Some additional details about Ratiborus's VM: As many have noted, it's a Windows 7 Professional VM with a Windows 8.1 KMS host product key. To get to a Command Prompt inside the VM, type the (unlisted) command "cmd" without the quotes at the menu prompt. The command line used to launch qemu: Code: qemu-system-x86_64.exe -vga cirrus -serial none -parallel none -display sdl -smbios type=1,manufacturer=Intel,version=1.01234,uuid=564d81c6-cd3a-d8e4-db29-756df139acb9 -uuid 564d81c6-cd3a-d8e4-db29-756df139acb9 -m 256 -localtime -hda Bios\KMSmicro.rom -name "KMSmicro Console TAP" -M pc -L Bios -net nic,macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:03,vlan=0 -net "tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap1" -rtc base=localtime,clock=host -nodefconfig -no-user-config -no-hpet -no-fd-bootchk -no-quit This suggests: * Hardware UUID: 564d81c6-cd3a-d8e4-db29-756df139acb9 * MAC address: 001122334403 The format of the harddisk image (KMSmicro.rom) is qcow2. Note about the UUID: different virtualization products mangle the UUID differently inside the VM. You may have to reverse the order of some of the digits if you want to recreate this VM in a product other than QEmu.
That is Alpha version. For something as important as compression software, I won't install an Alpha version.
only labelled "alpha" I have been using it without fail since it was released. your choice .... now back on topic
I updated 7zip to 9.3 64 and still get this when trying to extract the archive. --------------------------- 7-Zip --------------------------- Can not open file 'C:\SoftwareProtectionPlatform (2).rar' as archive --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
If you have already installed office 2013 kms host pack then use that old kms host key for off2013 using /ipk..... OR first restore restore old win7+off2010+off2013 tokens & then replace tokens with new one & /ipk off 2013 host key
Good idea, I didn't think of messing around with the Office 2013 host key. It might help. This could turn out to be an issue. I will try WES7 later. Yes.
