After sunset of GMS 1.4, I'm happy for GM 8.1 is still working fine.
but I also remember GM 8.0 is unable to activate after its sunset.
I'm scared about it will happen to GM 8.1 again.

is anyone have will to try reactivate GM 8.1?
I have licenses of GMS1 and GMS2, but my game is almost done in GM 8.1 so I planned both engine and contents update after release.
please help to solve my little curiosity.

GMS 1.4 can still be activated after sunset, it's not like you need to uninstall it (in fact its support ended on Tuesday, and it's still working, and will even get an last update after that time).
Nothing should change for 8.1, but I'm recommending switching to newest ones (I've got a game ported from 5.0, so it's still possible with some code changes).

It should still be possible to activate 8.1 if you have a legitimate key from an older purchase, as the registration system for that is operated by YoYo and still alive. The reason 7.0 and 8.0 can't be activated is because they use Softwrap, which was made by a third-party vendor that has gone out of business.
