    Don't know the order but it wasn't always there, i believe i forgot pro-education but did not test. In the past there was only pro <> ent.

    No-one said you could upgrade from pro > pro-ws by dism (online or offline), it's done by inserting the key for pro-ws, on a live system and offline by dism from Home and HomeSingleLanguage.

    But that would need to be done on a machines which does NOT have HWID already registered to a different version (ie Pro), right?
    Or follow this?

    That is what I said, (not any HWID present). So if HWID already exists (real hardware) then there is no way...

    Ideally FIRST post should be adjusted with that info!

    I just established a HWID for pro-ws on the vm which has a msdm for 8.1 pro and an established HWID for pro, it all worked.

    So this is what can be HWID activated:

    Home with a separate HWID for Home
    Pro, CSL, Cloud with a separate HWID for Pro
    Pro-WS and Pro-WS N with a separate HWID for Pro-WS

    Same for all N editions of the sku's shown above.

    And all can co-exist on one system.

    Why did MS leave out the F and the G in N designations? Surely they should read for example Home NFG instead of N? LOL

    so I take it if I go from a hwid pro 16299.15 pro to Pro-WS, it will not stay activated? I have never installed Pro-WS in the past.....

    Digitale Licentie isn't so different from Digital License ;) It's not like greece, russian or any other non western characters or purposly badly taken screens.

    QT is clear enough, me thinks.

    But lovely how you always like, falsified/incorrect claims ;)
