    Ok but you didn't mention to me that we have to place mum and cat filed to the right places so that the conversion can be done successfully ? You didn't mention that fact

    Here are tips, we just didn't understand his meaning.
    Hint: People know mum/cat are necessary for cheating Windows and thus installing a package to other version. But they nevert know converting a SKU needs the cat being existent in C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}.

    here's what you said in one of your previous posts :

    Code:
    Well. There's easiest way:
    
    1. Export (original) Component Based Servicing.
    2. Replace all OtherEdition with EnterpriseSEdition. And save.
    3. Import (modified) Component Based Servicing.
    
    e.g. Change CoreEdition to EnterpriseSEdition.
    
    If other version, say 15063:
    
    Replace all
    
    OtherEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0
    
    with
    
    EnterpriseSEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0
    
    [Note] IMPORT the modified one - NOT delete the original and import the new - for Windows Update.
    
    As you can see, there is no mention of putting mum and cat certificates in the right place.

    yes i'm sure, i just mentionned the fact that it's not necessary for the conversion to be successfull to place mum and cat certificates in the right place as you told me to use an easy way to make the conversion happen easily without necessary placing mum and cat certificates in the right place as i showed you here :

    Code:
    Well. There's easiest way:
    
    1. Export (original) Component Based Servicing.
    2. Replace all OtherEdition with EnterpriseSEdition. And save.
    3. Import (modified) Component Based Servicing.
    
    e.g. Change CoreEdition to EnterpriseSEdition.
    
    If other version, say 15063:
    
    Replace all
    
    OtherEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0
    
    with
    
    EnterpriseSEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0
    
    [Note] IMPORT the modified one - NOT delete the original and import the new - for Windows Update.
    so i'm just saying that if you use this method to do the conversion, you don't need to add cat and mum certificates in the right place, do you confirm this ?

    yes i have already read this part and yes you told him to place mum and cat certificates so that the conversion is done successfully and after he's done it, the conversion was successfull but again, but in the method i showed you there is no mention of adding cat and mum files in the right place, you offered me an easy method to do the conversion which is here :

    Code:
    Well. There's easiest way:
    
    1. Export (original) Component Based Servicing.
    2. Replace all OtherEdition with EnterpriseSEdition. And save.
    3. Import (modified) Component Based Servicing.
    
    e.g. Change CoreEdition to EnterpriseSEdition.
    
    If other version, say 15063:
    
    Replace all
    
    OtherEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0
    
    with
    
    EnterpriseSEdition~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0
    
    [Note] IMPORT the modified one - NOT delete the original and import the new - for Windows Update.
    so as you can see, you didn't mention in this method, that you have to add mum and cat certificates in the right place.

    That's good OLD trick. Totally different. What I shared is:

    1. Install EnterpriseS certificates and key
    2. Modify registry entries
    3. Place relevant mum/cat files in appropriate places
    4. Restart

    And it is EnterpriseS - Real, not license switch. That's all about it. If It was no more the deepest secret in me, I 'd never talk about it.

    Yes. One takes time and risks, the other turns in minutes.

    Why is the upgrade method risky ?
