How to Activate Windows 8

Windows 8 Activation through license key

Note: As I mentioned above, for the perfect working of this method, you will surely need an original license key that has been given to you in the time of purchase/download.
Step 1: On the desktop move your cursor over the right most corner (top or bottom) to pop out certain items including settings, start, search etc.
Step 2: Click on ‘Search’ icon and type ‘cmd’ in the box that appears. This lets you search for Command Prompt and once it comes within the results area, click on it.
Step 3: Then a Command Prompt window appears and you will have to type ‘slui 3′ (with space in between slui and 3) and press Enter.
Step 4: This will take you to the Windows Activation panel and within the ‘Product key’ box, enter your product/license key that we discussed earlier.
Step 5: Your Windows 8 will be activated as soon as you click the ‘Activate’ box below.
Note: If you are in trouble, then try checking your product key once again. If still not working, most probably your product key will be wrong or useless. You can always go for the second method and activate by downloading the Windows 8 activator.
