urie Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 You can delete pid.txt in boot wim and alter one in sources folder then you don't need to enter key if you remove both you need to enter key in setup.
almighty Posted November 20, 2008 Author Posted November 20, 2008 ok urie,if i dont delete both PID.TXT then?do i need to change both PID.TXT or i need to change the key of source only?
ricktendo Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Delete pid.txt's and make a new iso without them, during install you will be prompted to enter key (you can use vLite to make it unattended)And if you dont want to delete them just change the key inside em Edited November 20, 2008 by ricktendo64
