    Im not sure about what inculded in the iso's exactly.

    does they goes like this?
    Windows 8 = Core Retail + Core VL + Pro Retail + Pro VL
    Windows 8 Pro VL = Pro VL
    Windows 8 Enterprise = Enterprise VL

    or is it something else?

    But you can use a VL Serial in the normal Version too.

    Yes thats what i saw when trying now. the Windows 8 core+pro build accept both VL and Retail.. so that means my first post is right

    so, if we want all versions in our language we just need to have 1 windows 8 .iso and 1 windows enterprise .iso, right? since we can use the normal to have both retail or vl installation key

    Just to clear things up. The Enterprise Key works For Enterprise and Professional. But ProWMC doesnt. Core only accepts all keys but VLK's

    So, is it correct to say that when the ei.cfg is modified in Windows 8 (x64) - DVD (English) (en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso, 1CE53AD5F60419CF04A715CF3233F247E48BEEC4), the resultant image becomes Windows 8 Pro VL (x64) - DVD (English) (en_windows_8_pro_vl_x64_dvd_917699.iso, 6DDEDEBE40AB59CB11823F62F475C43C4053FE60)?

    If I have said anything wrong, please correct my mistake. :) I really want to know the difference between these 2 isos.
