Mannlich Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Windows 8 MAKs are not supported in Windows 8.1 RTM. You'll need to wait to receive new MAKs through MSDN/VLSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkos Reed Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 MAKs are available on VLSC, I have 3 of them, however Enterprise VL SKUs are not available for download yet. What you can do however, is "downgrade" your Win8 Enterprise install via a registry trick + Win8Pro 'upgrade', then upgrade that Win8 Pro to Win8.1 Pro (works fine, I did it with my own keys and ISOs). All in All it takes 25 minutes on a fast machine. The only post upgrade tasks I had were : reinstalling my USB3 boost drivers from Asus, and reinstall the latest Catalysts, everything else stayed unchanged through the upgrades Zolotoy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolotoy Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks, but the thing is that I have already upgraded my W8 Ent to W8.1 Ent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost5525 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 What exactly are you wanting us to tell you? What are you aiming for? You have installed an OS that by all purposes doesn't have keys for it yet... particularly an Enterprise version that likely requires KMS or a MAK key that is only for enterprise clients. Maybe wait until keys are released or your work supports it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endbase Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have a legit windows Enterprise 8.0 key why won't that work on windows 8.1 on october the 17th there will be an update trough windows store will they provide me with another key then ? I have a technet subriction but i want to testdrive the Enterprise edition 8.1 right now so why wait untill they release the rtm version on technet if it's allready out there but with no key.

You will have to upgrade your volume license server to V6 when it's released. If you're looking for another way to activate Windows other than going through Microsoft this is not the place to discuss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endbase Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Oke got the point no worries I will stick to my opinion but will not discuss it here !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endbase Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Windows gonna release the Enterprise RTM 8.1 edition by the end of this month on Technet/MSDN channel so if you have an account there you can activate it http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2013/09/09/download-windows-8-1-rtm-visual-studio-2013-rc-and-windows-server-2012-r2-rtm-today.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted October 23, 2013 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2013 [Thread cleaned] If you're using an enterprise edition you need to contact your volume licensing manager for new keys. We do not allow posting of activation bypassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
