Yes finally at least you confirmed it "what i said before"... But pisthai's claim is totally different with stamp of hundreds of PC's but i am 1000% sure that With MSDN & Retail image its not possible...
this is the reason I asked pisthai upload his unique MSDN pro ISO by which we can also get the same experience
wait for the Unique MSDN pro ISO ( provided by microsoft to pisthai )which will ask the key later ...
I tried to uncover this several times already and was met with nothing but I've done it on several hundred machines blah, blah, and blah At least now we know What a monumental waste of time
Experiences can be different but same image cant give different results.... Except it or prove it, that would be learning for me..
Lol leave it mate . We know What is the original behavior of MSDN or Technet ISO . Whether we use DVD or USB Stick ( KEY ALWAYS ASKING FIRST BEFORE INSTALLATION ) Now please don't tell me that different company USB stick behaves different i.e sony pendrive asking key first ... ,Kingston asking later Etc .. thanks
Just for to get it clear: I'm now with remote on the Fileserver of my office and recalculate the original ISO. That will need a bit of time, will be done within an hour me think. But I'll use only one calculation SHA256 The Filename of that ISO is: Windows_8_US-en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso Calculation is started now. will get back soon.
mate no need to take pressure . Already posted by me the Details of this iso . from MSDN +TECHNET+MY HDD this iso always ask the key first nor later . We are asking to you post the ISO which is asking key later of installation nothing else . bye .
OK, the SHA256 Checksum is: f475d6dfd7f234f6bccee4a0e5feee3ad9b166edfa53190564b31ac00aaeafa9 That ISO is used for all installation since November 12. 2012 which I had downloaded on November 8. 2012, see picture.
