I am Having the same problem. I bought this laptop (Toshiba Satellite S55t-A5531) a while back from BJs Warehouse. It came with Windows 8.0 installed. I had a hard drive crash and was unable to boot the machine. I bought a new hard drive and installed it. The old drive was hosed so I got a CD for Windows 8.0 Pro from work and loaded that. I then had an online service fix things up so that Windows was the activated. He changed a key somewhere. All has been fine for the past 6 or 7 months. Now I am receiving the message that Windows will expire soon and I need to Activate it. The Activation page says it will expire on July 31, 2015. I ran your script and have the OEM and Installed Keys which are different. I also have a CD key that another keyfinder provided. Non of these are activating my version of Windows.
I have run your Windows Diagnostic tool and the report is below. ope you can help me.

It came with Windows 8.0 installed. I had a hard drive crash and was unable to boot the machine. I bought a new hard drive and installed it. The old drive was hosed so I got a CD for Windows 8.0 Pro from work and loaded that
There may be 2 problems mentioned, one is your version of Win8 Core being different from the Win8 Pro disc you borrowed. The other issue could be the "work" version is the Enterprise version and not intended for home use. The procedure on this page may be a solution, I did it yesterday on an OEM computer where the HDD had failed, worked good. I didn't know if the original was 8.0 or 8.1 and used the 8.1 version, shows as Activated in Properties of This PC. Just be sure to get the right version, either 32-bit or 64-bit.

This is your problem,

Code:
Active Sku Description: Windows(R) Operating System, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel

These folks used a volume license key,

I then had an online service fix things up so that Windows was the activated. He changed a key somewhere.

Which isn't legal for consumers.

I bought this laptop (Toshiba Satellite S55t-A5531) a while back from BJs Warehouse. It came with Windows 8.0 installed.

Directions had me delete all of my partitions.

The instructions have now been updated.

warning   Warning
Do not delete the partitions on your hard drive, if you have important files on your hard drive and you will not be able to backup your files.

- Select the partition on which Windows is installed (see screenshot below).
- Click on the "Next" button.



- You will receive the following message (see screenshot below): If the partition you've chosen contains files from a previous Windows installation, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You'll be able to access Windows.old, but you won't be able to use your previous version of Windows.

- Click on the "OK" button.
- The installation of Windows will begin.



Be sure to copy any files that you may want out of the Windows.old folder before you delete it.
