s1ave77 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 No way on Enterprise. It's not like you're adding just any feature, ProWMC is a SKU Upgrade with it's own license. Edition matrix only allows Pro >> ProWMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will not be able to upgrade, because the Windows 8.1 enterprise license is volume, while windows 8.1 WMC is a retail license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apgupta Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Oh . This means even win8.1PRO volume can't be upgraded but Retail win8.1 PRO can be , Isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the default way . There is the option to create a ProWMC index by dism set-edition Pro to ProWMC. Together with some generic activation tokens (i still have them here) injected to the WIM it can be indeed activated with the key you got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello s1ave77 kindly help me doing that what you mentioned just now as I do not understand the windows commands and what they mean.Kindly send me the steps and tokens. Also Can a MAK key meant for win8.1 Pro Volume as well as win8.1 Enterprise activate a Retail one? If so then it can be straight away upgraded by WMC Retail Key? Just curious to know. Also using your method, can it be done in win8.1 pro volume version or I have to download a Retail one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apgupta Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 I need a little clarification:- Also November_rain twitter says on November 8th post : ==================================== Windows 8.1 PRO / ENT Phone Activation MAK Keys ** Windows 8.1 PRO / ENT Mak Keys Activate Both PRO & ENTERPRISE Edition Compatible to Upgrade WMC Edition.! ** Product Key(s)---------------------------------Remaining Activation Counts slmgr.vbs -ipk -29WK3 Windows 8.1 PRO Phone Activation OEM/RETAIL Keys what does he mean by saying ….Compatible to Upgrade WMC Edition.! ? as we see above line? I was confused by that line. I thought that activated pro or Ent version by MAK keys could now be upgraded to add the MCE feature by inserting WMC Retail Key. That seemed logical-If a company having already purchased volume versions want to add MCE by purchasing WMC retail keys should be allowed to do so.
