    Hello,

    As we know, putting ei.cfg in Windows 8.1 ISO will skip entering product key, and we use different files for Enterprise (VL Supported) ISO and Pro WMC (Retail) ISO like this:

    for Enterprise:
    Code:
    [Channel]
Volume

[VL]
1
    for ProWMC
    Code:
    [Channel]
Retail

[VL]
0
    If our WIM contains both Enterprise and ProWMC editions, which ei.cfg we should choose to skip product key entering in both setups?

    Regards,

    I always use the same for all 8.1 and 10 AIO ISOs:
    Code:
    [Channel]
_Default
[VL]
0
    As far as i tested, 8.1 takes almost all configurations:)

    A KMS solution like KMS_VL_ALL will insert the needed gVLK anyway, key is leading.

    whether it's one or the other, entering product key wil be skipped for both.
