?

Should I use powershell in this script to add more features? Vista will no longer be supported.

    Sorry for the late reply, and I also activated it successfully by using KMS_VL_ALL, but I use the latest BIOS from official site, it is untouched, not modded, and also in VMware it activating fine, and also on my main PC (on my main PC I use Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1) it also activating. So, anyone, if you can't activate it using EzWindSLIC, try use KMS_VL_ALL (if you use edition of Windows that supports KMS activation, in my case is Windows Server 2022 Datacenter x64)

    Even official BIOS versions can bear invalid marker or SLIC "stubs" on purpose. However, if that was the case for you, KMS activation would probably have failed as well (unless sppsvc failed to detect the invalid SLIC in UEFI mode, then you're lucky).

    So, I need to modify BIOS in order to have successfully activated Windows using EzWindSLIC? And KMS activation is succeeded for me, not failed.

    Go to EzWindSLIC-3.6\bin\ folder, run from PS/CMD "acpidump.exe -n slic" and post output in codetag. Alternative, run "acpidump.exe -n slic -b" and upload slic.dat (you can add .txt extension and attach to post)
    Or don't post output, just tell us if you get a qualified SLIC table readout.

    Excellent, thank you.
    Next question: are you booting with secure boot enabled?

    Uninstall product key:
    Code:
    slmgr.vbs /upk
    Re-run EZWindSLIC, it should install bootlader, keys, certs
    Reboot and check with [D] Display Activation Status
    Also, run "acpidump.exe -n slic" - you should have a SLIC v2.6 (assuming you'r still on Windows Server 2022)

    Edit:
    If you get an error, it would be helpfull with a screenshot or output in codetag from [D] Display Activation Status

    Thank you.
    SLIC is not presented as it should, was installing bootloader succesfully reported?
    There is a [F] Forceful mode: [Off] that you can enable if you have trouble installing the boot loader.

    Yes, it successfully installs bootloader

    UPD: I tried enabling Forceful mode, but I get the same as when I disable Forceful mode

    Ok, that is odd.
    You should have a SLIC table with the boot loader installed.

    Code:
    mountvol v: /s
    
    Explorer > V:\EFI\WindSLIC

    Should look like this with boot loader installed

    18-11-2021 20.37.50.ls.jpg

    You can unmount v: with
    Code:
    mountvol v: /d
    
    Reboot will have same effect.

    Thanks.
    I'm out of options atm.

    You can reverse back to KMS if you like.
    Unmount v:
    Uninstall
    Reboot
    KMS activate with the tool you prefer.

    I need to do some testing, I'm not familiar with your computer or bios so need to study this closer.
    I'll post you an update if a solution to this is found.

    Any members that can spot something I can't, please comment.
    :)

    P.S. Only if you mean that you don't know my PC and/or BIOS, and it is my secondary PC, my main PC is HP Pavilion 15 cw1001ua and it is running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1, and EzWindSLIC works fine on my main PC

    It may help indeed, my first goto is to try to understand why your computer refuses to load/or can't hold slic.bin into ram at booting.

    In Daz' Windows Loader Readme, there is a passage saying that a certain condition has to be fulfilled, beginning with Server 2012. RSDP must be in ROM, otherwise, no OEM:SLP activation can be achieved. Systems not satisfying that condition might not be able to use OEM:SLP at all.
