From home to pro-ws by key will do a real upgrade, from pro/edu/ent it will do a licenseswitch to Pro-WS.
And what keys are we talking about? I have been off this thread for a while, but previously my edition shows as not upgradable to anything....
If you're looking to get digital entitlement, then yes - you must use a RS3 build equal or older than 16281. But if you want to opt for KMS activation anyway, then you can do the same on post 16281 (like 16299) too.
Use a KMS activator, this: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...pro-and-office-2013.49686/page-76#post-838808
May I ask what's wrong with abbodi's kms activator? Maybe I'm missing something here... Because it isn't there.
The key can be used to either do a real upgrade from installed Home, or for license switch from pro/edu/ent. It can be HWID activated, but not by the key in the current product.ini but the one from 16257 and one or two builds up.
Once you have digital entitlement established on your rig, you can install any build (16299 included) and license still sticks.
Yes, of course, but it does NOT work for initial establishing of the HWID I wish somebody cleaned up this thread, with all info in fist post (and not all over the 27 pages)
