    There are 2 Phoenix tools on this forum that I have found. Both marked Version 1.24, but they are different in that one of them has dozens of folders with SLIC 2.1 . I wanted to use this tool for my Dell Phoenix bios but now Im not sure which one is which or who has the most recent tool for download. Anyone know which V 1.24 is the latest one? On the one I downloaded you cannot verify the SLIC was a success it just says it completed sucessfully, and the second one has the option to Verify the mod, I tried that and I must have chosen the wrong SLIC file as it does not match up so Im somewhat afraid to use this tool on my Bios I dont want to end up with a dead laptop, the motherboards cost $400 for these things.... So if there is a current release thats tested, that will verify that SLIC has been added can you post a download link to it please?

    Thankyou, in advance...

    many ppl off-line activated their windows 7, so far havent heard any issue with WAT. but you never know in the future.
    I am not sure when the time comes, andyp will automate the tool to change bios date too :)

    As far as I know this is a rumour currently.
    When it happens I will look at the tools.
