    Office on Windows 7 is managed by osppsvc, which is an entirely separate implementation of SPP. We have found the physical store location in the registry, but more work needs to be done to figure out the data format. We plan to include it, but it is not likely to be included soon.

    Has anyone had success using tsforge to activate ESU on an ARM version of Windows 10? I have an HP Envy X2 with snapdragon CPU. It is currently running Windows 10 Pro. All attempts to activate ESU result in an error and the suggested fix has not worked.

    Thank you so much for your excellent work!

    I'm running into a problem where I'm unable to activate 2008(non-R2) ESU. I've applied all available updates from Windows Update, and also installed the latest Servicing Stack Updates (SSU) and ESU preparation packages (KB5050682, KB4538484, KB5016891). After running tsforge /zcid using the pre-release build of Longhorn, the output is "No applicable activation IDs found." As a result, I cannot activate ESU.

    Could you please assist me in troubleshooting this issue?

    It seems I need an ESU MAK key for this to work properly. That's probably almost impossible to find.

    TSforge only supports Windows Server 2008 R2 and later.

    TSforge on Vista has the least support, it can only activate the base OS and any addons for which product keys are already available.
