    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.

    Nope. Phone activation using MAK is unreliable at best.

    Nope, KMS activation is just as legit as any other activation; you can update the OS (Windows Update, that is) without looking for new versions of activators.

    They can detect your activation, yes. It's advisable to block those phone-home packets. Read the OP, there's a trick to stop Windows from calling home.

    Is the command slmgr/ ckms ? To revert to default Kms host?

    Âlso should i backup my activation or just make a image and then restore that image if there is a issue with my OS? Virus etc .

    I don't plan swapping hardware till next year about this time, mobo , cpu. I should be able to renew the license in 6 months with Kms? Or use whatever version is out at the time to re sync my computer to Kms.

    Sorry if this not clear typing on ipad

    What do you mean by "default KMS host"? There is no such thing as a default KMS host AFAIK... :g:

    Backup activation. But if you're using a KMS activator from here, it doesn't make a difference.

    Ideally, you should be able to renew within 6 months; again, see previous question's reply.

    Nope, that will block nothing. That just makes your system "forget" the KMS host address.

    That is why its necessary to sift through all the information found here and find the juicy threads.

    There is also a wonderful tool called the search area of the forum.


    Ya know I made a wonderful thread about this in order to clarify activation issues with Windows 8.

    This just makes me feel a bit sad on the inside lol.

    See my signature man...

    Trust me no disrespect to you I have read over your thread to help users like myself to get through the activation.
    Sometimes I like to talk to forum members just to get clarification to iron out questions that i had trouble finding or could be hard for me to understand

    I am very new at this KMS activation since i am coming from SLIC bios mods the last 3 years.

    I just wanted to make sure everything i did was good to go from what i mentioned in my last thread

    Thanks again

    great job

    I respect u as u r providing greats for users like us to learn more and more.A computer user since 1999. I understand that U are all the leaders in this IT world.

    Thumbs up CAN I UPDATE WINDOWS 8 PRO W WMC CURRENTLY ACTIVATEDbyMICROSOFT TOOLKITofCODY TO 8.1

    I have the windows 8 pro with wmc activated by Microsoft toolkit of mdl (provided by MURPHY78throughTHEPIRATEBAY). which reactivates every 30 days by the installed service. I want to Update using the windows 8.1 iso without loosing any settings and programs currently installed and applied. Is it possibe? and if it is............

    1. WHICH ISO OF WINDOWS 8.1 SHOULD I USE?

    2. WHEN SHOULD I USE KMSPICO SERVICE INSTALL, i.e. BEFORE WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE OR AFTER WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE INSTALLATION?

    3. WILL IT ASK FOR ANY KEY DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS AND IF ASKED WHAT SHOULD I USE?

    4. IF ISO INSTALLATION IS NOT POSSIBLE CAN I USE WINDOWS STORE TO UPDATE TO 8.1 BY FIRST INSTALLING KMSPICO AND THEN STORE UPDATE?

    5. SHOULD I UNINSTALL KMSSERVICE BY MICROSOFTTOOLKIT OF MDL BEFORE KMSPICO.

    sorry for long question. But seems to be relevant and serious questions that are not answered yet in MDL.

    Sorry, but don't take offence by my saying this, but every one of these issues are addressed here in this forum. The bottom line is that you are making this way too complicated.

    Get a VL ISO
    Install
    Activate
    Done.
