    I patched correctly the vmware player 3.1.3 (correct message, backup of vmware-vmx, and SLI logo at boot) but when I tried to activate the W7 x64 virtual machine with OEM SLI something goes wrong (no activation ;) ).
    My host system is W7 x64 Italian language, I see in the first post that is :"-----!!!!! ENGLISH/USA ONLY !!!!!-----" but I see that the system seems to patch correctly the bios, so there's something I can try?
    If the operating system language is the problem what can I do?

    Regards
    Alessio

    You could supply more information i,e, what manufacturer did you try to patch with did you try another manufacturer. Also run slic dump toolkit to check you are using correct certificate e.c.t.

    @smlick...

    @urie already stated "check you are using correct certificate e.c.t."

    The bios patcher does not activate the system ... you have to install certificate for OEM brand you applied and serial for edition you installed.

    I don't think you are installing certificate|serial

    I know I have to place the correct OEM key.....but you are right about the certificate......I looked to the advanced tab and the certificate is missing o_O
    Can you tell me what to do to add certificate?

    In the traditional BIOS mod I remember that I put the signature into the firmware BIOS and then put the OEM key to reg the operating system....nothing more.
    Here is different?

    Tnx again
    Alex

    Tnx again :worthy: I tried what you suggest but also if now in advanced compare the cert installed the activation doesn't go to the right way :confused:
    There's something I can try more?

    Bye

    This forum should be member ONLY (so is not Google spider searchable and does not get "unwanted" attention!)
