    for simple test purpose (smile), it is ok to use install keys, OldMX mentioned. A more convenient method might be to install a VL version because there is no need to type in any key during installation. Them having seen the show can easily delete/format the partition where test-8.1 was installed :D

    That is a patched version by a felow member, which is good i believe, but to discart any issue try a clean one from the repository, check the stickes at the top of the forum.

    CAN SLMGR.VBS -UPK HELP?
    Install windows with any key and then uninstall the key by that command.

    Isn't the idea to be able to install without a key? Besides, entering a non-legit key will either get rejected, or worse, blacklisted.

    Yes always nice to not have to use a Key, but does it really matter in the end when you have the key you need to install?
