Some musings about Skype, Teams ,Lync, System Center, working as a Microsoft Certified Trainer and Microsoft and other products in general. My Zulu nickname is Ufudu - tortoise. I am older and wiser now, but still look like Ufudu. Technology, the Hare, moves a lot quicker though, and this is my attempt to beat that Hare... Rob Edwards
I decided to install Windows 8 Enterprise soon after it was released. The install was painless, but activating turned out to be a bit of a pain to say the least.
To activate you have 2 options. You can use either use the command line or the gui.
To use the command line, open a command line and type in the following:
slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
to get to the run command use the windows key combination : Windows key + R
Using the gui:
use the key combination described above and type in :
slui.exe 3
and you get the following dialogue box which makes it easy to activate your copy of Windows 8
Hope that helps!
