Worked for me. Special thanks to busykid and all the other modders for all their help. You guys are awesome.
WHO has leaked this activation key? It's unofficial and illegal AND ONLY USED BY MODDERS!!! 22 Oct it will be blacklisted and the game re-begins! This Key perhaps accepts old certificats
He is right there is a very good chance that this key will be blaklisted because it hasn't been loaded on any genuine systems yet, so they can easily blacklist it.
Arghhh, only just saw your edit, well I can say this much, it DOESN'T work with the checksum error in it Off to mod another BIOS and try again, 3rd time lucky
it was leaked in lenovo oem ISO. And no this key cant be blacklisted so easy, because its "offline" activation.
What i said, paranoid? This a OEM:SLP key, MS never blacklisted a OEM:SLP key before as it would affect legitimate users as well! This key is leaked from LENOVO, so blacklisting this key would affect all legitimate LENOVO System buyers. Never, never gonna happen!
So what?? According to your logic winxp vlk keys could not be blacklisted because they were offline activations.... WGA can check for any key, online and offline. MS can issue a new key to lenovo if they wanted to...
Dump your modded oem SLIC, checksum of dumped file should have checksum of 00 (you can use Winhex to calculate checksum)
maybe production of laptops and pc with win7 preinstalled has started, so this key can not be blaclisted
No, we are talking OEM activation here!, Winxp OEM:SLP keys never have been blacklisted That is a possibility
OEM and retail dvd are almost identical but oem has certificate it wont activate as retail you need slic2.1 in bios + certificate and key.

Because all SLP keys for xp and vista leaked AFTER they were used to activate legit OEM installations, so blacklisting them would render all the legit copies as ungenuine. This key however has not been used in production yet so MS can still blacklist, but I doubt that they will do this because any new key is gonna leak anyways and users are going to switch to that key... Just saying that it's technically possible.
