    mine is Ent non N.

    What I did:-

    1. Set TCP/IPv4 server addresses:
    Preffered DNS server: 8 . 8 . 8 . 8
    Alternate DNS server: 8 . 8 . 4 . 4

    Time Zone:- India, did snyc with internet.

    2. Restart the system. (restarting PC is important)

    3. Run cmd as administrator.

    4 Enter following commands:

    slmgr -skms benderrodriguez-1-pt.tunnel.tserv28.waw1.ipv6.he.net
    slmgr -ato

    Error:- KMS couldn't be contacted!! :biggrin::biggrin:

    WMC edition will not activate with either of the 2 keys provided here unfortunately.
    Has anyone gotten Win 8 pro with WMC installed activated?

    I suggest Clearing Your DNS Cache

    Open CMD with Admin rights.

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Reboot system and follow the entire process i mentioned again.

    if you do it will deactivate and then you'll have the same problem I do. No way that I can tell to change it back once WMC is installed either.
