Hi all, I was running activated with an OEM SLIC modified BIOS and the asus cert file to activate it, but my motherboard died so I replaced it with the same model, flashed it with the same SLIC edited bios, verified its presence with Everest, but now it says I have 15 days to activate. Is there a method or any series of commands I need to do to tell it to reactivate. I'm hoping to not have to reinstall vista and all my programs. Thanks
Turn off UAC slmgr -rilc slmgr -rearm then reboot machine slmgr -ilc C:\asus.xrm-ms slmgr -ipk key Wait for response after applying each command. -ato command is NOT used at SLP2.0 activation steps!!! Yen
Ya that didn't work, I tried changing my MAC address of the new NIC but that didn't work either, I think that's what ties my old mobo to the license, I will likely have to reinstall.
I ended up reinstalling from scratch, it worked and I'm activated now. Thanks for the suggestions though.
