    If you talking about trying to activate than NO. You will have to reinstall without WMC.

    Yes in fact you can uninstall WMC through "Turn windows features on and off" but you still won't be able to revert back to a non-WMC Pro key. At least as far as I know. I'm in the same situation that you are. Seems WMC is the only activation that won't work atm.

    If anyone knows of a way to revert Win 8 Pro WMC edition back to Win 8 Pro without a full Windows reinstall from scratch, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks all.

    That gogo6 client didn't work for me, but I ended up enabling teredo in Windows which did the trick

    downgrade from w8 pro wmc to w8 pro:
    regedit
    hkey local machine => software => microsoft => windows nt => current version
    export current version reg backup
    change edition id from "ProfessionalWMC" to just "Professional"
    run install disk
    select "upgrade"
    it should bypass the "unable to downgrade" checker if it's able to complete compliance check
    if that doesn't fix 100% you may have to delete the "WMC" in the digitalproductid4 binary

    note: this has taken from somewhere in this forum.
