I have a Gateway/Acer Notebook (Model NV5807U Phoenix BIOS) Which came with Windows Vista Home Premium (it has a SLIC 2.0 Table says Everest) I have a Windows 7 upgrade Disc that I got with the computer, as part of Gateway's/Microsoft's Free Upgrade Program as I bought the Computer Back in November 2009 Before Windows 7 was officially released and I want to make a 2.1 SLIC using my own license key (I don't want to use the Infamous Acer Key that is already out there I want to use my OWN key and license information) I reinstall alot so a SLIC code would help the activation issue and hopefully pass the new WAT test I know how to flash BIOS and I have done it on Notebooks before and I am confident that I can do it right I just need to know how to Use my OWN information in the SLIC 2.1 table I have read up on the subject and I just need to know how to extract the Windows 7 Home Premium License Information from the computer So I can add the information to to BIOS
You can not use your own key, your own key is OEM:NONSLP (this is the key attached to to Windows 7 upgrade disc) For OEM activation to work you HAVE to use a OEM:SLP key Here is the list of requirements to meet the OEM activation spefication: Modded or Emulated SLIC 2.1 BIOS Matching OEM Certificate OEM:SLP Key for the SKU you are installing Code: BIOS with SLIC 2.1 ↓ → Cert that matches SLIC in BIOS ↓ → SLP Licensing Mode unlocked ↓ → a OEM:SLP Key for the SKU you are installing ↓ → Windows 7 Activated
I would suggest you pick the same OEMCreatorID as it has in your current 2.0 SLIC bios Look in everest what your current OEMCreatorID is set to.
