Hello there! I updated my BIOS in my Acer laptop and my Windows 7 Enterprise pop up that the Windows is not genuine. I always used KMS to activate Windows. Now I can't use KMS couse it says that it requires a proper operating system to upgrade from. Anyone can help me? Thanks, feel free to ask for any other info if needed.
Not working, I cannot even use KMS activation at all. ERROR CODE: 0xC004F035 ERROR TEXT: The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated with a Volume license product key. Volume-licensed systems require upgrading from a qualifying operating system. Please contact your system administrator or use a different type of key.
The same settings, yes. And I did a clean install and the same. I think the BIOS update somehow modified the SLIC in BIOS, but I don't understand what exactly it did. I don't think it's corrupt and I can't flash it back. I think that there are more versions of Acer Aspire 5742ZG. Some comes with Windows preinstalled, some not. Mine came without. But I think maybe now I flashed (cause there was only one type of BIOS update available for 5742ZG) a BIOS that has some OEM bits. So maybe I can now install Home Premium/Ultimate and activate as OEM. The question is, if I install them, how can I activate the Windows to use the OEM info present in BIOS
