    Nice detailled steps! +1!
    But before trying your solution, I would like to test it first but with using Hyper-V, so I need to convert it back your .wim file to a .vhd file.
    I tried the Convert-Wim2VHD.ps1tool, without success...; I then would like to try the wim2vhd tool, but MS retired it from the web...so I'm stuck with your .wim image
    Any tip how to do that?

    “The process C:\Windows\system32\wlms\wlms-emb.exe (ASUS-074213) has initiated the restart of computer ASUS-074213 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Other (Planned)

    Reason Code: 0x80000000

    Shutdown Type: restart

    Comment: The license period for this installation of Windows has expired. The operating system is shutting down.”

    => or install windows 8 embedded standard and delete only wlms-emb.exe / use nsudo to remove wlms service

    Thank you Sir for your quick and helpfull answer.
    So I did follow your explanations, but choosed
    '\PID Key Checker\data\Emb 8\pkeyconfig_Windows_Embedded_8_Standard.xrm-ms'
    as the embedded directory seemed more appropriate than '\data\8.0'.
    Rebooted, checked 'slmgr /dvi' : still Activation needed.
    I then tested with the '\8.0' dir you mentionned, reboot, same result.
    Tried to launch 'PID Key Checker' but the Net Framework was'nt part of the choosen packages during install, so I may need to reinstall the OS with the NetFW and follow your steps again.
    Until that, thanks for your help. +1!

    Well, as I mentionned in previous post, I DID tested with this key too, I 'm afraid.
    BTW every pkeyconfig.xrm-ms key comes together with a pkeyconfig-CSVLK.xrm-ms key, shall these be copyied too?
    Plus, does a tool similar to 'PID Key Checker' exist, but doing the opposite: finding a xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx from a pkeyconfig.xrm-ms key ?

    From wikipedia:
    Windows Embedded 8 Industry is available in Pro, Pro Retail, and Enterprise editions.
    The Pro and Pro Retail editions are only available pre-installed on OEM devices, while the Enterprise edition is available through the volume licensing channel only.
    --> your key being OEM, maybe there is no-way to activate a STANDARD by fooling it to PRO on non-OEM hardware? I'm just asking.:confused: (yeah I'm noob in this stuff)
