    Thanks for the feedback.

    To unpack 6juj28uc.iso :
    -- open 6juj28uc.iso with ultraiso
    -- Bootable: Save Boot file... (save (e.g.) as Boot.bif)
    -- open Boot.bif with ultraiso ;)

    Hello!

    Could someone help me? I have a thinkpad t520 4243 type with original lenovo 1.46 bios. I've been using win7 enterprise with ms toolkit autokms to activate since 2013 without any problems. Now I reinstalled win7 and tried to acivate win7 without success. Each time slic is somehow erased in bios or something. Autokms log:

    ERROR CODE: 0xC004F035
    ERROR TEXT: The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated with a Volume license product key. Volume-licensed systems require upgrading from a qualifying operating system. Please contact your system administrator or use a different type of key.
    WARNING: It will be impossible to activate via KMS due to OEM BIOS issues.
    <Product activation failed>

    So I always thought activating via autokms doesn't require a slic table in bios that i used to have. I attached some pictures of the slic table that is empty now. Since I have the newest bios I could only update the machine type to reflash the bios using lenovo bios update utility. After the reflash everything was ok, slic table was loaded and autokms successfully activated windows. However after 8 hours, again I get this same error and slic table is empty again... Is this due to some kind of hardware / bios failure? My machine was never modded...

    Thanks for help

    So again I flashed the bios to the same model type. Here is the now well loaded slic table that will become empty again... Any thoughts?

    I bought it as a refurbished but it has a sticker yes for win7 pro but I will run this backup tool when activation is going to fail again because of slic reset.
    I reflashed the bios 3 or 4 times since yesterday and goes on and on... Don't know if the cause of this can be detected or how to solve the problem.
    Mobo replacement?

    This problem can also be caused by RAM modules. This happened after you resumed the laptop (after the sleep mode)?

    No, i just put it into sleep. Also rebooted. But yeah, if slic data is loaded into ram then ram can be definitely bad. Because everything else is working good.
