hi guys, i modded my bios with your great support first everything worked fine and System says windows is activated but today an message poped up where the time and date shows that i only have 13 days left to test vista and that i should save all my files. Under control panel \ System it still says activated but why did i get this message? Im very confused now... how can i check if my vista is fully activated? Im afraid that it won't work anymore after the 13 days... thank you.
when i enter this command a message pops up which says your pc is activated. But why did i get this message saying i have only 13 days left?
ok i entered the following comand: slmgr.vbs -ilc c:\ASUS.XRM-MS and got the message that the licence file ASUS.XRM-MS has been installed correctly. Last time i also got this message.. isnt it strange that everywhere my vista says its activated but sometimes these messages pop up that i only have X days left to activate vista.... why does that happen? How can i check if my vista is realy activated? I hope that it will not lock me out after these 13 days.
did you also enter the key? I've never seen this before, I hope for you're sake it doesn't get into reduced mode. But i'm a bit curious what gonna happen after the 13 days. Maby its some kind of bug in sp1, do you have a spare partition to try a fresh installation & sp1 .
no i dont have another partition and i dont want to change anything here cause everything is working so fine... this time i didnt enter the key when i typed slmgr.vbs -ilc c:\ASUS.XRM-MS but the first time i did enter this key. What was the correct command again to enter the key? Maybe the ASUS.XRM-MS is not the correct licence file for me? How can i check if this is correct or not? Im not 100% which SLIC is in my modded Bios. How can i check that? I have an Abit IP35 Pro Mainboard which was modded from someone from this forum.
You don't get activated with the wrong certificate. For the key you can use: slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx...
today i got the warning message again saying that i have 9 days left... so i guess i installed vista 21 days ago. This is realy confusing me. Vista is everywhere showing activated but i keep getting this message. I dont want to be deactivated after these 9 days. How can i get sure this won't happen? Why doesnt the bios modd work for me?
Dont know about other people but i wasn't using deamon tools. I installed vista and then installed SP1.. only other softwares i used were norton and windows live messenger before i got the not activated
But why did that happen to me? I installed vista sp1 (Sp1 was already integrated in that release) then i modded my bios and activated it. Everything worked fine but after 15 days i got these popup messages. So does that mean my vista will realy not work after these remaining days? Or does that even meen my bios is damaged now? Can i remove the bios modd by flashing an original bios again? I think i will have no other chance than buying an original vista or what do you think?
Maby i can try a different modding method, but it is a quite sensitive bios. So there is a risk to brick it.
