    If you install AutoKMS or KMS Server Service, then it automatically renews the activation.

    Please read before post.

    :rolleyes:

    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?

    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.
