So another problem: in January 2014, many Windows users 8 activation failed, the computer began to reboot every 2 hours, etc. Here is the verbatim message: “Reinstall Windows 8 now. Your license to use this trial version of Windows has expired. After an hour, the computer will reboot and will continue to reboot every 2 hours. To prevent these interruptions, get latest version Windows" What to do in such a situation? how to activate Windows?

What to do if activation fails?
In this situation, each user must decide for himself: buy or acquire a license and use the operating system with a clear conscience; surf the Internet a little, download the Windows 8 activator, activate Windows and continue to use it with a guilty conscience. Actually, let’s go straight to the second option, since the majority will choose it.

"Updates" include maintenance updates, bugs and minor updates for current version Software.

To find out the current system activation period, use the command below. Since retail licenses for, say, home computers are activated on a perpetual basis, which will never expire, the command will be useful for commercial KMS organizations and servers. However, you can check the expiration date of your license to make sure it is permanent.

This allows you to transfer the license to another computer if necessary. For example, if you want to give old computer friend, but want to keep the license for yourself. However, as is known, Windows activation will be “tied” to the hardware of the computer on which it is installed, so it won’t be possible to just transfer it, but it is still possible, but that’s not about that now (that will be in the next articles).

No provisions contained in the Order Modules or any other commercial forms used by the User shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement, and such documentation prepared by the Contracting Parties has a purely administrative value without legal effect.
To delete license key, enter the following command into the command line:
However, the command does not remove the activation completely. Windows also stores the product key in the registry because this is sometimes necessary when setting up your computer and to prevent the key from being stolen malware that can access the registry. In addition, the future owner of the computer (if he is more or less computer savvy) can easily remove the key from the registry, so you must also be sure to remove it from the registry with the following command:

This can also be done in the Activation Settings screen in Computer Settings, but the following command allows you to do this from the command line:
slmgr.vbs /ipk #####-#####-#####-#####-#####

Activate Windows offline
To get the installation identifier (ID) for offline activation, run the following command:
Now you need to receive a system activation confirmation code by phone. Go to the official Microsoft Windows Activation Help page. Following the instructions given, call the Microsoft Product Activation Center (there is nothing wrong with that, you will follow the instructions of the robot) and provide the installation ID received above and you will receive an activation code (if everything is confirmed successfully). This may help you activate Windows system without an internet connection.
Instead of ACTIVATIONID, enter the activation ID. which you received:
slmgr.vbs /atp ACTIVATIONID
After that, to make sure that your OS is activated, you can use the following commands:
slmgr.vbs /dli or slmgr.vbs /dlv
How to extend activation
Let's take to example Windows 7, which has a 30-day trial period before it starts asking you for a product key. You can extend the trial period, i.e. reset this trial period back to 30 days by running the command below.
slmgr.vbs/Rearm
However, you will not be able to extend the trial period over and over again and indefinitely - the command can only be used a few times. If you want to know how many times, enter the command slmgr.vbs /dlv. I don’t remember exactly, but for each version, it seems, there is a different “number of times”. In Windows 7, if I'm not mistaken, 3 times, and 5 times on Windows Server 2008 R2. With the exception of Windows 10, the option works in all earlier versions.
Using Slmgr.vbs for remote computers
Typically Slmgr runs on the current computer, but you have the option remote administration computers on the network, if you have access to them. For example, the first command below applies to the current computer, and the second one applies to remote computer. You just need to know the Computer name, username and password.
slmgr.vbs /option
slmgr.vbs computername username password /option
With the Slmgr.vbs command, you can use other commands related to system activation. See Slmgr.vbs Parameters for more details.
