ACTIVATING WINDOWS 8 WITHOUT USING CRACK OR PATCH

Windows 8 is the latest collection to the Microsoft operating system (OS). Windows 8 has a slick design and it is also very nice to use with some extra features that will make you love it even more.windows 8 operating system

I love windows 8 and its features but to be honest with you guys, I don’t have the money to purchase its license so I decide to search online to see if I’d see a crack or a patch for my windows 8. Hey! For your information guys I had no luck searching for the crack because all I could find was virus, buggy and empty cracks that crashes my system over and over again. We all know that window 8 is a new OS and the crack might be hard to find but I never gave up, so after my long search, I saw just a serial number so I decide to put the serial key manually myself and after many trial and errors, I finally made my windows 8 fully genuine. Yayyy

Right now, you too can activate your windows 8 with this trick I am about to drop to be fully genuine without the fear of bug or viruses. I am ready if you’re ready…

HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR WINDOWS 8 TO BE FULLY GENUINE

First of all you will open your command prompt as administrator by pressing the windows key and X key together

have you opened the command prompt?

Now type exactly what you see below (Press enter after each line)

slmgr /upk
slmgr /ipk NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4
slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
slmgr.vbs -ato

Have you completed writing the above command? If you’re done, restart your pc and voila, you have successfully activated your windows 8 to be fully genuine. Now enjoy your activated windows 8 and be limited no more…

      Hi Babanature,
      I am using windows 8 Pro, build 9200
      The fourth step (slmgr.vbs -ato) of your tip is not working. But slmgr.vbs/ato working with error code with description ‘[the Software Licensing Service reported that the product cuold not be activated. No Key Management Service could be Contracted.]” error code 0xC004F074. I have used Benneh Gandhi’s tip also. But same thing is happening. I need your suggestion. Regards.

      • babanature says:

        Try the this steps
        * open the command prompt using admin privilege
        * if the command you typed in is giving you problem remove the :80
        * make sure your pc is properly connected to the internet

        • Connos says:

          i already checked but im still facing this problem

        • Anna says:

          Thank you!!!! My windows is activated with the steps suggested by benneh Gandhi!!however I’m unable to use any office products.
          When I try to open a new blank page on word I got the message” activation is required to authenticate this copy of Microsoft office.” Then it ask me to enter a product key.
          I’m running windows 8 pro 64, I have a brand new laptop hp pavilion C2M97UA.
          The pc was sent to me by a relative living in a different country, he got it as a payment for a job and is impossible to get a product key.
          I apologize for my ignorance and thanks a lot in advance if there is anything you can do for me.

        • shankar says:

          i have followed all your steps but the same error reported again

  2. giIg says:

    The site lunar21.no-ip.org is no more reachable… What a pity!

  3. ranjith says:

    first command gives error: “no product key”
    i am getting error with the second command also

  4. Benneh Gandhi says:

    I’m using “Windows 8 Lite”.
    I have tested “W8 Activator” to activate Windows 8 Lite but it don’t works alone. Then I typed the four commands you show above. After run “W8 Activator” again it activated the Windows 8 Lite like a charm!

    PS: I have tested the W8 Activator with Windows 8 Enterprise and it works very well and no need the commands above.

    If you don’t know W8 Activator or Windows 8 Lite, “Google is your friend”.

    Hope this helps!
    (Sorry for my bad english. I’m not a native english speaker)

    When i’m writing that command it shows error AS 0xCOO4F025 ACCESS DENIED THE REQUESTED ACTION REQUIRES ELEVATED PRIVILEGES.

  41. Radanzel says:

    I haven’t tried this method so I’m not saying it doesn’t work……. it seems some people have had at least some degree of luck with this.

    However…….

    Ive used various cracks for Win8 and they have all made windows report that “Windows is activated”. But a few days down the line my internet connection stopped working, the only way to make it work was to set the date back, but even then it only worked for a while and windows seemed to work out what Id done and it stopped working again. Just cos it says “activated” doesn’t mean it is. Ill wait a few months for a working crack as Ive just uninstalled this.

    Besides this method will only work for some time. Microsoft will (if they haven’t already) block that key/number and possibly do something to stop the whole method from working so even if you find a different key it still wont work.

    Im sticking with 7 for now.

    • babanature says:

      Hello Radanzel,
      I understand how you feel. It is true that when things like this get spread, it can be easily blocked. But i have most assurance that this command will not, they might block the key but not the command. so what i’ll advice you to do Randanzel, is to look for a new key to replace with the above and use it with the full command. how’s that?

  42. haseeb says:

    Hi, I have followed all the steps for activating windows 8 it worked but the validation is only for 6 months, I have followed the link for getting the key as well, but when I tried with the key I have received from Microsoft it says that its not a valid key for this version windows 8 pro 9200 build. Can you please help……

  43. haseeb says:

    after running the key which I received from Microsoft, my system rebooted and the activation was gone, its asking me to activate it again, I tried the same steps but its giving me this error
    Error:0xcoo4f069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run’slui.exe 0x2a0xc005f69 to display the error text

  44. Aravind says:

    it shows ur command prompt disabled by administrator..what to do???

  45. Trizzcuitt says:

    so i have tried the above mentioned and it doesnt work…..keeps saying that it cant contact the KMS any suggestions.

  46. fuego says:

    I did run above commands, but on command:slmgr /ipk NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4 it shows me error “..non core edition run slui.exe”. Please resolve. Im running in elevated command prompt with internet connection

    • babanature says:

      Hello fuego,
      Tell us the product you’re using so we can better know the problem!

      • fuego says:

        Product is Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation Build 9200

        • babanature says:

          hmmm… I don’t think that windows 8 Enterprise Evolution will work with the command, but if you can combine it with an activator, it might work. But i have not used an activator before.

      • fuego says:

        Hi
        I researched MSDN for my build and it says that Windows 8 Enterprise evaluation is a 90 Days trial and can not be upgraded. You need to clean install a fresh copy. Now can you also provide a download link/torrent where i can download a copy of windows where in this patch has been tested and works perfectly.

  76. wolfy1339 says:

    it dos not work!!!!!! I followed all the instructions but it did not work…
    when i enter the first command and i execute it it says Product Key Not Found…
    The second command says ”Error:0xC004E
    016 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core eddition, run ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004E016′ to display the error text.
    The third command succeeds
    the fourth says Error product key not found

    • babanature says:

      Hello wolfy,
      Now let me tell you what the commands do.
      The first command which is “slmgr /upk” deletes the current serial key you’ve entered (if there’s any)
      The second command “slmgr /ipk SERIAL KEY” – adds the specified serial you typed
      the third command “/skms lunar21…” Connects your product to that kms server
      The forth command “slmgr.vbs -ato” Activates the serial key you entered before.

      Now that i have brake it down more, you’ll see that there is something wrong with your product. The command is not giving you errors but the way you implement it. you are not doing it well as you supposed to. thanks

  77. Mubashar Ali says:

    i enter the first command it works, bt the second command is display the error on :0xc004F069 on a computer running microsoft windows non-core edition.

    hi sir please help me
    the first command works but the other command shows error not using core version I tried all things you mentioned above to other but dint wotked I on didn’t tried another key so if you have another diff one please post thank

  84. MarcSwiss says:

    Hi there, thanks for sharing your method with us. For me it worked fine in principle with a Windows 8 Pro ISO-file. The only problem is, that activation lasts for 180 days only. How did you manage to get an indefinite activation? Do you think your method might work with the same product key one more time after 180 days have expired and once more when 360 days have expired and so on …?

  85. Al Shanu.S says:

    I had done as u told but after restarting windows a notification appeared dat i need to activate my windows what shall i do next ????

    • babanature says:

      if you have done it as prescribed and it is still showing the activate windows, then you have done it all wrong. make sure you’re connected to the internet and execute the command again.

    what for windows 8 release preview build 8400

    plz mail me if any at

    djdn987@gmail.com

  87. Overkill says:

    WOW! it worked straight away, thanks you!
    Three questions if you don’t mind?
    1. How long does this last, 180 days?
    2. Can Microsoft black list that product key?
    3. Could I use a product that belongs to me?

    • babanature says:

      Hello, Glad it worked for you now for your question.
      1. it can last more than that. mine is forever. what about you?
      2. Nope because the key was provided by them so it will not be blacklisted.
      3. Definitely, but only if you have the right key.

      • Overkill says:

        I got 180 days using the above method with the above product key.
        I tried it with a genuine upgrade key but it didn’t work.

  88. MarcSwiss says:

    Yesterday I made the mistake to check the box “Notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail”. How can i stop this? Now I uncheck the tickbox this time. Hope this helps and stops the service ….

  95. David says:

    Thanks, it worked and is simple enough.
    To all the other readers, please do not download any Activator software.
    They are all loaded with virus.
    I tried and was successful just using the 4 line of command
    Best solution I have come across.

  96. mayjay96 says:

    Thank you was struggling for days to get it to work and it worked first shot thank you so much

    thanks man it works great
    what happen when the date runs out will you have something for us we can use. Thank again please let me know what do i do when the date runs out, thank you my friend your the best

    • babanature says:

      Hello crabby,
      glad it worked for you. before the time runs out i’d have a new product key to replace the default one. but once the times is done you can still re-apply the process again and it will surely work.

  98. Ismail says:

    Thank You soooooooooooo much. It works perfectly. Now my doubt is can I install updates? Can I use automatic updates?

  99. crabby says:

    i spoke to soon i updated and now it says this key is being used
    please enter another key
    well i try to do it all over again and doing it over again will not work i get error, now it keep saying update with new key no key or doing this over again will work once i updated and restarted , it now show use another key this one is being use. Please give me a working key thank you so much

  107. dinesh says:

    Dear Friends. please do not try these above steps with your valuable PC. because Microsoft very very smart nowadays. They know hackers can do anything. they allow everything but they will kill your PC very soon. i have used many steps like KMS, cmd commands, Microsoft media keys but i lost my data severely . better you may use Windows 7 or XP . Stay away from Windows 8 crackkkkkkkk.

    • babanature says:

      Hello dinesh,
      this is where you got the whole thing wrong. crack can ruin your system if you use it because some are filled with virus or is corrupt. but the one you are seeing above you now is not a crack neither is it an activator. The command above is 100% safe and with guarantee by me. you should try it out before condemning it.

  108. dinesh says:

    Dear Babanature
    I’m not condemning it. i always support this type of activators. because i have used this type of activation for my previous Windows 7 ultimate, XP . but windows 8 fire back now. i have used microsoft activation keys. 29 days worked like charm but,when i was entered 30th day i faced many problems. that’s why i say like that. I appreciate your hard work keep rocks.

    • babanature says:

      Hi once again,
      I know how that feels. i have had that issue once with my xp (that’s a long time ago). but right now, new methods and new ways are coming out, so you just need to try this and see how it goes. thanks for the reply

  122. David says:

    I successfully installed and had Win 8 Pro activated on 2 tablet and 2 subnote. However, interesting was that I dicovered that when I installed WMC, my Win 8 became deactivated. So, I reinstalled without WMC. To all readers, there is no need for any Windows activator software. I found 3 and all 3 had trojans and virus. Babanature instructions works beautifully and simply. Very straightforward. Thanks Babanature. Now I need to find a way to activate Windows 7

      The commands should work for you. make sure you open your command prompt using admin privileges and make sure that for each like you put the command, you’ll hit the enter button and also make sure that you’re connected to the internet. it will definitely work for you

    • babanature says:

      Hello himanshu,
      My command is 100% working so if it is not working for you, then maybe it’s not compatible with your product. but people with consumer preview said the trick is working for them so please you should preview the steps one more time and try it again. or do a screen shot of the problem upload it to a file sharing site and send it to me here…

  130. Mihai says:

    There is something strange: In System, it says ” Windows is not activated.”. If I press on “View details in Windoes Activation”, it is written ” Windows is activated” ! In the end, is activated or not ?! I also have a watermark on the lower-right corner of the desktop saying: “Windows 8 Pro / Build 9200″. That thing usually appears when is NOT activated.

  132. SHIVA says:

    So, with conflicting opinions in these comments, I see it seems to have worked for most people.
    But when i tried the method, everything seemed to go fine, but on restarting the system, i saw it was still not activated.
    I am currently on Windows 8 Pro build 9200.
    I tried running the commands again, but on entering the second command,
    It showed me an error: ’0XC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid.’
    Does this key still work, for anyone, as on the 11th of Feb?\, 2013?
    I would appreciate any help on acquiring a different product key to try.

    Thanks a lot Babanature!

    • babanature says:

      This is the solution i can render;
      * open the command prompt using admin privilege
      * if the command you typed in is giving you problem remove the :80
      * make sure your pc is properly connected to the internet
      If you perform all this and still did not work, then your windows can not be activated through command. the only option is to collect key from microsoft directly.

    Hi

    If you follow the same you will get “Windows is Activated” in the system properties but actually your windows is not activated !!!!..

    If you are activated your copy of Windows 8 completely then only you can customize personalization settings (User Account Picture, Lock Screen & Start Screen).

    Please follow the steps and check your windows is completely activated or not…

    Hit Win+C go to “Settings” then go to “Change PC Settings” at the bottom right corner and check whether you can customize the personalization settings, if the options are not highlighting then you need to activate your windows.

    If you wish to remove the current activation, open the command prompt with administrator privilege then “sfc /scannow”.

    fantastic site on activating win8. Thank you
    One question, do you know of any way to add win media center to win8 ultimate N edition?
    I did add win media player then realized I would really prefer media center.

    Thanks
    John

  195. muslim says:

    my activtion expired.. can i get activtion forever? please answer

  196. Techno Master says:

    Dear Babanature,

    Please check that whether you can customize the personalization settings (User Account Picture, Lock Screen & Start Screen). If no then your windows is not activated. This key will be expire in 90 days and you can’t activate Windows by following the same procedure.

  197. nitin says:

    Hi Babanature,
    Ur method worked perfectly well. after that i installed media center feature with the free key i have and after that the activation is gone. I tried this method again and it says “Error:0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069′ to display the error text” at the 2nd step. then i searched the web n tried some other keys. The 2nd step worked fine but every time it fails in the last step and it says “no kms could be contacted” . i am using cmd as admin and aslo tried the 3rd step without “:80″ . kindly help me out

  198. Ernie says:

    • babanature says:

      Hello Jahmil,
      The serial above is from microsoft itself but if you have any other windows 8 key, it will also work but if it is not a windows 8 key, it will not work

  264. ive tried these steps once too many! if you delete the prod key then it should run fine but you should not download the updates that are going to be needed because they will stop the operating system. if you have the windows 8 enterprise build 9200 like i have just put the first one in (slmgr /upk) that will work also dont visit the microsoft websites coz they can track you and still shut you down.

    please help what should i do.?

    thanks

    • babanature says:

      is your time zone correct? are you connected to the internet? did you give your command admin privilege? try these steps and it will work…

      • cmasurya says:

        Hi babanature

        Yes my time zone is exact.I am connected to internet, and yes I gave command in admin privilege.
        anything else I can do?
        one thing… I have downloaded win 8 trial version today day itself and installed it today only. I don’t want to wait for 90 days, as I can not use personalise etc. features in trial version.. so can I activate it now.
        Thanks
        cma

  298. bogdan m says:

    hy guys..i had tryed ..this trick but is not working… does anyone know to help me activate my windows for ever..i shall leave my email adress .., thx people

  299. PS says:

    OK I have Windows 8 Ent.
    I tried below steps
    slmgr /upk
    (worked fine)
    slmgr /ipk 32JNW-9KQ84-P47T8-D8GGY-CWCK7
    (worked fine)
    slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
    (worked fine)
    slmgr.vbs -ato
    (received error – 0xc004f074 no kms could be conected”

    so I tried below KMS servers in the third step. But all gave the same error.

    lunar21.no-ip.org
    kms.dant.net.ru
    147.134.1.42:1688
    walkercorps.zapto.org

    The I tried pinging all these server but none of them got resolved.

    So i believe, the issue is with the KMS servers.. could anyone provide us with the latest KMS servers??

  300. DeadDevil says:

  301. Senthil says:

    Hi Babanature,

    i tried your method for cracking windows 8 on that

    step 2: shows some error: 0xC004E016 on computer running microsoft windows non-core edition, suli.exe 0xc004e016 to display the error text.
    Step 3: message: key management service name set to lunar21.no-ip.org:80 sucessfully- which is okay i belive.
    Step 4: error:product not found.

    please help me how to fix..

    • babanature says:

      i have seen the screenshot and you did it well but try to do it again because the reason you see the fail to connect is because your connection failed just tried it again. okay!!!

  325. akshay says:

    heyy everyone!! im a guy from india whos got his new laptop.. yeahh!! this would be my final one till i get a good college seat.. so am not risking anything!! and dude.. i believe you.. am gonna try that sometime.. but what happens if it does not work?! does my laptop just stops functioning.. or it gives a warning to enter a new serial key?! if it does so.. how much days would i have a trial version left!!
    can you please give me a list of consequences that i may have if that thing doesn’t work?! just as precaution!!
    and dude!! me doesn’t blame you!! am just a ‘check that another time’ guy in everything!!

    • babanature says:

      Hello Akshay,
      You really did ask some valuable questions here and i love it. Let me answer some of the questions. If you use the command and it does not work for you, it will not disturb your normal trial period and it will not give warning for a new serial key.
      some said it last for 180 days but me i say it last longer….

  326. Elumalai says:

    Hello babanature:
    i need your help again.
    i had problem again…
    why means windows ask update then i update windows
    then i had same problem windows 8 pro build 9200
    then i follow your all posts and i entered these lines and i got error from 3rd line
    slmgr /upk
    slmgr /ipk NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4
    slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
    slmgr.vbs -ato

    the error is :500 variables is undefined(microsoft VBScript run time error

    • babanature says:

      The command stated there is an undefined variable, you need to re-insert the command and insert it with care so you wont make a mistake. You made a mistake thats why you see the 500 variable is undefined…

  327. Elumalai says:

    please tell me another way

  328. soniya says:

    your last line doesn’t work an error i.e., ERROR: not found
    come on my screen

  329. akshay raja says:

    another doubt… if that somehow goes wrong.. can i again use my old key?!
    and these steps wont delete my date wont they?!

  338. Akash says:

    Hey. What does the commands
    slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
    slmgr.vbs -ato
    Do?
    And which product key is uninstalled?

    • babanature says:

      slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80 – Connect to that kms server
      slmgr.vbs -ato – Activates the serial key you entered before.

      • Akash says:

        Hey.Are you sure that the KMS server is safe?
        For some reason,I don’t think the above steps are safe.
        I think my privacy and stuff will be compromised.

        • babanature says:

          Hello Akash,
          If you’re afraid of using the above steps you don’t have to… but remember this; even if you use an activator the activator will still pass through a KMS server. So if you’re afraid of using KMS, try buying the original windows 8 from microsoft ;)

  339. Ashish says:

    hello I am using windows 8 enterprise evaluation……I just followed your steps…first i got error in the 3rd step…..then i tried one suggested in your comments….then when i type the 4th comment it shows no serial key found…..so i close the cmd…..i restarted my pc…..now the watermark of no. of days remaining has been removed…..and in system properties in product id information it says no information…. o.O …..i dont know what happened but i can use my windows 8 without any restriction and errors till now…..so I just wanted to say thnx to you …… THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! :-)

    those who are getting the error … like the one ” windows running a non-core edition”…
    1. you have to update to latest .net framework
    2. open cmd with elevated privilages and type in “sfc /scannow”
    3. restart pc once
    4.then again open cmd as admin and then type in “slmgr.vbs /rilc”
    5. now try to activate with the above steps which our friend has
    suggested in this blog.

    n thanks man for your tips,,,,, cheers…

      slmgr /upk (when i typed this …an error message showed which says error: prodect key not found)

    • babanature says:

      Hello Carly,
      Before any of the above commands will work, you will have to open your command prompt by using admin privileges. so why not give it a shot one more time.

      • Carly says:

        I did. Actually it was my fault at first since I didn’t try to use admin.. but now it’s giving me another error :(

        what should be the proper steps..
        I really desperate now..
        My friend has formatted my laptop today and i’m really excited about win 8 ..

    I did exactly as you told me and I still have the Windows 8 Release Preview Evaluation Copy. It did NOT activate. Does this only work on regular Windows 8?

      You can activate it by simply following the steps above or if you’re having problems, read most of the comments to know why you are having that particular problem
