Yes it contains a SLIC already, but I think it is v1 as the laptop came with Windows XP. However I'll try to install an MSI license key and will report back here after.
I installed an MSI license key and it activated. I thought the SLIC was SLP1 (the one used by Windows XP). Thanks
i think i fixed it i had to manually install the sony xml lic file.. it now says actiavted im going to reboot a few times to make sure.
Vista If is says you're activated then you're good to go! Only way it will be unactivated is if you flash a unmodded BIOS or MS issues an update to disable this mod (which I doubt).
Sorry M8 note true you can make an OEM dvd that will activate automatically, do search on forums i have posted method before..
