How To Change Your Key And Activate Windows 8 Enterprise

If you are having trouble activating Windows 8 it may be because you were never presented with an option to enter the key however these commands will help you change the Windows 8 Key. After installing Windows 8 Enterprise on my Dell 6500 I had an issue activating it which I found out happened to a few other people as well. What happens is I was never prompted to enter my key and the option to change the key was missing. After following this procedure Windows 8 Enterprise was successfully activated.

Right click the left hand corner of your Windows 8 screen and Click Command Prompt (Admin)

At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs -ipk <then type your product key>

Hit Enter on your keyboard, then type: slmgr.vbs -ato

That’s it and note that this should work on any edition of Windows 8 that you use.

Updated Option 

The SLUI 3 Command is another option
If you bring up the run command or a command prompt you can type in “SLUI 3″ and hit enter.

 You should see the Windows Activation box come up and ask you for a key. Put your Key in and Press Activate

After you hit Activate you will see the activating Windows Box come up

 After a few seconds, your copy of Windows 8 will be activated.
