Working well Superfly.
This 4th one is an upgrade key, but doesn't seem to be any different when I check it. I just happen to know it's an upgrade key.

Thanx budette,
Yup, I have come across that before - the $14.99 keys that were sold were in fact full retail albeit sold as upgrade keys - the WMC keys were anytime upgrade though.

Looks good Cliff,
I noticed sometimes the AccentColor colour doesn't always work well with the standard (blue) link colours (which comes from HotTracking and Hilight) when one has the auto setting on.

BTW: Known bug - Dark-mode gets initiated when an error pop-up occurs.

Well I didn't get a full retail, because I tried to put it in a VM and it wouldn't activate. Call MS and they said it's an upgrade only, and required an existing OS first.

Correct, my bad

It's part of the EULA configuration...not the description.



The WAU is the important part - not sure what the numbers following it represent, probably clauses within the EULA.

Please see if you get similar output.

Okay so, I get the WAU for a MediaCenter Upgrade key, but the W8 key that won't activate in a VM (and MS tell me is an upgrade key only) doesn't seem to have that? Maybe the MS techs don't know what they're talking about - wouldn't be the first time!

Hello new here . I tried the sofware on my Windows 8.1 system that had been updated from 8.0 and it only showed the current key as being the media center one I got free and the previous one the cheap 8.0 key. I was hoping to see the 8.1 key but dont.. Any way to get it so dont have to to go thru the xp -> windows 8 -> 8.1 nonsense?

Hi @mercalia. welcome here.

Yup as Berton says, it depends how the upgrade was done. Basically if a Windows.old folder is created the old key that it relates to, gets saved as well - I can't recall exactly the anytime upgrade process with WMC but it should produce the Pro key from which WMC is upgraded from.

some additional stuff.

In response to @topgundcp testing/request here regarding the background looking enabled (when it's not), whilst a pop-up is displayed. Changed background to dim with transparency...



...Also now has extension of AccentColor to all borders - border-less seemed a bit odd anyway.

I think we are ready to rock-'n-roll with this one. Will upload to main repo later.
