No Loader. A Loader is a BOOT Loader. There will be no such thing for Windows 8 but Daz may have a Genuine Activation Method.
Mhh I don't think so... He seems to think it's possible to do it on real machines too, and that's impossible with the uuid. Except when that can be spoofed on a real machine. But again, he's smarter than me as I can not think of any doable methods beside file tampering and kms, and the whole WARBIRD patching thing that's going on. And now I'm curious and speculating... Should unlearn that!
People shouldn't expect a loader or even for me to release what I have. Does it involve a UUID? Yes, and I've not yet tried without modifying the UUID as I don't have the time to test which is another reason why I say people shouldn't expect anything. I just don't have a lot of time to work on this stuff anymore. With Windows 7 the OEM channel was the cleanest method, but honestly for Windows 8 it's KMS. Plus although it seems a little hacky the Warbird stuff may lead to an easier to achieve activation method than OEM: DM, at least until MS release a WAT patch that checks things like your license channel against your installation date or other things a user could slip up on.
Thanks for that document, very useful to have the keys that work with OEM Activation 3.0 Would you have the key for Windows 8.1 with OEM Activation 3.0 ?
Thanks for that. I'm having problems with the activation of a Windows 8 Pro. I downloaded the official media for Windows 8 Pro : hxxp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/#FileId=50117 Installed it in a VM using the "Windows® 8 Default Product Keys to be used with OEM Activation 3.0"; for Windows 8 Pro it's ***. I then prepared it. I sysprep it using the OOBE and generalize options. Then capture it on my WDS server. When I deploy it, it never asks me for a key, but doesn't take/see the OEM key that is embedded in the UEFI bios. The *** stays on the system but it should have been deleted with the generalize option. In the unattend.xml file, I tried with the line "<ProductKey>***</ProductKey>" and I also tried with no <ProductKey> line at all. The outcoming is always the same and I end up with the *** key and not the embedded OEM key. What am I doing wrong ?
I told you not to ask !! The forum owner made his rules including NOT to post any kind of keys. Period
I don't believe you can configure installs to work that way. I think it has to modify the bios when the computer is initially configured for oemm. I could be wrong. I'm no oemm expert.
Edited. I don't see why the installation would need to modify the bios, it just as the read it. If I burn the .iso and lauch the installation from a DVD, it will read the bios and automatically take the key embedded in the bios.
