Microsoft’s Windows 8 Pro Gaffe

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Microsoft seemed to have inadvertently given pirates a free path to get their hands on Windows 8 Pro. This came about through the free copy of the Windows Media Center upgrade that has been made available to users. Reports have it that one of the downside of this provision and the way it was made is that they upgrade could lead to people permanently activating Windows 8 on their systems.

Normally, before you can permanently activate the Windows 8, you will have to first of all so the upgrading. But pirates have found a crafty way of getting round this through Microsoft’s gaffe. They came to deduce that they could use the free Windows Media Center upgrade that has been made available to permanently activate the software when they combine it with Microsoft’s

Key Management Service or KMS. the KMS gives users a short access to Windows 8 by activating it for one hundred and eighty days. This was done with the intention of making it easy for IT administrators when deploying Windows 8 through their local area network. Clients using the KMS will have to renew their activation after the expiration of the 180 days.

But this is the point where they can make the Windows activation permanent without paying a dime for it. Reports have it that once this activation is done through KMS, you will have windows stating the date that it was activated and this actually means that the said activation has been made permanent. Then once the upgrade key has been installed, it simply replaces the temporary key of the existing product i.e. Windows 8. This is what windows will find if it wants to check whether the one hundred and eighty days is up. So it will recognize it as being permanent rather than being temporary.

As things stand, pirate servers that give out KMS activation keys already exist and unless Microsoft quickly does something to fix this the activations will become permanent.
