    Is there some use case for this, because I assume when you say receive it will still not be possible to install without real or simulated ESU license?

    322 pages about only enabling to receive the updates? No, this is about enabling to install ESU stage updates, manually or by WU.

    No need to be thick Enthousiast, I know the BypassESU works, I use it myself.
    I was asking abbodi1406 in the post right above mine what the use case for the registry keys he posted is:
    I tested it and it works, but it results in updates failing to install "reverting changes" as described in all MS KB articles in relation to ESU updates without a valid license.
    That was why I asked when he said that you can "recieve" Windows updates if there is some use case for that, obviously vs the current known bypass system.

    Then mention the post/txt you reply to, that was not clear, seen more weird posts lately;)

    I'd also like to understand the use case referred to by @hanzzon2 above.

    Hm ... seems to be part of AzureCheck.dll, too. I wonder whether this helps for .NET installers.

    I was able today to install KB5014748 with ESU Bypass V11 via WU. Seems that Microsoft has changed smth for that patch, because it also broke on me before.

    Hi guys, cant find answer, should the version of netframework change in the control panel (install/uninstall programs) after installing ESU updates?

    No, only service pack could change MSI product version

    but you can still change the display version manually
    e.g. for .NET 4.8 x64
    Code:
    set rev=4.8.04526
    set guid=16735AF7-1D8D-3681-94A5-C578A61EC832
    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{%guid%} /v DisplayVersion /d "%rev%" /f

    Its been awhile since I last used ESU bypass but I remember when enabling the .Net bypass it would break group policy on my homelab domain. Does this still happen or has this been fixed?

    It still happens, hence the advise to disable the .net bypass when not needed.

    Rollup KB5015861 (and SO KB5015862) contain ESU licenses and keys support for additional years 4/5/6
