    not sure what you are saying. I've tried both. Its a very straight forward method... messing it up is nearly impossible. It simply will not ping.

    Re-Yes, that's exactly what I used, but I omitted the first line, because I have Windows 8 Enterprise installed. Are you using Windows 8 Pro?

    I am using 8 Pro 32-bit in vmware.

    First post updated.
    Please keep this thread on-topic, which would be what I need to update/add/change to the first informational post.

    Why would anyone use Windows 8 Pro when Windows 8 Enterprise has more features? Is it because of WMC? I think WMC is crap anyways.

    Did you finish activation using slmgr.vbs /ckms to clear kms server? Activated mine (Win 8 Pro x64) 16 hrs ago, still no problems with activation status.

    Yes, whenever you use slmgr /ckms, to activate again, you have to input the KMS server address again using slmgr /skms <KMS Server>.

    I love how everyone is freaking out over activation, grow up and be patient.

    Every KMS activation has expire date to 6months, unless you did retail activation (needs genuine key)

    My Windows 8 Pro doesn't have WMC but I'm installing Enterprise now because I think it'll activate easier than the Pro via KMS.

    What if you don't activate one of your Windows 8 Enterprise 64bit? I know you won't have the option to change your Lock/Start/Account picture and there will be Activation Overlay/Watermark on your desktop. But what the expire date for that does anyone know?

    Mine just says rearm count remaining 1000. As of now, I don't think it has an expiration date. Maybe after the retail version is actually in stores M$ will try to disable?
