• Download Sykpe Client from Miscrosoft Volume Licensing Service Center.
• From start menu, type "cmd" and right click "Run as Admin".
• Mount the downloaded ISO file, type "D:\setup.exe /admin" assuming the mounted ISO image has the drive name "D".

• Specify your company name

• Under "Licensing and user interface" select KMS if you have it on your premises, MAK if you have ordinary key distributed over Microsoft licensing site. Be sure to select accept box to skip License Agreement.

 

         If you want the installation to be in silent mode and installation should not be cancelled, select "Suppres modal" and "No cancel".

• Under "Remove previous installation" tab you can select if the setup removes previous versions or not.

• Under "Modify Setup properties" tab, enter "AUTO_ACTIVATE" with the value "1" in order to trigger auto activation.

• Save your work, extract the ISO file (you can use WinRar) and place the saved file under "updates" folder.
