    Iceland isn't in the EU and anyway they went bust during the banking crisis so probably need every penny they can get.

    Yeah I lose track of which are and are not. All EU countries do this now though. I have bought software from US to later get emails saying they had not collect vat. It applies to all imports over £18 in UK. I do not know how EU collects the vat though.

    Got all development done for UWP... eg. accessing registry hives without loading into registry (by using MS' own offreg.dll component) and working without Admin rights, yet still can't compile the Appx due to fullTrust permissions error...

    With all these random issues I'm not surprised the Store is not flourishing.... and MS Store support are nowhere to be seen!

    Hellava frustrating trying to trial-and error these things!

    That explains why so many major companies are jumping ship from the app store then

    Don't mean to stir up the pot, but it's another classic case where the bean-counters are trying to code.

    ShowKeyPlusUWP V1.1.7.0


    So as it turns out, the compile error was an easy fix... just a default that neded to be over-ridden in the manifest (only MS and approved vendors get FullTrust...) oh, well.

    Once it's installed further Appx's will install as an upgrade and separate certificate installation will no longer be necessary.
    
    Update:
    V1.1.1.0
    Correction: Loading hives is NOT fixed yet - even with the change from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_USERS (loading hives can only be done with elevation which is not allowed - need to implement an alternate method)
    - Removed elevation
    
    V1.1.2.0
    Fixed dll compile error.
    Signed Appx
    
    
    V1.1.7.0
    Fixed offline registry access (using offreg.dll) 
    - It will redirect to Regback folder with auto-discovery (forward arrow) - still need to update the title in the ''Retrieve Key'' dialog to that effect
    The config/SOFTWARE hive is owned by BUILTIN/Administrators which cannot be accessed by standard user - whereas the Regback/SOFTWARE hive is owned by System which can.

    Hi @Superfly

    Over on seven have a user who was gifted a comp on retirement
    From Windows 7 enterprise to a home version - Windows 7 Help Forums

    basically the company purchased batches of Dell comps slammed Enterprise on them, KMS .
    In this case they were shipped with W8. PRO

    Now the more interesting part for you
    According to the Mgadiag tool there is a slic table presesnt and the W8 marker
    (Which i would expect as they came with downgrade rights to W7)
    However when i asked her to run ShowkeyPlus v 1 0 6477
    Hoping to confirm it had the Dell Pro product keys embedded
    (dont know what it is tho -W8 Pro )
    It provides the standard OEM key output
    BUT the
    OEM version shows as invalid
