"Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

    Hi I had to recover my SCCM media server from SQL and now having trouble to install Windows Update. When I deploy Windows Update, I can see status is "UKNOWEN".
    I feel like something to do with WSUS/SQL/SCCM media server syncing issue.. But I can't point out that trouble setting to fix it. I have checked and make sure, there is no proxy setting in IE and SUP.
    In the wsyscmgr.log is saying it is having syncing issue.

    Hi,
    I saw someone use the following steps to fix this issue.
    1. Unselect all Classisfications in SUP
    2. Run wsusutil reset
    3. Run another sync
    4. Add Classifications

  • Failed to sync update. Error The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted.

    SCCM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012.  The SUP is unable to sync updates and the wsyncmgr.log shows "Failed to sync update <guid>.  Error: The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted.
     Source: Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.DeserializeAndThrow."  I've seen several posts about this all over the web, but every one of those references a proxy server issue.  We do not have a proxy server,
    so those solutions don't apply.  Has anyone seen or resolved this issue when a proxy server is not involved?

    The event log showed that WSUS was trying to store updates in an old location.  I apparently had not configured WSUS properly after I moved the directory.  Running "wsusutil movecontent" and restarting the SQL Server instance for the remote DB
    fixed the problem.

  • The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted

    I have setup SCCM 2012 Sp1 on Server 2012 with WSUS using the internal database. When I sync updates in SCCM, I get the following error on some of the updates. I have run the sync 3 times over a day with the same updates failing
    "Error: The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted. Source: Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.DeserializeAndThrow"
    "Sync failed: Failed to sync some of the updates. Source: Microsoft.SystemsManagementServer.SoftwareUpdatesManagement.WsusSyncAction.WSyncAction.SyncUpdates"

    Not all of the updates are showing

    I have seen this several times and it's often just a timing issue with downloading the EULA's that will go away after a few days or can be caused by a proxy server not allowing the download. Do you have a proxy?

  • Adobe Illustrator appears as "installed and updated" on Creative Cloud but I cannot find the Application on my Computer (Windows)

    Creative Cloud is installed and working on my computer, nevertheless the Application "Adobe Illustrator" appears as "Installed and Updated" but it is physically NOT in my computer.
    I cannot find the Application in my computer, I installed Photoshop and other Apps, they are all to find in my PC, except Illustrator.
    I tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and all the Apps that I had, I re-installed creative cloud but still it showed "Adobe Illustrator" as "installed and updated", even if I have no Adobe illustrator folder on my Computer, it really does not exist in my computer.
    What is wrong with the Application?

    I restarted the machine and got this message

    hi do the following
    1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
    2. If prompted click yes,
    3.  expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
    something similair)
    5. right click the sid and press delete.
    6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
    in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
    i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
    i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

    You need to update iTunes to version 10.7. http://www.apple.com/itunes
    You also need to update you profile. It says you have an iPhone 3G with iOS 6.0.1. That is not physically possible.
