i just used the gigabyte ep45 ud3r f9 slic zort posted. i use the vista bootloader cleaner thing? and cleaned out all the boot loader, and it showed me 30 days left which means it worked. i then flashed my bios (F9 Slic ) and now it shows it is activated. and it seems like it fixed the sleep deactivation(putting the computer to sleep would make vista deactivates) was it a success? does it mean my vista won't deactivate anymore? thanks EDIT: is that how slic works? it activates your vista permanently instead of using vista activators ? sorry im a noob at this
Sounds like you did everything right crazyboy515. This should stay activated permanently as long as you use this bios (or to another one that also has SLIC added).
