That link leads to this link: care.dlservice.microsoft.com/dl/download/5/3/C/53C31ED0-886C-4F81-9A38-F58CE4CE71E8/9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X86FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-HRM_CENA_X86FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO which includes "EVAL" in the link. So are you suggesting replacing one Enterprise Evaluation with another? What's the difference?

you do exactly what Tito said, CONVERT that eval to full. What the conversion does is, take the differences between the eval and msdn version and make a new file with exact hash as the msdn. Nobody, not even MS themselves can tell the difference as there will be no difference. You will need the delta (difference) patch and the eval to make the msdn image. Quite simple since the work was done for you in that thread, you simple need to run the tool to convert it.

BTOR has given you the links for the two patches, now you need the Eval to make the MSDN files with them.

 

CONVERT that eval to full, THIS is the CRACK.

 

I clicked the download link (12.2 MB) since I have 32-bit Windows. I next unrared the RAR file which produced a *.svf file. I'm not sure what to do next. I googled the file type and was told it stands for "simple vector file". To open that I was led to "Windows File Viewer" at windowsfileviewer.com but svf was not listed as one of the many types it opens so I'm not sure I should install it.

 

Thanks. I installed SmartVersion and plan to practice using it on small notepad files first. But since the purpose of the delta SVF file is to create an msdn ISO, I wonder if that will require activation per msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/cc137104.aspx: "Activation is required for certain products; generally in MSDN this is limited to Windows, Windows Server, Microsoft Office client applications, and Expression Studio. When activation is required, many products - including Windows and Office - allow you to install and use the product without activation for 30 days or more. If you re-image your computers frequently (i.e. once every 30 days), consider NOT activating the product. Product keys supplied as part of your MSDN subscription do not allow unlimited activations of a product."

 

You are changing an Eval copy into a non eval, MSDN iso. Think about what Smartversion will do, and there is the answer to your question.

 

I realize I will wind up with a non eval version. The question is whether non eval versions from msdn require activation.

 

of course it does
for activation just use MTK or KmsPico

 

I downloaded KMSpico v6 from the link in your signature and got Releasesv6.7z but when I try to unzip it with "7-zip v9.2" it asks for a password.

 

2013 is the pass

 

Thanks for the quick response. I finally got around to using the delta file and the Eval Enterprise ISO to create the msdn Enterprise ISO. I installed it to a blank hard drive. I'm not familiar with how msdn normally works after installation, but prior to activation, so before I go any further I'd like to know if this is normal:

Cannot log in to Windows with my "Microsoft Account"
The "Activate Now" notices include a comment to the effect "...Windows can't activate right now...try later..."
Cannot log in to the "Store".
Windows Activation says Current product key is *****-CWCK7

Other than that Windows works as usual for networking, internet, and updates.

 

You tried to activate a VL version against the MS Server, this won´t work . You´ll need KMSpico or MTK for that (both will emulate a KMS host, which is needed for that kind of activation).
