Yes you are probably right. You don't see any changes. To confirm that activation doesn't work with 2b was important to me...too bad. I sure will do a mod (option2). Yesterday I was too tired to do. Therefore I have to concentrate on it. It's not that simple to do like the other Notebook. This is a challenge to me...mod will follow this weekend...stay tuned Yen
I see what you mean; I have tried myself to include in the BIOS the SLIC & RSDT values used for the MX6920 (that's GATEWA-SYSTEM-LTP for both) but at reboot Everest shows GATEWA-M-LTP which is not good for activation. I have followed carefully instructions for the BIOS Editor, but I wonder whether there is , say, a sort of an editing "glitch" which removes "SYSTE" from SYSTEM, in other words an unwanted trimming of the user-inserted string.

eerhm... I did a "SLMGR.VBS -ilc C:\ASUS.XRM-MS", which went OK. Then a "SLMGR.VBS -ipk <OEM_PRODUCT_KEY>". Productkey installed ok. Then I checked the status with "SLMGR.VBS -dlv" and it told me 15 days left. I didn't disable UAC, but that I going to try now I get the same error as nniwatta edit: disabling UAC doesn't work, I get an Activation error 0xC004E003
