Windows 8 Activation Methods

Hi everyone
Um.. for those who haven't activated their Windows 8 yet, you can still do it by following this tutorial, read carefully! it's quite simple... KMS servers have been tested, work like a charm , so hurry before they go down


IMPORTANT!! BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE ACTIVATION (do not skip this):
*IF YOU ALREADY TRIED TO ACTIVATE USING SOME KIND OF UNOFFICIAL/UNTRUSTED ACTIVATOR, FIRST UNINSTALL IT, THEN RUN "sfc /scannow" IN COMMAND PROMPT (as admin) TO FIX CORRUPTED/MODIFIED SYSTEM FILES.
*MAKE SURE YOUR TIME ZONE IS CORRECT AND SYNCHRONIZE THE TIME WITH THE WINDOWS TIME SERVICE.
*NOW YOU'RE GOOD TO GO! JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW...


INSTRUCTIONS :
#1) Open CMD (as admin)
#2) Run these commands -one line after the other- by replacing <KMS KEY> and <KMS SERVER> with a KMS Key/Server from the links below:

slmgr.vbs -ipk <KMS KEY>
slmgr -skms <KMS SERVER>
slmgr.vbs -ato

#3) Tarraaa!! Have Fun

UPDATE 2 (PHONE ACTIVATION... CHECK MAK KEY VALIDITY) : WANNA ACTIVATE WINDOWS 8 BUT YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE MAK KEY IS STILL VALID ? THIS UTILITY DOES THE JOB: PID Checker.


UPDATE 3 : AN OTHER WORKING KMS SERVER - T

This server is also working: kms.creighton.edu:1688

IT TURNED OUT THAT BOTH ARE SAME SERVER WITH DIFFERENT DNS NAME (OTHER NAMES FOR THE SAME SERVER: winpermit7.creighton.edu...), BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY... IT DOES THE JOB




UPDATE 4 (NOTICE!):
* FOR ENTERPRISE, JUST RUN "-skms" AND "-ato" COMMANDS, NO NEED FOR A KEY AS IT'S PREINSTALLED.
* 90-DAYS EVALUATION VERSION CANNOT BE ACTIVATED (NEITHER BY KMS OR PHONE), WHEN IT EXPIRES IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RENEW OR REACTIVATE.

UPDATE 6 (PROWMC ACTIVATION) : KMS ACTIVATION DOESN'T  WORK WITH WINDOWS 8 PROWMC, SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO UPGRADE TO PROWMC, PLEASE FIRST ACTIVATE PRO VERSION, THEN AFTER ADDING WMC USE PHONE METHOD TO GET ACTIVATED.
*IF YOU MISSED PRO ACTIVATION PART, YOU'LL BE UNABLE TO INSTALL MAK KEY AFTER UPGRADING WHICH MEANS NO ACTIVATION.

UPDATE 7 (NEW KMS SERVER -
UNLIKE OTHER SERVERS, FULL SUPPORT IS PROVIDED TO PEOPLE WHO ACTIVATE THROUGH HIS SERVER (lunar21.no-ip.org:80) IN CASE THEY GET ERROR MESSAGES DURING ACTIVATION PROCESS, SINCE HE HAS ACCESS TO KMS ACTIVATION LOGS.
SO IF YOU FACE ANY TROUBLES, JUST LEAVE A POST WITH YOUR PC NAME AND MESSAGE ERROR CODE (example: 0XC004F074..) AND YOU'LL GET THE SOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

* 0xC004F074 ERROR RESOLUTION: SET THE TIMEZONE AT (GMT +02:00 CAIRO), OR SOMTHING NO FURTHER THAN 4 HOURS AWAY FROM CAIRO TIMING, THEN SYNCHRONIZE THE TIME... IF YOU STILL GET THE SAME ERROR, CHECK SERVER STATUS IT'S STILL UP OR NOT.
