    Hi guys,

    I tryied several times to implement a Key to my Unattended Edition and allways i got the same error:

     PRODUCTKEY.png

    When i use the normal and original ISO it works, but after i use winreducer 8.1 and include the Key in it, it does not working!​

    I based on this image: MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.RTM.X64-86.HEBREWN.DVD-WZT

    How can i solve this?

    Thanks!
    Rami

    Are you running on machine or VM?

    You just answered your own question matey.
    Don't "reduce" whatever it is that is blocking your key from being applied.

    I tried both. With the normal and the original CD i have NO problems at all.

    I really dont think i mess with the whatsoever product key.
    By the way- you have a better way to easy customize an unattended windows 8.1 instead of winreducer 8.1?

    Thank you all!

    Problem with those reducers: you don't know what it's doing exactly. Btw, what you're trying to reduce?

    seems to be a useless discussion here: you say that using the original iso, all works fine and after manipulating files you get problems .... guess what :D

    To get this clear, FaiKee already asked, but got no answer; is the screenshot from Virtual Machine or a real PC?

    You are customizing an already unattended edition of windows 8.1 and you have added windows 8.1 updates in it, So in autounattend.xml at the top see for the servicing packages section if there is disable/enabled packages entry then you need to change the windows 8.1 build string to match with the windows 8.1 updates one especially like the big update windows 8.1 Update 1 Packages.

    or else you can remove lines related to servicing packages part.

    In VMware this error will occur if :
    - Machine setup is not "I shall install OS late", and/or
    - User does not remove the floppy(doesn't matter if there is a disk inside).

    But since OP said he tried both, so it's probably the reducer thing. :p
