    :confused::confused::confused:Is there an easy way to look into the bios that I have installed (or a copy) on my laptop? I want to see what the actual installed OEM keys or certs are that are included in my SLIC 2.1 table in my bios. It's a Dell Phoenix Bios Plus v1.10 - A19 and the actual file name is M4400A19.exe. I have extracted the ROM and HDR file, but I don't know what program to use to get the information that I want. I'm just very curious to see what the certs or keys are and as well curious as to how to get the information from my bios. I had a loader installed, but have uninstalled it.

    You may confuse between SLIC/KEY/CERT

    I geuss what I'm asking is how can you view the Slic 2.1 table in the bios. I am geussing that is where the OEM keys(?) are that match what is in the "cert" file when you insert it into windows to make it an OEM version. Thanks and I certainly didn't mean to confuse anyone, but do see what you mean. Thank you
