Guide: How to Activate your Copy of Windows 8 or 8.1 with a Genuine License Key
Note: This guide does not provide any license keys.
Piracy Warning: Sharing License keys is strictly forbidden. As per Rules.
If you installed Windows 8 or 8.1 without your genuine license key(s), for whatever reason, and used the KMS Client volume setup keys as a temporary measure.
Trying to Activate Windows could be a problem if this error message occurs ( 0x8007232C ) - See how to resolve the issue.
There may be parts of the guide that can be seen elsewhere online. However, I thought this may be helpful to anyone who experienced a similar issue.
