    Hi Guys, I've activated my Win 8.1 x64 via AutoKMS. Its been quite sometime, I've heard that licenses expire after 180 days, and then AutoKMS re-activates it automatically. Is it true?

    I'm asking this is because, everytime I switch on my PC, I get a notification saying that it will expire soon. Will AutoKMS reactivate it automatically or am I supposed to do something?

    I depends on which KMS you used. then it depends if you allowed the Schedule to be Active or not.
    also you can chek to see what time is left.. most of the KMS also have a License Checker that give you time left, or just use the KMS again an Reactive now.
    you also can validate your Activation with VAMT 3.1

    You can check the activation grace left in admin command prompt with:

    Code:
    cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv
    AutoKMS should reactivate you normally. In case it's failing create exclusion in your Antivirus for C:\Windows\AutoKMS folder, then uninstall it and reinstall.

    Why are you searching for servers instead of using local KMS emulators??

    Typical answer Tito: I want a clean KMS with no files / registry mods as KMS emulators do, but they don't realize those KMS servers could be offline at any moment...

    Would guess KMS activation on a private client could always be considered suspicious :cool2:.

    Oh yeah is quite risky to use those private servers, you've got another valid point.

    Does Microsoft Toolkit & KMSpico run a KMS server on the system as stated in the above quote?

    Sorry, actually my question should have been more specific. My concern is more about if I use MTK or KMS pico to activate W8.1 or Office, will they run a kms server on my system for that or will they apply a more light method?

    I 'd like to avoid facing the first post statement:
    What does EZ-activator from MTK actually do (in detail)?

    KMS emulators have evolved to the point that they consume very little resources on the host PC. It is no longer necessary to run a KMS server in a virtual machine. Heck, there are even KMS emulators that run under Linux and you can install them in a router, NAS device, RaspberryPI, or even a TV tuner box.

    Would you be so kind enough to provide me idiot proof instructions via pm for running it on a router like ASUS RMerlin or Tomato, I'm aware of how to use it via Qpython

    use MTK and you never need to search for a server again
