    im using the isos downloade from this topic
    The-Official-Windows-8-Repository

    this one Windows 8 RTM English Enterprise Eval, 32-bit (x86)


    and this one Windows 8 RTM English Enterprise Eval, 64-bit (x64)


    So what is needed on the ei.cfg to be able to install the all the editions included Enterprice Editions?.

    buddy, it will install but you have to edit/replace that ie.cfg file with this one

    ei.cfg file must have only these lines:

    it is because enterprise edition is volume license addition; [channel] is mentioned "Volume"
    further to accept Volume License Key(VLK) [VL] is mentioned 1. 1 is for acceptance and 0 is for rejection.

    Does anyone know why I dont get the enter key at all when I use the ei.cfg?
    Is it not possible to have both the option to enter a key aswell as an option to skip it?

    it has both option you mentioned. But with the ei.cfg, option to enter key or skip comes at the end of install like windows7 install. but page for entering cd key comes only for retail version and not for volume license version. for the volume license version of windows a default General Volume License Key(GVLK) (or KMS Client Key) is already integrated.

    if it is also for retail version then cd key has been integrated with each edition of the subject Win8 ISO.

    If that can be useful to kien_vip...

    To be able to replace the license.rtf file :

    Code:
    takeown /f C:\mount\Windows\System32\<lang>\Licenses\Volume\Enterprise /r /d o
    
    takeown /f C:\mount\Windows\System32\<lang>\Licenses\_Default\Enterprise /r /d o
    
    icacls C:\mount\Windows\System32\<lang>\Licenses\Volume\Enterprise /grant administrateurs:f /t
    
    icacls C:\mount\Windows\System32\<lang>\Licenses\_Default\Enterprise /grant administrateurs:f /t

    I created my own copy with 16 Windows 8 Versions,and also multilanguage EN-ITA-FR its on about 5 GB but it is worth the trouble,
    otherwise to have all those version you have to download on about 32GB.

    por que tenho que trocar o arquivo... ? o que foi modificado nele ?
    (Keeping the image mounted and viewing hidden files and folders take ownership of the data.dat file and then delete it in C:\win8\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\data.dat
    and replace with data.dat)
    why do I have to change the file ... ? what was it modified?
