Client licenses get installed on Client only, Embedded on Embedded, Server on Server regardless the update contents why do you think Server will need POS ESU licenses? if they decided to "extend" it, it already have Year5 & Year6 licenses
I was thinking about a way to force-install upcoming POSReady updates onto 2008 R2 What about retrieving those licenses from a W7 install and manually copying over to 2008 R2 ? Edit : in the end we probably have to wait for February patches anyway to do any testing
They won't change the updates, they will be installable onto 2008 R2 the updates will check for Server Year 5/6 licenses and keys similar to how 2023-02+ updates check for Client Year 4/5/6 licenses and keys (which are not soled)
Thank you & all others who have labored to allow us to update & stay safe after being abandoned by M$. Beyond that, thank you for your tremendous patience in answering the same questions over & over, even years after they were first asked & answered. History & personal research would seem to be a lost art today. Siri has replaced thinking for a generation plus now. ;>( Thank you very much for all of us too stubborn to surrender to the M$ greed/spy machine. ;>)
Maybe NT6.0 will have their CSA updates, like Server 2003 after 2015.07? Refer to https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...e-urls-dump-inc-custom-support-updates.83367/
I summon Abbodi1406 to this thread. Gentlemen, do I understand correctly that the update for Windows 7 - "dawg is died", no more waiting? What I'm asking is, can I now tear down all the Bypasses and patchers and install Windows 10?
You are of free to install whichever OS you like. Have you considered Windows XP? I have not heard anything bad about in years...
Suppressor will continue to work i don't think they will change the updates themselves (.mum files) to block non-Embedded
Firefox 115 ESR ends Sep 2024 Maxthon (chromium based) continues to support Win7 & older like XP. It is also current & actively developed & updated. Its origin is Chinese if that is an issue. Most others have or will soon end Win7 support.Use your fav search engine or use the link kindly provided by @alzcoew397 .
No updates with the 2008 server patched ESU today, as expected. Ran the ESU patcher again, choose option 1 to change to the Win 7 Embedded option, rebooted, checked for updates and 3 appeared. Ignored an old one from 2016, installed the other 2 new ones and all good. Thanks again!
Today's updates installed smoothly so it's a good sign we can continue with the rest. Finger's crossed.
