    In the Product key field does not exist HP. So, what should I select? I have to run this program in Windows 7 safe mode and in the Administrator account o not?

    THANKS

    No safe mode needed. Select any key, the key can be from any manufacturer. ;)

    Everything you need to know is in the help documentation, just click the [Help] button... :D

    I tried to run that software from Administrator account but does not work because, when Windows 7 is restarted, it communicates to me that it is not yet activated. Why?

    Your software also changes the computer's BIOS or not?

    No changes are made to the BIOS. If you want to mod your BIOS, you need to flash it with tools provided elsewhere. This program is for people who either already have a modded BIOS, or who do not have a modded BIOS (this program will not mod your BIOS).

    From the sound of it, you dont have a modded BIOS.
    If you dont have a modded BIOS, just run the program and click the [Install] button, no changes need to be made (e.g. dont check the "I have a modded BIOS" check box, or any of the check boxes...). ;)

    If the default loader mode does not work, try the alternate or the forced mode. There are a few different modes that can be tried from the "Loader Mode" combo box, all of which are a little different and will work on different computers... With loaders, if the default mode does not work, sometimes you need to do a little experimenting.

    If you want, you can set the Certificate/SLIC combo box to the type of BIOS (or the brand of computer) you have, but it is not necessary. You can use any key in the "Product Key" drop-down combo box.


    EDIT: If you dont have any more questions, then I'm goin to bed...its almost 5a.m. here and I have been working on the new version of O7A almost non-stop since around 3pm. I'll stick around for another 15 or 20 minutes, then it's bed time...

    ....and finally, here it is...the new version! It has taken a bit of effort, but it was all worth it. :D

    This is a major revision to O7A's code and should provide for a much more robust program that will better ensure proper activation and correct installation of the key and certificate...not to mention the loader file. I am very proud of this new release, a lot of effort went into it...and thanks go out to PAYMYRENT for all his help with the new version! ;)

    *1.2.1:
    ---Almost fully recoded the installation/unintallation functions to better ensure activation. (many thanks go to PAYMYRENT for all his help with this!)
    ---Major updates to the program's error checking and improved fail-safe code to better ensure activation. (many thanks go out to PAYMYRENT for his help with this!)
    ---Modified the way the program works - the program will now *only* use slmgr.vbs if it *needs* to. (Under normal conditions, slmgr will not be used at all.)
    ---Enhanced error handling to ensure the product key, certificate and loader file are all installed properly and if they are not, the user is properly informed. (again, many thanks to PAYMYRENT for all his help!)
    ---Added code to lock the loader file and disallow file system access to it (to keep the loader file more secure). (thanks for the help PAYMYRENT! ;-))
    ---Now when the loader is run, the "Certificate/SLIC" corresponding to the user's BIOS should automatically be selected in the "Certificate/SLIC" drop-down combo box.
    ---Fixed code that restarts the computer to make it work better.
    ---Added new TongFang Win7 HomeBasic SLP key.

    ...as always, please let me know if there are any issues, questions, recommendations, comments....and of course if there are any errors (although there should not be...too many :p ;)).


    Still on the ToDo list: Fix SLIC detection. (Hopefully this will be done for the next release. It is extremely minor and only cosmetic... :))

    Thank you for the compliments, I did put a lot of effort into this new version (PAYMYRENT too...he tested a lot of stuff for me and helped me with some tricky code...this new version is partly thanks to his help.). Hopefully it goes a while without a major bug report. :p :)

    Let me know if you want me to pm you a link to the source if you want to check it out... ;)

    Brilliant - Literally 1 Click

    Just activated 64 bit version on a new unbranded PC
    Did not even change the brand from ACER - was literally 1 CLICK.
    You are a genius - many thanks.

    PS the help files and other stuff were beautifully done, makes a lot of MS stuff look third rate. Bill ought to employ you.
