Solved Windows 8 seems to be activating over and over

Two problems really.

1. Maybe I've never noticed it before but all of a sudden I keep seeing the popup for windows 8 activating again. Just seems strange that it would be trying to activate again even though it shows activated on 6/23/2013.

2. This problem is a little different. Different computer but activation problems again. My laptop for some reason last week kept asking me to reactivate over and over again. It would say successful and then I would go look and it was needing activation when I checked. It did this 4 or 5 times and it currently says activated. This one says activated 2/19/2013

These are both Windows 8 Enterprise from my MSDN.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Josh

For each computer....

Please open an Elevated Command Prompt window (in Start, type 'Command' - a Command Prompt icon will appear, right-click on it, and select Run as Administrator)
At the Prompt, type

Licensingdiag.exe -report %userprofile%\desktop\report.txt -log %userprofile%\desktop\repfiles.cab

(note the spaces!)
two files will be put on your desktop -
open the 'report.txt' file in Notepad, and copy/paste the results to your response - you can ignore the repfiles.cab file for the moment, as it's only backup data

There's nothing obviously wrong in the report - I see it's an MAK Enterprise license (which makes sense, with it being MSDN).


I assume the system had already re-activated when you ran it?
Keep the instructions handy, and try running it again prior to the re-activation next time.
Are you using the same Key on multiple computers concurrently?

Thanks for taking a look at it. It's been stable since I posted this (go figure).

I am using it on multiple systems as only one Enterprise key is assigned. Mostly VM's that I bring up and down.

Not a lot though. Probably 6 or 7. That's never been a problem before.

It shouldn't be a problem - but Win8 has some strange wrinkles that I haven't got to grips with, yet!

No problem - post back if/when it rears its ugly head again :)
