Running CLR I get.... Clear marker in BIOS Error: The marker has been cleared or Process not support Operation is not completed Running FLASH I get.... Load file in data segment buffer Triggering software SMI to combine marker file for SLP2.0 Please wait..... Error: The marker already exist Operation is not completed ------------------- UPDATE 2013/06/01 I looked around for reports of similar issues and found the Windows 7 -> SLP Marker File Update Utility thread and used the Y580 utility there to perform the update and was then able to activate Windows. Many thanks to conghoaxa1 for his patience and originally pointing me in the right direction.
You missed the point. If Windows is installed on an UEFI system in UEFI mode then SLIC Toolkit's driver fails to detect the RSDT pointer and thus it can't detect SLIC. davidxxw is no more active in this forum; so no (possible) update from him. You may try RW Everything to detect SLIC.
Since when? I use it a lot & it has always worked. I do many win8 pro downgrades to win7 pro & use Slic_toolkit all the time with no issue. Legacy/UEFI/32/64bit - no problem. Here's a screen from a MSI notebook, uefi Win8 Pro installed (note product key has been removed): View attachment 22307 Anyway, cool, I wasn't aware of any issue.. So be it...
