    MRP 141 is not too far behind either now as i have tried to work on both at same time using the working routines from the QT that are also used in MRP, saves time.

    v141 wont be too long. Sorry for the delay but at least both projects are ready for the future ( i hope) , and can easy be adapted for any other stuff m$ decides to remove!

    Hmm that weird character still on the VRam result :g:Have tried to force the running PS script to be English and it seems like that line has been ignored!

    Ah well at least i think the amount is correct and the 'ΓΏ' should be a , i think.

    Looks like the results are all English now ? i not see any other references...

    For the Vram new routine -- It is a powershell issue that i not know how to fix as the routine is using a array/index that i am not familiar with to know how to substitute a single char within a string.

    *See a post below re if fixed*

    if loader is detected then 'Emulated?' will be shown in the '#09 SLIC Information' part.

    Loader i think uses 'royalty' OEM keys.

    Windows Loader (7 or Servers) uses OEM:SLP keys. They are from royalty OEMs, but don't count as Retail.
    The HwID (digital license) uses a common default key. That's usually a Retail one, sometimes OEM:NSLP, MAK or OEM:DM.

    Using a Replace command thing...

    Nope cant 'replace' using .replace() or even -replace command lets... :(

    I think it does show if Retail / HWID / OEM / OEM_DM etc for Windows activation bit... Well it does on WMIC version , i'm sure i mimicked the same calls via VBScript to give similar results..

    GVLK/MAK types should be shown... as the product channel.

    Noticed this in Server 2022 / 21H2. Am I just missing something/missunderstanding?

    That info should be obtained by WMIC in that version of MRP.

    But remember that is not the new MRP 141 that is in development which has a few new bits done.

    MRP 141 is now at RC1 stage as i am happy with the results so far as all new additional routines are operative.

    QT 118 BC3 has been uploaded for testers..

    @tcntad - see if that shows the correct Daylight saving as that uses 3 methods to determine it now!
