    Show it as "TSForge", then.

    I will leave things as they are as i have other things to get sorted and tested first :)

    Once i can work out if TSForge was selected and used somehow then i can amend the data shown.

    In 160 BT5 i have added some temp code to see if i can detect if TSForge has been used by checking if the OEM_DM channel is detected when no MSDM table was used and the OS is licenced (offline)

    Its simple test code and if not reliable enough i will remove it on the next beta, because TSForge not leave any files in the OS it is far harder to simply check if it been used as it may just of been set to activate Office and not the OS etc...

    Uploaded 160 BT5 for beta testers :)

    As mentioned above just added some test code to detect if TSForge/MAS was used to activate windows - very experimental and may or may not work as intended.

    I don't think they want it to be easily detectable, you know? :p

    Hmm my code not work to pick up on the oem_dm token. :(

    *Edit*
    Hopefully fixed the code to see if possible Mas/TSForge activation was done.

    I had renamed a variable but forgot to change a 'IF' check to the new variable name so the check never 'saw' the flag set. :oops:

    Uploaded 160 BT6 for beta testers :)

    Code hopefully fixed as mentioned above...

    If it works then an indicator will be on the 'Licensed' line such as {M} or {M/T}.

    No other changes made.

    Still experimental so it could still be 'hit and miss' :D

    Remember, Mr. N, I almost damaged my motherboard because of my curiosity while restoring the system's BIOS.:p

    I know Mr. H :p

    But it's also gave me time to update other routines for the product licensing channel etc as I had to look at those areas so it not a wasted experience:D

    Talking of bios...

    I had a friend ask me why his w10 laptop wanted to update to w11 but it required a newer bios so he followed the instructions and did that then once that done he proceeded with the upgrade to w11. He got the message that the device didn't meet the minimum specifications, yet it passed all before.

    I took a look and I could not see any issues, was gen 12 intel, tpm 2.0, 8gb ram, 1tb ssd etc etc. Yet win 11 setup/upgrade not like something!

    So I backed his data up, started a fresh install with a standard w11 image with no bypass etc and no issues.

    Win 11 is getting weirder all the time.

    It tends to choke on its own routines, sometimes, that's nothing new.

    The project's come a long way since 2014 when i think it was originally created, the branding part is still the main heart of the project, the other is just either eye candy or tweaks :D

    Although windows 11 is like a rebellious teenager than the more mature 7/8.x and w10 - but we are working on taming the brattish upstart of w11 :p
