You know.. I never understood why anyone used KMS or Trial stalling or Registry tweaks on any kind of software.. If you're going to pirate the software, might as well make it permanent or 100% working :l
You can always activate Hyper-V, host a KMS server emulator on there and have your windows point to that server using the following in CMD as admin:
Code:
slmgr /skms SERVERIP
slmgr.vbs -ato
The activation will be permanent.
Otherwise, just find a KMS server IP and point it to that, activate and it'll be permanent. OR just download KMS Pico. It should do it all automatically for you. It's up to you.
The current KMS public host IP is:
Code:
whwebsolution.no-ip.org
58.173.212.51
Windows 8:
Code:
slmgr /skms SERVERIP
slmgr.vbs -ato
Windows 8.1:
Code:
slmgr.vbs -skms 58.173.212.51
slmgr.vbs -ato
slmgr.vbs -ckms
slmgr.vbs -xpr
Type them into CMD as administrator.
Hopefully didn't break any of villavu's rules above :l
