    Hiya,

    I have just finished installing Dell Windows Ultimate on Alienware M11x R1 and it shows windows need to be activated in 3 days.

    I have used the same dvd on other laptops without any problems. Any idea how can I fix this?

    Thanks :worthy:

    Did you activate it on the other laptops? Have you tried to activate it on the Alienware? If so by what method?

    Alienware uses its own SLIC, not Dell's. So you need Alienware cert.
