i think someone will release mini kms offline activator in the future

Worked for me, but its pointless for me really.

windows 8 doesn't have trial period or any expiration date its permanently in activation notification mode

so if you remove that you can use it without expiration and any nags indefinitely

But you won't be able to personalize your computer, but I did not know you could trial it indefinitely, and yes it may be useful if that's the case.

Not Activator actually, what i mean is a some kind of unlocker, that can unlock all feature of Windows 8 even the Windows 8 not activated yet (you know that Windows 8 came out with 1000 times Rearm). Unlike Windows 7 that have no limit in feature even running in trial mode (Not Activated) but only have 3 times rearm count. That's why timesurfer from mdl made a script that can reset the rearm count, to restore the rearm limit back to 3 times so that user can user Windows 7 for free without have to activate it.

I hope you can get my point, thanks.

Sorry for the bad English, Peace :)

Careful with this one disables Software Protection Platform, if you try the apps store it will not connect @ least on Win 8 Pro. I am installing Win 8 ENT on a virtual machine to try. At the very least export your registry hive before trying it out. Update: I did try this on a virtual Win 8 ENT 64, The watermarks still appear but the activate windows screen did not appear. This is on a machine using a Microsoft Account, the Apps store and SkyDrive were accessible. The catch with this is you have temporarily at least broken SPP. Product ID: Not Available. Have a backup of Your Registry Hive.

Added version 2.0 of Windows 8 personalization

Metro background and start / lock screen picture

note:

for Win8 Core and Pro if you are using retail key (not vl, kms) look here

Link

share code:

/4Ke61YH2

at bottom of the page are gvlk ( kms ) keys, find your edition and the default key, start administrator command prompt, type:

slmgr.vbs -upk

this removes your key and then add the new vl, kms key by typing this:

slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx
