    And it won't activate a recovery DVD of windows 7 because a recovery dvd is not a true OEM Version....

    These slics only activate Retail or OEM versions of windows 7 and will not activate windows dvd recovery files....they are not the same...

    You need to download Windows 7 Retail RTM in order to activate it with your modified bios by Yen.

    It would logically appear that in order to help someone, they must first present their problem and, in the case of helping with a modifed bios, present a link to download the bios as well as give us an indicator of the name of the bios file and what is the problem.

    Let's see, given the logic, have you fulfilled one of these requirements? HELL NO, for all you did was say there is a problem and then not once give us a link to the bios file, not once offer us the name of the computer in question and not once provide an rw everything report in order to help you.

    Sorry for being so blunt but good grief dude, how do you expect anyone to help you with such trivial non-sense as you gave above in your post.

    Do you want to apply the marker tools?
    Then use CB-01 marker 2.1 found at post #3
    If you want to mod it use andy's tool and the same SLIC. Both is found at the first place of the collection. SLIC and corresponding marker behind. ;)

    I will try Marker because there is no BIOS available for Lenovo G550 ...

    My feer lay in the "TBD" entry in my Software Licensing Description Table. The LENOVOCB-01.BIN from post #3 change it into "MSFT". Is it ok?

    :confused:
    You only need the marker data (last part of SLIC) to try the marker tool! SLP2MARK
    There is no TBD

    You don't need the whole SLIC table.
    Don't modify the SLIC! The TBD is the creatorID and doen't matter at all. If you modify the SLIC you need to correct its sum as well or set a zero byte at offset 9.

    All SLP2MARK files are ready for update. No need to change anything. Just make sure you are using the RIGHT one. E.g. if your ID is CB-01 use marker CB-01. If you don't find your marker e.g. TP-63 you need a biosmod and you cannot go for a marker update.
    A marker update will persist at any further update of a original bios and is very safe to perform, whereas a biosmod 'loses' the marker if updated with a new original bios.;)
