Thanks Tito. I downloaded that already and it's the exact same which installed as Enterprise. I burned 5 DVD's with that ISO's from 3 location now: ALL the same = Enterprise, Size: 2,570,762KB OK, will try tomorrow morning again. Have now a total of 7 ISO's, all the same name and same size! Something's wrong there!
You are doing something wrong because that's impossible, en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso does not contain Enterprise. Check it against the Hash.. SHA-1 = 22D680EC53336BEE8A5B276A972CEBA104787F62 MD5 = 4252407333706DF89A0C654924DD3F06 Code: Image Index: 1 ------------------- Name:Windows 8 Pro Description:Windows 8 Pro Flags:Professional Files:61541 Folders:13011 Expanded Size:8029 MB Image Index: 2 ------------------- Name:Windows 8 Description:Windows 8 Flags:Core Files:61019 Folders:12934 Expanded Size:7992 MB
I checked now ALL Windows 8 Pro Retail x86 ISO files i have against the MD5 Checksum: ALL matching the Checksum posted at MD and MS. Still the same problem, with or without added WMC the installation end's up as Enterprise. Will now use an other Computer to re-check again and what happen. In real, I really get frustrated now!
After installing another 2 times using the same ISO but computer to burn the DVD, I was able to get an Good DVD now with integrated WMC on Windows 8 Pro x86. Maybe it were because of the Burn Apps, which may had keep the Enterprise in Memory and burned those instead of the selected ISO?! I use ImgBurn for burning on that PC. On the other PC I got now the good one, I use Gear Pro 8 Mastering Edition, the burning went OK. Installed on that old PC-Chips MB using the same WMC as on the other Computer, where I could activate 2 times using just a different HDD and a computer with same MB but Memory, VGA and HDD which I could activate too, I couldn't activate again using that WMC on that old MB. That said, seems to be possible that SOME hardware could be changed but all to be able to activate multiple times using the same WMC Key. That was just a test to find out some limitations.
* Offer valid from October 26, 2012, until January 31, 2013, and is limited to five licenses per customer per promotion. Five licenses per customer. In other words 5 activation allowed with 1 WMC. Is that correct?
You cannot use the same free WMP Product Key to install and run on multiple computers.The second computer will get deactivated.
So, you would tell me to know better what could be done on computers which are in my possession? Just for your information, and I don't mind you believe or not, I could run 2 with the same WMC Key activated computers at the same time using 2 different Internet connections. Even on the same network it's possible if there isn't a direct connection between those computers. That could be done while using 1 computer on the DHCP part and the other on DMZ! Don't forget that those 2 computers having the same Brand and Model MB and same AMD CPU, just differs in HDD (same brand and size), Memory( more) and VGA (older, same brand but type). I done that testing after I could do the 2. activation on the first computer using a different HDD which same Brand and size. The third computer I could not activate because everything were different Windows 8 32bit instead of 64bit Intel (PC-Chips P21G) MB instead of ASRock for AMD Intel P4 CPU instead of AMD CPU DDR1 Memory instead of DDR3 Build in Unichrome 3D VGA instead of Nvidia Seagte HDD instead of Hitiachi Even using to try to activate over a 3. ISP with 3G, MS declined those activation atemp. Said all that it shows that in some occasion it's possible to multi activate with the same WMC Key, in other not.
5 Licenses for 1 Customer Those 5 licenses for the same customers applies for the US$ 14.99 Upgrade and even not for the US$ 39.99 upgrade (that's not limited). If you use to claim the WMC Key from multiple E-Mail addresses, even if it's the same Domain, you get as much keys as you ordered as long as you didn't use the E-Mail Account Owner Name! I was try for 3 Key's from different e-mail addresses with the same domain and got 2 key's, missing 1 because in 2 of that accounts I'm the account owner. You could get as much keys as you have email account's with different account owner name.
@Mdc or @Chickenlittle, Thank you sirs, I also followed the above method and successfully patched and got as above with the following , File : 9200.16384.120725-1247_ProWMC_HRM_CCSA_X86FRE_EN-US_DVD.iso Size : 2666158080 bytes CRC-32 : 303E4A26 MD5 : 317CC0C8120B80394B0C868FC03574E6 SHA1 : 30B5CFDF3406C4E563D1F347A5412E6BDF154EB9 SHA256 : 724A52C810E877FD4D14E36889EFA0810C74C09B5789B43860BEAF513CCDBEE6 but not yet burn. What will be the next steps for a successful installation and then permanent activation of win 8 with ProWMC. Please reply as per below: (1) Burn the .iso to a bootable dvd for a multiboot installation(the method is known to me) (2) What Serial No. is to be inserted during installation ( I want win 8 ProWMC) (3) Whether requires activation- if so, then what method (KMS with cmd or otherwise) is to be adopted (4) Or this installation does not require activation at all; as because (5) I have got one free Key from MS, received by e-mailReply and help is eagerly solicited
If you'll use multiboot, I could not help you, I didn't use that. 2.: you have to use the WMC Key if asked on end of installation for the key; 3.: you'll get automatically activated if that key wasn't used before and it's an legit MS WMC Key; 4.: look 3. 5.: you didn't specify what key you got! If that's the WMC key, look at 2 & 3. The procedure is easy: boot from DVD or USB Drive if you use that; run the Setup, best is to use a clean install at end of install you'll be asked to provide the Product Key: use the WMC Key As Windows restart after finished the installation, and the key used is virgin, you should be activated already. Go to Desktop, open Windows Explorer (not IE), right click on Computer, chose Properties and you should see that Windows 8 ProWMC is activated already. If you than click on activation details you get further infos.
@pisthai, many many thanks for your prompt reply & guidance. In context of which I should clarify my mistake to use the confusing word "multiboot"; rather I want to say "dualboot" (with win-7 as the default boot & win-8 ProWMC) which is known to me. As advised I shall use a clean install and the Product Key (advised as "use the WMC Key) is received free from MS on request which may or may not be "virgin". Wish that should ultimately be proved some times later today or tomorrow when I finally use when asked by the installation (at the end of install -as guided). I shall make you known details of success after completion of installation. Untill then, thanking you in advance and to Sir MDC. mohitkumarsen @pisthai sir, & @MDC sir, Further to above, I installed to-day Win 8 ProWMC after 4(four) try. But I am sorry to say that the window is not activated. As advised I put the key ( free WMC key, as received through e-mail from MS) but window is not activated. Now, what to be done please advise. Thanking you in advance, mohitkumarsen
Cheers and thanks for sharing Can i use this patch on a danish win 8 pro iso? Or does it only work with english versions? Cheers guys you rock
