    Hi team,

    Can anyone please tell me, if I have a SLIC 2.1 table and a valid OEM cert then can we generate SLP keys from them by reverse engineering?

    If it is possible then how we can achieve the goal? (For educational purpose only :) )

    No.

    The key is not tied to the SLIC / Cert pair, rather to the verision of windows you are installing.

    So how does the encryption math works for activation? I need a very clear picture of the algorithm behind it. Can any one help me or point to some tut?

    First, system detects the type of installed key by it's PID. If it appears to be OEM:SLP, then it checks if there's ACPI SLIC table loaded in memory and if this table is valid. If it is, it searches for matching oem-certificate inside tokens.dat file. If it's there, properly installed, then system is considered activated.
