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.
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…
This trick was tested on Windows 8 Professional Retail. Enjoy yourself and activate yours today.

Read the comments through and you might find the answer you’re looking for
babanature please i am facing the same issue…reply to my mail or comment..:))
have you read the comment through to know where you go wrong? because every issues has already been solved or answered… but if the problem you’re facing is not listed just give me the complete details so we’ll know how to solve it
ok listen. Im running windows 8 pro built 9200 . the fourth command does NOT work for me. says No Key Management Service (KMS) Could be contacted. everything else works perfectly!its not the windows 8 retail. i tried downloading windows 8 pre-cracked but it had issues..lots of them!please help me:)
Make sure it’s like this (with the space, without the parenthesis)
“slmgr.vbs -ato”
also, i have admin privileges, i am connected to the internet, and still nothing..
is your GMT correct?
look, heres a screenshot..again,built 9200 windows 8 pro http://imageshack.us/f/268/windows8activationfail.JPG/
Ok! this is how you are going to make it work perfectly. Go to your date settings and set the regional setting to your own country’s code… please make sure that the country code matches your country’s own. if you have successfully done that, try it again and it will surely work.
always remember to use admin privileges ok!!!
my god it still didnt work…look i am from a small country called cyprus so maybe thats the problem..please help me!i have the same issue as before, the 4th step fails
…
put this command:
slmgr -skms 147.134.1.42:1688
instead of the 3rd one, this worked for me 🙂
use 4th command as
slmgr.vbs/ato
instead of slmgr.vbs-ato, it will work.
Hi Babanature
Thank You so much.
Tip for anyone trying this method, if you run into an error READ first then READ again all the answers are here,
I had about 6 errors but kept reading and in about 20 min had my win8 activated (until August 2013) but still activated READ,READ,READ then read more

please give me the right way to activate my windows.

The Tip is still working great but if you’re still having problem activating your windows 8, I’ll advice you to upgrade your windows to Windows 10.
Here is a post that will help you migrate successfully http://onenaijablog.com/2015/08/how-to-activate-windows-10-without-using-crack-or-patch/
It doesnt work for me it keep saying that I require elevations privileges
Because you have not given your command prompt administrative privilege. try given it and try it again.
How can I give it privilege?
locate where the command prompt is and right click on it, you’ll see run as administrator in the drop down menu that appears
dear sir

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.
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
i already checked but im still facing this problem
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.
Hello Anna,

i have followed all your steps but the same error reported again
The site lunar21.no-ip.org is no more reachable… What a pity!

plz help
what code did you delete?
tk8tp-9jn6p-7x7ww-rfftv-b7qpf
I’ve send this reply 3 times, if posibleplz help
What does it mean?
my initial product key was “tk8tp-9jn6p-7x7ww-rfftv-b7qpf” found it from Web, And when i’m going to activate it from your way,
1. i’ve run the first command “slmgr /upk”
2. from that i lost my product key
3. when i gave your product key, it says in correct as per the above reply on February 20, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Then you will have to replace my key with yours and see if it works. The command is working for me and has been working for others and it should work for you too.

How to open command prompt on win8 🙁
windows start buttun + X
first command gives error: “no product key”
i am getting error with the second command also
Hello ranjith,
the first command which is “slmgr /upk” only deletes the current serial
key you entered
and the second command “slmgr /ipk SERIAL KEY” – add the specific
serial you typed. You can search for a new serial and input if you feel the serial have stop working.
the code is not working sir.
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)

Hello,
Mr Babanature, can u please let me know from where we can get ISO copy(image) of WINDOWS-8 PRO? as i tried alot on net to surf n find but couldn’t find and from official website i says not valid for your region, as now I am using Evaluation Enterprise where i cant use the trick mentioned by you its showing denied. can u please help me out.
have you tried using a vpn to download it? try using a vpn to shield your normal ip so you can download it.
I am using WIN* Evaluation Enterprise did till 3 steps it was succesfull i used the key sent by microsoft on myu mail and at 4th step its showing product not found..
can anyody help out please
Hello mulla,
if you have the microsoft key, you do not need to use the above procedures. just input the microsoft key directly.
No, I dont have as i dont have DVD also to install here.. its not available to download in our country even i contaced the miscrosoft customer they too told same and if they send the dvd its double than normal price as includes shipping chrage so cant even buy key also as i dont have Win-8 Pro dvd.
I even tried your procedure for Enterprise evaluation edition but 4th step its showind denied as not found.. product not found.. what can be done? as the water mark which was showing at right lower end corner as 88days remaining is not there now but when i check status in properties its showing not available.. what does it mean?
Have you tried the default microsoft key? if not try acquire it and use it! in the meantime i’ll search for a new win8 enterprise download link for you to download. (if i see)
what if we update win 8 after you crack ? does it work or it will not be genuine anymore.
There is nothing wrong with updating it after using the command. The only thing the command did was to change the default key and nothing else.
when I change the server from lunar21.no-ip.org:80 to lunar21.no-ip.org”.
its worked thanks Muhammad fahad
Hello Keshaben,
Glad it worked for you.

Hello Imran,
It is possible if you follow the steps.

You can translate the tutorial to make it more easy for you. the one above can not be more easy than it is. thanks
Dear Sir,
I did what you say. After my system restart it notify me to type key. Please help me from here.

Hello Izhar,
what is the message u’re recieving?
i dosnt work as u said
When i’m writing that command it shows error AS 0xCOO4F025 ACCESS DENIED THE REQUESTED ACTION REQUIRES ELEVATED PRIVILEGES.
ok! First locate the command prompt and give it administrative privilege. secondly on the third line of the above command, remove the :80.
Thanks dude, it is activated now.. Thanks a lot…
Hello Izhar,
Glad it has worked for you.
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.
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?
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……
can some one fine a new key for me which will work, and which doesn’t have an validity issue…..
Hello haseeb,
really? mine did not give me a six month validity, well i guess you might want to refresh it to know if it’ll work well this time
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
You will need to wait a little bit, restart your system and retry it.
it shows ur command prompt disabled by administrator..what to do???
Hello Aravind,
you will have to open it using administrative privilege
so i have tried the above mentioned and it doesnt work…..keeps saying that it cant contact the KMS any suggestions.
Hello Trizzcuitt,
what product are you running?
I got it to work on windows 8 pro retail but its good for only 6 months anyway to make that permanent.
Really! 6 month? well if that’s the case, you an re-activate it once your 6month is due. but normally it is beyond the 6month…
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
Hello fuego,
Tell us the product you’re using so we can better know the problem!
Product is Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation Build 9200
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.
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.
Try search for Windows 8 Professional Retail build 9200 to download it. it is what i am using and it will definitely work
I done this but my window showing product id not available.what its mean
because you did not follow the procedure accordingly. try it again

THE MICROSOFT WONDOWS IS NOT CORE ADDITION.. WHAT MEAN THAT……..
slmgr.vbs -ato is not recognized as internal or external command operable program or batch file.
this is the error showing after executing last instruction
using window 8 pro 9600 build
Hello shiv,
open the command prompt using administrative privilege so it will execute smoothly.
sir i am already opening command prompt as a administrator
but it still giving me this message ………
if the command doesn’t work for your windows 8 pro then you will have to migrate to windows 8 Professional. or simply use it with an activator that will definitely work for pro.

the only way i can see the image is if you upload it in a file sharing site
window script host
error:product key not found
i have seen the image, the problem you’re having is simple; remove the :80 in the third command and make sure you have internet connection enabled. because the image shows that it is not connected to the internet.

Hello jayant,
The problem comes from the third command. Do it again but this time remove the :80 and it must surely work. give it a try…
ok but i don’t understand remove the :80 what ………please briefly explain
This is the third command slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80 right? now what you’ll do is to remove the :80 so it should look like this slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org do you understand me now? but if you’re using windows 8 professional, no need for that

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
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.

Hello Akash,
Did you connect your pc to the internet before performing the operation?
mine worked ok all I done was copy and past all of it as one and it failed the first time then worked didn’t have to press enter just done it on its own
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 …?
Hello Marc,
As long as you repeat the process, it will definitely work for you over and over again
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 ????
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
Try the above trick and it will definitely work for you
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?
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.
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.
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 ….
Hello Marc,
you can simply unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscribe button!
Unsubscribe button???? Seems to me I am blind, where is it please. Subscribe button: ok i see that, but unsubscribe? Must be very well hidden. Thank you.
you can always see the unsubscribe button below you mail
Hay, dude. It’s not working for release preview.. I thought that it’s working. Sorry for the comment.. Have to enter a new product key.. My product key was expired.. 🙁
ok! why not use the product key here to activate it?
Please, can you give me an unexpired product key, or working 4th command for release preview? 1st, 2nd, 3rd commands are working…
Hello Nuwan,
The above commands will surely work for you…
it realy is genuine i was able to upgrade my windows 8 pro to pro with media center edition
You can now only get a free MCE key if you have a genuine Windows 8 product
i used you method and it all worked but when t started back up it still said windows is not activated. any help would be greatly appreciated.
i was on the internet too
Thanks man but this is only vaid till 07/29/2013………please help
hey i am using windows 8 build 8400 version. ur trick work on that version of windows
It’s not hard to find the final build 9400, you should upgrade to that.
Hi, question. Would this work for windows 7 as well?
Hello John,
Nope! it will not work. The reason why it will not work is because windows 7 requires an activator for it to be cracked…
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.
Hello David,
Glad the command worked for you. thanks for the comment too
but just 180 days though???
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

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.
Thank You soooooooooooo much. It works perfectly. Now my doubt is can I install updates? Can I use automatic updates?
yes! you can install updates and you can also activate the windows update

I have tried all keys and steps again but still it isn’t working.
Thanks if you can solve this problem!
Connect your pc to the internet and perform the command again.
It worked but the activation is not permanent, it says 180 days left, how do I permanently activate Windows 8, can you give me a link to an activator that will do it?
This trick worked like a charm !
Superb !
only for 6 months your copy of Windows 8 will stay activated, then its back to “Windows is not activated”
Last time it worked this time it is not please reply it is very important

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.
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.
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.
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

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

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…
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.
If it shows you the watermark, that means it has not been activated yet.
Sir

Hello Hakkeem,
try connect to the internet and if the problem persist, remove the :80 from the command and it work for you
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!

But the problem persists. Everything goes fine, but when i restart, it’s still not activated.
after typing the 4th line, is there any pop up i should get? I got none, hence, asked.

Then at slmgr/ipk (serial key): Error:0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069’ to display the error text.
Then at slmgr/skms it said: …service machine set … successfully. (:
Then at slmgr.vbs -ato: product not found
Without space… slmgr.vbs-ato: ‘slmgr.vbs-ato’ is not recognized…]
which of the windows 8 product do you run?
Windows 8 enterprise build 9200
that’s the problem of the key.
use the Enterprise key.
i got that problem too. i also using win 8 Enterprise. change the key it will work
Hello Josh,
The command does not make system shutdown or malfunction. So that’s a different problem from your pc
What should i do or can I do anything with it?
Open your command prompt using administrative privilege. That should work it
I was using windows 8 release preiev babanature say hello to my friend after kamut reproach me want the product key would be glad if you help ..
Its still working on 20 feb 2013 ! Thank you sir for your wonderful help ! Remember people to to use command prompt hit the windows key on your keyboad and the letter X at same time then go to
command prompt (Admin)….There are 2 choices,choose wisely.
3 steps r working ok, but 4th step not work its seen the error ” KMS not cotaced” if I use internet online or use kms activater pls help me.
Make sure you’re connected online and also make sure that you give your command admin privilege.
yes, I am online and I give command admin privilege, slmgr.vbs-ato not worked all time its say error no kms could be contacted. I m also use win8 activater but error is same.
Why would you use activator and command prompt all together. Well! when it says it can’t be contacted that means it can’t reach your internet connection.
but I m open other internet site & win8 also update
Thank you. Works OK, have you thought about a Batch file to automate the re-doing the procedure before expiry of 180 days say at 175 days for example. Just a thought!!!
4th step does work. It says “error no kms could be contacted”
But if you right click on computer is actully says that windows have activated
slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
this command is not working in cmd even in administrator why.. pls help me reach out
On the command, remove the :80 and try it again
thank u! it activated my W8 , and while i do why it show me it doesn’t work for microsoft windows non-core edition ! what does it mean!
It means what you see bro, but nobody have complained about what you just say so do please try it again
hello bro, I have done all the steps and restart my pc. but when i open the my computer’s properties it shows that “window is not activated”.
but
when I click on “view detail in windows activation” it shows “window is activated”. I can’t uderstand it. nd m not sure that my window is activated or not.
plz tell me how the messege ” window is activated” will show in my copmuter properties???…….. thanks alot.
To know if your windows is activated. look below at the right hand site of your desktop screen, if there is any water mark, then your windows is not activated but if there is not watermark, then it is activated.
there is water mark showing the msg “Go to pc setting to activate windows”. now tell me wht should i do????
Help Me !!! I am using window 8 Release preview Build 8400
I followed all the instructions but it did not work…

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
Pls Pls Pls Help I shall be very grateful to you….
Thanking you
Rohit
Hello Rohit,
The reason you see those errors is because you did not gave the command administrative privilege. Give it admin privilege and it will work fine and make sure your windows is connected to the internet
Sir I am also connected to the internet and press Win+x key from command prompt(admin)
But showing same error..
Please give me require solution
Thanking you
Rohit
When I write In Command Prompt(admin) “SLUI 3” there is open new window of window activation, and when i entered this key TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF Your Product key works! Continue when you are ready.Then I press Active. Showing me error
Code: 0xc004F013
Description: The Software Licensing determined that there is no permission to run the software..
Now What Can I do Please Help Me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Rohit
Have you ever used an activator before?
Many Many Thanks Boss
I have searched every where but my windows did not crack.
your code is very useful and now i have much enjoyed with Windows 8 .
Code is :— below
slmgr /upk
slmgr /ipk NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4
slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
slmgr.vbs -ato
Thanksssssssssssssss
Works best for me, I spend a lot of time looking for it ..Thanks
the last step dosen’t works… it says error code 0xc004F074
kms couldnot be contacted… and i was connected to internet also…
thanks boss…
now i am enjoying windowssssssss 8…
Yes I have to use activator bit didn’t work 🙁 🙁 🙁
If you have any solution So Please tell me
Thanks Rohit
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.
Boss, You are really simply superb.. thanks a lot.. it may use most of the people for those who are loving Windows 8….
hi friends i am also geting “kms service could be conected ” problame plz help me.. my pc conected to internet

slmgr /ipk NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4
aftr thisstep im having this error: 0xC004f025 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges.
pls hep me
Then you need to give it administrative privilege to work
but bro its only for 6 month………..i want life time window 8 validation……..what can i do?? suggests me…..my email id= nandanchatwithu@gmail.com
my possible errors:-
for step1:product key not found.
for step2:Error:0xC004F069 on a computer runng Microsoft windows non-core editionrun ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004F069 to display the error text
for step3:product not found
Open your command with admin privilege
sir already done
Sir the issue is same……plz help
what isues are you having? let’s solve it together
whenver i used first command………..it shows me an error “product key not found”
That is because you have not enabled the command to have admin privilege. Try to open your command with admin privilege and try to set your time GMT appropriately and also make sure you have internet connection enabled…
should i download the windows 8 first ??
cuz i have windows 7 !! and i need windows 8 !! so what should i do ??!
steps ?
yes you need to download windows 8 first
Hi it worked!
Sir is this lifetime or is it also like a 90 day trial?
for step1:product key not found.
for step2:Error:0xC004F069 on a computer runng Microsoft windows non-core editionrun ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004F069 to display the error text
for step3:product not found –
Make sure you give your command admin privilege and it will work fine
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”.
Nice tips bro… keep it up
hey bro u not replied me?? i hv just 6 month activation…what can i do…plzzzzzz suggest me
You don’t need to do anything, just wait and after the 6 month, re-apply it again
You can’t follow the same procedure again…
have you tried it before?
Hi this is not woking for me the only thing that dissappeared is the time portion it still says evaluation an 9200 at the bottom also the product keys given do not work
I am doing all command but it’s not reply after 2 steps what should I do?

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.
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
have you tried setting your time to the perfect GMT ?
I have this error code: 0xC004F074
Can’t contact KMS server, so can’t activate my pc….
can you help me to solve it?
Thanks
check if your GMT (time zone) is correct and try again
I have the time zone Cairo, and my version is Windows 8 pro….
Will that be a matter with a non-English version?
Thanks
Dear Babanature
I am having the same problem as nitin on the serial key,I cant find any new serial key
use the one i dropped in the step or search the comment for more keys dropped by a commentator. thanks
Everything else works except step 4. Tried “slmgr.vbs -ato” and “slmgr.vbs/ato” it gives me the message where the KMS could not be contacted. N please dont tell me my internet is not connected otherwise how am I able to send this message?
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/708/39957401.jpg/
check if your GMT (time zone) is correct and try again
Yes its correct
Then tell me what version of windows do you use!
Well as you can see from the screen shot I posted, Windows 8 Pro Build 9200
i am also having the same prob like David. i checked my GMT also its correct pls help me to activate it….
am using windows 8 pro build 9200 32bit
Raja look at the second last post that Ernie left. Try using one of those KMS. “walkercorps.zapto.org” worked for me…so give it a try dude! 😉
Dear Friends,

hi babanature
how can i undo the slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80
beacause i am faceing some problems
just use the first step only and it will remove it
I have tried all the four steps but in the last step it gets screwed up Kms server could not be contacted even though I am connected to Internet and my gmt is correct I am using windows 8 pro build 9200 .
Sir please help me
Some users used this same trick to activate their windows 8 pro so maybe if you put a little work in it, it will work… please read the comment to see more tips
i just activated my win 8 pro.
i think the problem is on the KMS server, so we can still use thses

slmgr /skms lunar21.no-ip.org:80

Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run
‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069’ to display the error text.
Hi babanature,
I have tried the above method and I am getting this error on entering the second line(that contains key). As for as I am thinking its due to this key is for some other windows version.. Can you please help me ???Thanks in Advance.
Hello Nadeem,
The reason you are getting error is because you did not open with admin privilege. try running the command with admin privilege
I did open the command prompt with admin priviliages. And I also read most of the above comments before posting my problem. But nothing helped me yet. Thanks for you quick reply.
I have used the key you mentioned in the steps, is that the problem??
i don’t think that’s the problem. the key is working fine on all version except for some who uses pro
Sorry , But that didn’t work for me I am getting the same error… 🙁
Great work bro…..well done.
The first procedure doesn’t work for me, it says. “Product key not found” What am I supposed to do? I’ve been trying to activate my windows 8 for weeks!! I cannot find a suitable solution for my problem. Please help me! 🙁
You have not find solution because you do not follow instructions. try open your command using admin privilege
hi babanature
my win 8 is activated but it says “your license to use windows expire on 3-sep-
