If you install AutoKMS or KMS Server Service, then it automatically renews the activation. Please read before post.
What would you install? AutoKMS or KMS Server Service? And is it normal to get a message by activating for an exception of the Windoes firewall?
I have a question, I don't follow windows 8 activation news since some month. I installed windows 8 in october with KMS Method, and add WMC free addon, after enter new WMC product key, my Windows 8 was permanently activated. My question is : I want to now if there are new methods to activate permanently Windows 8 ? I think I will do clean install in few weeks, and I want to know if there are new activation methods ? Thanks.
Nothing changed...only safe way for permanent activation is to buy a key. Repeatedly activating via KMS is kind of permanent though.
hmm, will you be able to install windows 8.1 if you activated via kms server? does M$ have something up it's sleeve?
I have a Win 8 Pro x64 KMS activated install, and I am not getting the prompt to upgrade to 8.1 after installing the prerequisite update and rebooting. Maybe KMS activated copies can't try the preview?
Yep, tried procedure on Retail 8 Pro WMC successfully, but failed on KMS activated Pro, no message appears.
Could somebody help? I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 after receiving an email from M$. I activated and I now have 180 days to use but I don't know if when these days run out I just have to do the same process again? All I did was: slmgr /skms <KMS SERVER I chose from the web>slmgr.vbs -ato Or is there any additional process to re-activate after these 180 days?
Windows 8.1 Preview and Windows RT 8.1 Preview expires on January 15th 2014 no matter what activation you have.
