I have installed Windows 8 Enterprise on that date when WZT released it & activated it by the first KMS server. Today I was making a portable edition of AIDA64 & accidentally discovered a second serial under Software -> Licenses -> Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.10.9200.16384. It is different from the serial of the Windows itself whereas for previous editions of Windows, IE has the same serial of the OS. Code: Product Key : XXXXX-FNPQD-WR76V-FBYR7-PDG4W Validity : Valid Product ID : 10005-40010-00023-AA851 Activation ID : 23505d51-32d6-41f0-8ca7-e78ad0f16e71 Edition Type : Starter Description : Win Next Starter Retail Edition ID : X17-37458 Key Type : Retail Crypto ID : 100054 Interestingly, if I use CODY's toolkit -> Windows -> Product Keys -> Show registry, none but the default GVLK is detected.
No no.. IE always has its separate serial. But its same as the serial of the OS itself. But in case of 8, IE & the OS itself use different serials.
Tito check license report, run cmd and enter Code: Licensingdiag.exe -report %userprofile%\desktop\report.txt -log %userprofile%\desktop\repfiles.cab Does that key show in the reportl?

New finding If one has KMS activated Pro & he/she upgrades to ProWMC, then OS serial is changed to WMC serial but IE serial remains the previous KMS one.
