Dunno about S Mode, sounds scary if it is so persistent. Yes, the firmware key matters when clean installing, as Setup reads it and acts accordingly. But outside of clean install, that key is dormant and doesn't do anything by itself. From what I know, you cannot upgrade from non-LTSC to LTSC and vice versa without doing some trickery. Both are different branches and on different media.
What are the installation keys for Embedded 8.0 Industry Pro and Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro? I don't want to destroy the original ISO. Embedded 8.0/8.1 Pro cannot skip input key!
In your case I would use the generic serial that MS gives away, for 8.0/8.1, for installing purposes (search for it). Then when you get to the desktop, permanently activate it with MAS.
8.1 Industry with update series (pro/ent) does not require entering a key during installation. cn_windows_embedded_8.1_industry_pro_with_update_x64_dvd_6052079.iso Spoiler But does the 8.1 Industry Pro RTM version require entering a key during installation? en_windows_embedded_8_1_industry_pro_x64_dvd_2707203.iso

Where are the files stored after using TSforge/dump in each system? Mainly targeting the retail versions of Windows 8/8.1/2012/2012 r2 and its derivatives, as the retail version cannot skip entering the key at all. Many users are unwilling to modify ISO HASH in order to maintain its integrity!
If just running "tsforge.exe /dump", its stored as dump.dat in the current directory. You can also extract \Windows\spp\store\data.dat (8.0/2012) or \Windows\spp\store\2.0\data.dat (8.1/2012 R2) from install.wim and use "tsforge.exe /dump out_decrypted.dat data.dat" to decrypt it. Usually the data.dat obtained by this method contains some default keys.
See if one of these keys work: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...microsoft-products.28669/page-273#post-792313
Where is dump.dat located on drive C? I am looking for retail keys for the following two products: en_windows_embedded_8_industry_pro_x86_dvd_1966344.iso en_windows_embedded_8_standard_image_builder_wizard_x86_dvd_1791542.iso
Nope , only after upgrade ( aka 23h2 => 24h2 ) better use first hwid for windows 10/11 , and use ohook for office 2013/16/19/21/24 or 365 and use tsforge for esu update unlocked or legacy os ( lower than windows 10 )
The MAS team also stated that TsForge has a relatively high probability of failure after changes in system functions, including online updates (whether active or passive) Is true??
