Yep, If you want a hp slic, say so, and I will change it for later. We can see if asus works first, it is no biggie to change cert later and serial will probably stay the same.
I appreciate all your help so far, I'm very new to these concepts. What would someones reason be for wanting one Slic over another?
If you want to keep a machine one brand, and dual boot xp/vista, some slp1 strings are easier to input. HP will go in with a DMI editor and activate XP with oembios files and serial from HP. Dell is not that simple, but can be done. Some OEMs didn't initially, or don't offer ultimate. Gateway for example. Home premium is well and fine for most people, but they want ULTIMATE, some compensation thing Anyway, it boils down to preference, and I think ASUS was one of the first found to work, sooo Hard to break the paradigm once it has started and all want asus slics. They all work well, and if you don't dual boot, it doesn't matter IMHO.
Thanks! Well I just finished the installation and all is activated I can't thank you enough, you assistance has saved me countless hours. I don't dual boot so I should be good with my current Cert. Thanks so much for the help, your the best!
