    Thanks, can't try it at the moment though (not home) ... but is it possible to activate if you're already activated and get another 180 days? Or do i have to wait until activation runs out first?

    Recommend using Microsoft Toolkit by CODYQX4 instead of dubious tools from elsewhere.

    ProWMC cannot be KMS-activated, normally. No official KMS server would give a valid response. Through KMS emulation you can fake a valid response, but with the restriction of the grace only being 30 days. In other words: You will only get 30 days, but you can renew at any time.

    Note that Core and ProWMC KMS activation loophole will possibly be fixed in the future, maybe already with 8.1 RTM.

    Edit: Core and ProWMC do not auto-renew KMS activation, you need to use a task trigger.

    Windows can not be activated using KMS server

    I'm having problems with Windows 8 Activation using KMS.

    Whenever I run the following code in Command Prompt (It is run using Administrator i.e. 'Run as administrator')
    Code:
    slmgr.vbs -ipk <key>
    I get the following error
    Code:
    Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges
    When I run the following code
    Code:
    slmgr /skms <kms-server>
    There is no error

    But when I run the following code
    Code:
    slmgr.vbs -ato
    I again get the following error
    Code:
    Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges
    Note: All the commands are carried out in command prompt with elevated privileges (It is run using Administrator i.e. 'Run as administrator')


    slmgr.vbs /dlv command gives

    Code:
    Name: Windows(R), Professional edition
    Description: Windows(R) Operating System, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel

    Configured Activation Type: All
    Please use slmgr.vbs /ato to activate and update KMS client information in order to update values.
    
    Note: I have also scanned my system for malware and viruses.

    I have also carried out sfc /scannow in normal mode and safe mode


    Any help would be appreciated. :biggrin:

    The language version of W8 certainly has nothing to do with activation process. I assume some major bug at your end as this is very unusual and never heard about this behavior in any way since

    So what should I do? Can you recommend me anything?
    Can it be a virus or a malware?
