    I have Purchased a Acer Aspire 4930,
    I installed the Vista Ultimate SP1 & tried cracking with all the available activator's & all that I could do, but failed :(

    I installed Everest for checking my BIOS details & found that SLIC is not present, After that I updated the BIOS from OEM site to V1.15 which is the latest , still SLIC could not be installed.

    Please help me to get a solution to this problem. Its been 02 months of the purchase of the Notebook & its hardly useful.
    I will be very grateful if you post the Method Step by step.


    Thanks..

    What do you mean voatk-tools, failed all voatk-tools does is get rid of various hack and editiions to vista bootloader. If you want step by step method then search the forum. There aint a request thread on this site

    Please post an ACPI Scope report so the problem can be identified.
    Post a report with and without WOW.

    From my understanding all Acer Laptops that came with Vista Preloaded are SLIC capable.

    I "upgraded" my Vista Home Premium to Business Edition simply by using the Acer OEM Cert and using the Acer Vista Business OEM CD-Key and it activated successfully.

    I didn't have to touch my BIOS at all.

    @satchit never said that his computer came with vista preinstaled.
    So probably he doesn't has a working SLIC inside his bios.

    Those BIOS found on Acer Sites should come with SLIC
    I updated my BIOS from these site and Vista Activation still works.

    Yes that's true for the computers which came with Vista preinstalled.
    Couse if you've paid to the OEM for your Vista copy than you should also be able to update your bios and preserve the SLIC table.
    If it came without SLIC, than updating the bios won't make it have one.
    I think there is a code that checks to see if SLIC is present, and if present than the newly flashed bios will have a SLIC as well.
