Can anybody explain the difference between these versions? *en_windows_8_x86 *en_windows_8_pro_vl_x86 *en_windows_8_pro_n_x86
vl = volume licensing n = no media player features kn = no media player features (Korean) http colon slash slash en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions
Guys how many Pro RTM ISOs are available? I know there is a VL version, N-VL version. Is there a non-VL and non-N-VL version for Windows 8 Pro RTM? If there is could You please give me the name of the ISO file? Also the checksums would be awesome too! Thanks in advance!
The VERY FIRST post in this thread has all of the information you are asking about. They are all listed.
Is KMS activation permanent or does it phone home to maintain activation automatically every 180 days?
So, I couldn't activate and then enter the key for WMS. Once the key for WMS is used, KMS activation wont work again in 180 days? Could I remove the key or uninstall WMS to reactivate via KMS every 180 days and then reinstall WMS and use the key again every 180 days? Is there an easier way?
You originally activate with kms that gives you 180 days, If you upgrade to WMC with the free key it activates your copy permanently so you don't need to do kms again in 180 days
So during installation I need to use the Pro key from the first page, and to KMS activate it I need the KMS Pro N key?
Helllo. I've downloaded the Enterprise x64 ISO using one of the links provided in the first post. Does this ISO require a key during installation? I don't see any keys provided for Enterprise in the first post among the other ones.
Excuse me but I really WISHED the first post in the thread has all the information he was asking. Because I was asking exactly the same question. The first post only listed Windows 8 RTM ISO for 32/64bit. But it does NOT mentioned that it contains both the core and Pro version. It does list the install key you can use but that does not help. When new comer sees Windows 8 RTM without the word "PRO" .... they will ask where is the "PRO" verison which is what 99% of them will be looking for. I don't mean no respect for the OP here .... just wish these kind of key information can be listed once and for all. I eventually find these information after searching for awhile and had to ask in another thread. Thanks to all the helpful members here. Cheers.
