    hi all! Can you help me? Yes? Thx!

    on work I need to do the pure windows 8(SL and Pro) with automatically detects the OEM: DM key. And i make Windows 8 AIO from mdsn pro and CoreSingleLanguage (x86x64), add ei.cfg ([Channel]OEM). All good, i copy aio to usb-flash, boot usb uefi (on notebook with oem windows 8 sl), choose 8 sl, install, but in the end install, windows ask me key.

    why automatically not detects the OEM: DM key?

    ps. when i deleted ei.cfg and in start instaling appeared window with error about impossible to find a key.

    psps Sorry my english, help me russian)

    OEM Keys are in the BIOS of the computer and that only if that computer was delivered with Factory installed Windows 8. You could not use the Key on any other computer.

    you not understand me. i know what edition of Windows i must install and when i install,for example, windows 8 sl on notebook(where Factory installed Windows 8 Sl) with original install.wim than all ok(automatically detects the OEM: DM key and then activate)
    when i add to orig. install.wim windows 8 pro and ei.cfg(or not) i get error("automatically not detects the OEM: DM key" or "in start instaling appeared window with error about impossible to find a key")

    i can upload
    Windows 8 Core Single Language x32(x86), but its RU Language ) where i must upload? if need

    Your Key is only good for that version it came for! If Core, then Core, if Core SL then Core SL, noting else!

    If you ad Pro to it, you'll have to have the pro Key as well or you have to bypass the OEM Activation as explained in some thread here at MDL!

    we speak about miscellaneous. i need create windows 8 aio (with sl and pro), where when i choose(if have ei.cfg) "that version it came for" then automatically detects the OEM: DM key. Understand me?

    example, i have notebook with factory windows 8 pro(OEM: DM key), i boot windows 8 aio , choose windows 8 pro (in dialog of version windows), installer detect key in rom and install windows.

    If you know everything, then I wonder why you came here and ask for help!

    Fact is that you want to use an OEM AND an Retail Version in the same AiO! Or am I wrong? If so than your explanation about you want to use on what machine, is wrong!
    • You have an legit OEM Version which came with your Laptop from Manufacturer;
    • that Laptop has an OEM Version with OEM Key pre-installed and the Product Key is in MSDN table of BIOS;
    • you want to create an Installation ISO (USB or DVD) as All in One for to install that OEM Version which is kind Core and also an Pro Version which would be retail;
    • or you also would like to place an Pro OEM Version in that AiO;
    Am I right so far?

    I'm not sure you could mix OEM and Retail in the same AiO, instead you could use 2 different install.wim files, if that is possible! And you'll need to use an special ei.cfg file because for one installation the OEM Key should be fount automatic and for the other version (Pro) you'll need to have to key in that Pro Product Key.

    Now sit down and start thinking again what you really want to do and start checking on the Internet, include Microsoft, that's possible. For me it seems that you have problem with that mix of the 2 versions: OEM and Pro!
