    I tested explorer-ppdlic_b7989 now in VM.
    workes (of course), remains activated, udates work (tested with otherwise failing KB2768703)
    only applied (ilc) the xrm. nothing in addition.

    But MAYBE, M-A-Y-B-E, you can be right... :))
    ...maybe LicenseID can be less important than a fact , that file is from Beta build, maybe the Beta sign is marked there somewhere
    ...but I don't know

    ...could you test b7959?
    ...the file was provided here before me...

    so, as ace2 said, only 7600 file works properly.
    Can somebody share x86 7600 file?
    I will test it in VM and update my cmd file to support x86 and two files

    7600 is just w7, i guess you have a version anywhere. ;)
    interessting, same build has different XRM for the systems? hm.... I wanna take a look at the both versions in direct compare.

    I'm very/pretty sure there is no beta flag or something.

    I have no x86 iso (I have removed a lot since I use Debian as my primary OS).... however, i have 7 starter x86 VM. I guess I can get that file from there.

    sure that /ipk is needed? (also relates to cmd from hb860)
    - if you have to reactivate?
    btw: didn't need reactivation (in september I only tested unactivated)

    hb860
    I don't like the cmds (style)
    cd /d commmand and so on... hate ^^
    "reg add" is better than 2 reg files
    what does ele.exe do?

    moderate
    why the ver command in cmd?
    hardcoded paths? wtf? ;)


    trigger the changes run this command after ilc - but wait till tokens.dat is free again!
    than with the next restart all changes should be applied.
    (maybe some 'more' loop or fixed timeout recommended)

    Code:
    schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\SvcRestartTask"

    In W8 Systempolicies become a major part.
    In the RTM file Metro is forced by this file as a Systempolicy.
    If you set the right Value to 0 (not forcing) than Windows loads into Desktop.

    Therefore I programmed Bypass Modnern UI whcih works little different, because of license reasons.
    The 'new' (my initially methode) is to overwrite the polcy with one from another build without the value.

    ilc installs the other license into the tokens.dat which is manages by spp and manages your lincense what is allowed and what isn't.

    Windows 8 Activated Already slmgr.vbs /ipk Not needed with:

    slmgr.vbs /skms win8kms4.mooo.com
    slmgr.vbs /ato
    slmgr.vbs /ckms

    AS Key/Serial number is untouched by explorer-ppdlic.

    Windows 8 Unactivated Will needed:

    slmgr.vbs /ipk
    slmgr.vbs /skms win8kms4.mooo.com
    slmgr.vbs /ato
    slmgr.vbs /ckms

    IF Key/Serial Input was Skip when installing windows 8 or IF Default Key/Serial was used as it is Blocked by microsoft.

    @hb860 __wrapper IS using microsoft to Activate windows 8.

    To be honest I wouldn't provide any typ of activation if you're running some official website.
