    That is what I want to check the cert for. The key if a different key the then l. key so it might be possible.

    But it is also a rather longish way...

    It would be nice to have a util that just opens the certificate & shows it in plain language

    Another possible way, without installing windows, is to use one of ANDYP's bios mod tools, and use the compare feature to compare a slic to a cert, it will tell you if it matches. So if you think you have a dell cert, select the dell 2.1 slic, the cert, and click compare. That's the easiest way that I am aware of to compare a known SLIC to a cert to see if it matches....

    EDIT:
    Chad beat me to it. Basically the same thing, just a different program I believe.

    Thanks, is it available somewhere?

    (I mean the standalone, that I was hoping for one)

    Oh, i just deleted the javascript check, now you just either upload single or both items,

    I'm not going to split them up as i see no benefit in doing that, the purpose of the online check is to verify authenticity of SLIC/Cert and check if both items match
