Greetings. I have a little problem about activation Windows 8. The problem is that I can't see "current edition" on Windows Activation. I have tried to put all different product keys and I have done the CMD thing, but until I realized that my friend has current edition as Windows 8 Pro and about mine, it doesn't show anything, i can show you that from the picture belowLink Removed, so is there any way to activate it even I have Windows 8? Sorry about my bad English, but hope you understand what I meant. :upset:

I see from the last set of digits, that this is through KMS activation. As this is a third party server, you may have to keep trying as they could be buusy. But KMS service will not activate versions of the above software that were installed from OEM or retail versions of the installers.
