Doesnt matter what version you use i think - as the installed version is now determined by the key you enter. When installing DO NOT enter a key and UNTICK "Activate online automatically". When install is complete , use the following steps.
1. Copy and paste ******.XRM-MS certificate file into C-Drive.
2. After pasting this file into C-Drive, go to START - ALL PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - COMMAND PROMPT. Right click on Command Prompt and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
3. When Command Prompt opens, type at the prompt: slmgr.vbs -ilc c:\hp.xrm-ms and hit the Enter Button. Wait for the Script Host to answer you with a message that the license was installed successfully....this could take a few minutes and so be patient.
4. After receiving the message that the license was installed successfully, type at the command prompt: slmgr.vbs -ipk 22TKD-F8XX6-YG69F-9M66D-PMJBM (leaked ultimate oem key).Be Patient and wait for the message to say that the Product Key was sucessfully installed. After it says successfully installed, reboot the computer.
5. When you are back at your desktop, go to START - COMPUTER - right click on Computer and choose PROPERTIES and see if it is activated with an OEM product ID.
The answer to your second question is yes , although at the moment there is only 1 leaked key , but more will leak that will be brand specific once windows is publicly released.
3) The Key WILL BE blacklisted by Microsoft , but currently still activates fine. Also , please check the News And Announcements forum , ive just made a post relating to this which is quite interesting.
