    Does my KMS activation need to expire before I re-activate my Win 8 Pro (virtual machine I use for testing) using KMS, or can I re-activate now with a 180 days from today's date (KMS activation should expire around Jan. 15)?

    Also, does the Microsoft Toolkit still work for my version, or do I need to use a working KMS server known?

    You can reactivate in advance. It just gives you another 180 days before it expires.
    Which version of MTK are you using? MTK 2.4.9 will NOT work for 8.1 or Office 13 on 8.1.

    Is there any kind of warning at some point before activation is due to run out, and if so how many days / how does it warn you (so that you can renew it)?

    Thanks

    There's no warning. Windows will remind you when activation expires; you can reactivate after that.

    AFAIK there is an Out-Of-Tolerance grace of 30 days following the 180 days.

    So which version of Windows 8.1 is the best? i.e. most features or future proof? read that some versions dont have wmc. Is that a big deal?

    edit, sorry wrong thread

    Enterprise is best feature-wise, but only Pro can get WMC. Forget the rest.

    I'm using Enterprise, because I do Not need WMC.

    Used toolkit to activate it (pro vol) and it said successful but when right clicking my computer > properties, in the bottom right corner doesnt have the genuine logo. Is this normal?

    After installing a bunch of win updates my login hangs for about 3-5 minutes after entering password before logging in. event manager tells me it's an sppsvc.exe problem "Acquisition of genuine ticket failed (hr=0xC004C4B3)"

    I tried re-activating the KMS activation (works, and shows as activated), and cleaning it, deleting softwaredistribution folder etc and trying again but nothing works to get rid of this hang, any ideas? or know which update specifically causes it?

    Hi,
    I would like to make a suggestion to the administrator of this fórum:
    Should be possible keep in first page what is working for wind81/office2013?
    There is no way one that just came could read all of this. There is many of no informative questions that just confuse this stuff.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks KMS works great!


    Tonight i installed KMS dashboard 2.0.4 and the 180 day activation period worked on windows 8.1 professional , i do not have to reactivate until july 14th 2014.

    I have a few questions for experienced users on this forum using this program.

    1. Is it possible to get a permanent activation with any program out there besides kms ?
    2. When the OS is ready for an update should i just come back on here to get the latest KMS dashboard?
    3. Will it be possible to detect this activation from MS and will i be able to receive updates?

    Thanks to the developer and just upgraded from Windows 7 SP1 "SLIC" bios..
    So far windows 8.1 runs pretty good, still trying to get used to the layout. But everything else drivers , software seems to run great.
