Windows 8 KMS Activation

thanks for thw awnser what about the KMS server ? windows will use MS kms server or the pirate i just add when i actived my current windows version ?

 

I think the product key for 8.1 might be stored in the following 2 binary keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId

and/or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId4

I haven't tested it yet.

 

I have also noticed this. there is a file in "C:\ProgramData\regid.1991-06.com.microsoft\regid.1991-06.com.microsoft_Windows-8.1-Pro-with-Media-Center.swidtag".

Hey so I'm sure this question gets asked a lot now and I'm probably just being a noob/overly cautious but:

My 180 day KMS activation ran out today, and I'm getting the annoying watermark. Can I just reactivate with KMS like I would with a new install? What are the downsides of not being activated, apart from the watermark?

 

With KMS Emulator you can activate your Windows as often as you wish

 

I've used an offline activator now because I couldn't find any KMS servers... thanks for the reply anyway though, I'll bear that in mind

 

58.173.212.51 is still online - feel free to use it.

 

Is this support by Windows 8.1?

 

Go look at the first page.

The answer is no.

 

On October 18, it will be.

 

we hope

 

That is making the assumption the kms v6 is cracked or hacked into networking wise and cloned into a working emulator.

 

Could somebody tell me where can I look for the KMS - Server Update?

 

Don't some people already have Win 8.1 ENT activated?

 

sure but not with KMS

 

if you have vlsc your KMS servers on Win 8.1 and Server 2012R2 are working fine.

 

if they are open, you are right. I cannot check from my end

So with Windows 8.1 you'll need separate KMS servers to activate Win 8.1 and Office 2013 ? Or can one server activate them both like you currently can with Win 8 ?
