    Hi, I want to add an ei.cfg file to my sources folder containing my product key.
    Can someone give me an example of what I need to put in it.
    Thanks.

    ok, that looks good.
    But, where do I put the file? sources folder?
    Also I notice mention of winPE and amd64.
    Do I need to replace those entries with WIN8PRO and Intel64?

    Thanks everyone, I'm going to try the pid.txt method along with ei.cfg.
    I'll post back with results when I'm done.

    ei.cfg = uses default key without entering any key
    pid.txt = type in the default key than it's like ei.cfg / type in you're key than it becomes activated after install / it's like autounattend but only with pid entry.

    OK, I did a couple of win8 pro dvds today, the first a 32bit version in which I put in my own ei.cfg and pid.txt and that worked fine, no need to put in a serial.
    Next a 64bit in which I only added a pid.txt, that also installed fine with no need to put in a serial.
