Microsoft mistakenly gifts free Windows 8 activation key to “pirates”!
Microsoft Windows 8 final copy was first leaked back in early August, and since that “pirates” have tried to do everything to work around Microsoft’s activation technology. “Pirates” was able to figure out work around via Key Management Services(KMS), but it only activated Windows 8 for 180 days. Now there seems to be way to activate Windows 8 for free and without time stamp.
It all comes back to Microsoft, they’re giving away a Media Center upgrades for Windows 8 Pro users until January 31st, and the “pirates” have found out that the key provided will fully activate Windows 8 that was previously activated through KMS. This means that “pirates” can now download illegitimate Windows 8 version, activate it through KMS and then upgrade it to fully activated Windows 8 version, all thanks to Microsoft’s Media Center upgrade offer.
