before installation and verifed its not allowing even ping 8.8.8.8 out) yet i cant keep either KMS up for 20 hours the count keeps reseting

    The existing scheduler data does not match the expected data. The schedule will be re-evaluated.

    What kind are these hosts, build from leaked Tokens? Would recommend using KMS Server Service or Emulator.

    I have installed KMS Pico 1. Windows 8 and Office 2013. When I click on file in KMS pico - Check all, I get this:

    volume activation expiration: 185140 minute(s), 129 day(s)

    Can somebody explain to me what's mean volume activation expiration? Is that mean, After 129 days, I must again install KMS pico? Or not?

    You had activated your VL edition of Windows and Office using KMS activation method. Normally KMS activation exists for 180 days. That is what mentioned as volume activation expiration.

    And, you are not required to reinstall KMSpico after 129 days. It should auto activate your Windows and Office before it reaches 180 days.

    Additionally, if you require latest edition of KMSpico or MTK, look out my signature.

    Hope the above helps.

    Volume Licensed Products need to be activated every 180 days. Thats how it works. Since you had KMS pico installed, but it is not renewing the activation every week/logon whichever it is designed for, i suggest you uninstall it first and install the KMSServerService 1.3 from deagles and forget about activation as it will take care of renewals..

    KMS_VL_ALL is for manual activation, so Yes.
    But if you install the KMSServerService as i stated above in my previous post, you can forget about re-activation, the service take care of it. Its permanent.

    Thank you so much!

    Only tell me, which file I must run first? And, did I run this as admin?

    install.cmd
    kms.exe
    KMS_VL-ALL 3.3.1.cmd
