    To my understanding, the people that wrote that tool are/were under the impression that certain code in the bios was reference to a SLIC version. They wrote that tool on that basis. When the bioses were modded using that assumption F12 would no longer work in the bios. The Microsoft tool (Windows 7 activation) does not agree apparently because Windows 7 is still activated regardless.
    That is my understanding of that issue, so why change some code that may corrupt the bios and windows 7 activation does not even need it or look at it?
    Do you want to use SLIC Dump tool 1.05 or Windows 7?

    too bad, have you tried getting a rw report to see what it says of SLIC? No sense just reflashing time and time again until we figure out why you don't activate. We must determine if it is because of SLIC. That specific model was shipped without windows, right? Let's figure out if the SLIC is present or if there is a different reason. Were you using Vista on it before? How was it activated?

    When in doubt format-reinstall, and use dos bios build
