    I think some integrity checking is at play.

    Thanks. Good thought.
    As you say, there must be some sort of check on that (and perhaps the other) modules
    Will keep looking :L

    my first try I left, remove vendor specific locks checked and it flashed and booted into Windows fine,
    so changes to MSOA don't pose a problem. What would be involved with replacing MSOA with a simple
    SLIC injector?

    Thats effectively what the module method is for EFI
    If the 4Cxxx module doesn't exist it will be added (this effectively injects a SLIC)

    Dear qtm/Serg008,
    kindly answer me. Which method for H61M-P20 by MSI. Is it Module or Dynamic.
    No-one seems to bother to answer. This is too bad.

    I may not have time to finish working on this, so I am posting the source for the MSOA replacement module.
    currently does just enough to activate Windows, key and marker stored in nvram and can be installed/removed
    with CLI application provided.

    todo:
    inject slip string
    replicate MSOA's modification to SMBIOS table
    write application to make replacing MSOA easier

    happy hacking...
