    Thank you.
    RWEverything shows SLIC table was unlocked on my R630. However RWEverything shows SLIC 2.4. I expected SLIC 2.5 since R630 supports Server 2019 and I use the latest 2.13.0 BIOS.
    Is there a solution to get BIOS for R630 with SLIC 2.5?

    Hi Guys,

    does anyone know, how to reverse the process?
    I would need the SLIC 2.3 hidden again on my R320.

    bios will not allow me to enter PASS:12/34" in the Asset Tag field. the field is there but can't enter nothing.

    Got it. Was able to enter the PASS:12/34. Hidden SLIC is only 2.1

    This worked great on T300 & T710. Made it possible to SLIC 2.6 & Activate Server 2022. It also removes Service Tag which is a nice feature. Thanks for post

    @VladimirZ For slic 2.6 in a dell server you need x40 or x50 or x60 series. x40 series with win2019 got bios upgrade slic 2.6 but no more update i think

    x50 + x60 will get slic 2.7 (if that's the name next time )

    To unhide the SLIC table on PE T610 w 6.6.0 stock BIOS and Dell Lifecycle Controller 1.7.5.4 I had to press F10 System Services, Hardware Configuration, HII Advanced Configuration, System BIOS Settings, Miscellaneous Settings for Asset Tag editing. Typing PASS:12/34, save and reboot in manufactoring mode cleared the setting that disabled the full SLIC 2.1 table. Using F2 = System Setup showed Service Tag and Asset Tag field on the title bar, but I could not find the way to edit the asset tag this way.

    after you unhide SLIC how do you upgrade to a newer SLIC perferably 2.6?

    I know you can upgrade SLIC in HDR file but how do you flash with new SLIC's HDR file?
