    You could mod BIOS, you could use ZWT KMS, you could get MSDN key from a friend, you could use Daz loader, you could buy Technet subscription

    Lots of choices...

    Hi and thanks,
    I have tryed the ZWT KMS and it will not activate... windows box pops up says the data is invalid. I guess the data from the kms is messed up ?
    As far as modding goes... it all is a bit confusing... i cant even get a vmware version to activate... Doh!

    many thanks guys

    ZWT's keygen does not work for every system - it will return 0x8007000d... It's a known issue.. Yes, some people get lucky if they encounter that error, and it happens to work after countless retries. For others, though, it will not work no matter what is done. That could involve rearming, reinstalling, re-anything...

    I have made it work now ... and it was down to the fact i had disconected my router to break any public internet just in case
    it tryed to activate via M$ and a result of that was my network defaulted to 169. blah. blah. causing the keygen to not work as there was no real network for it to loop back on.

    connecting it back to the router corrected the IP issue ( which i did not notice btw ... DOH! ) and with a real network as in 192.168 blah the keygen worked 1st time.

    Hope that helps any others that may be making the same mistake as me and thank you to all who gave advice as to this problem

    regards

    If the key is a OEM:SLP key, then DAZ's loader also helps u; but for other types of key, u must contact Microsoft to activate [except KMS... it can be activated via mini-KMS Activator or something like that]

    Loader is a soft modd, which can't be compared to the real OEM BIOS modding. First it can be disabled by an update and second in the most cases they are not safe, excluding DAZ and others present in the MDL.

    And BIOS mod is what? Hardware modification? Of course it is also soft mod, just the software is written somewhere else

    This is the ****** thing you could write. For modded BIOS where is the application, service or what ever the loader is installing in the OS and do I patch HAL.DLL, kernel.dll or any other file when I am modding the BIOS.
    Complete rubbish.

    And which loader patches hal and/or kernel?

    None that I seen, also pure loader does not use any service, application etc, it patches the memory & simply loads the slic in there, exactly the same as it happens with slic loaded from BIOS, so they are BOTH soft mods, as simple as that

    Maybe you are confused with ODIN (which is NOT a loader)
